That is exactly the point they are trying to make... that you enjoyed it BECAUSE you thought of it as a delicacy and not as peasant food.

I think the point is a little overwrought, really... while our expectation is part of what makes it taste good, it doesn't completely change what we think... there are a lot of foods that are considered delicacies that a lot of people don't like.

When I was a child, I didn't even know the word "delicacy" let alone have any concept of whether what I was eating was a delicacy or not.

Like I said, I disagree with the person's overall thesis, just pointing out what they were trying to say.
