We had an engineering intern at work who grew up in a rather rural county, in a family that regularly ate raccoon.

He came in one day, stating that his Mom had fixed 'coon the night before. After three years of being away at college, he didn't even like the smell of it any more.

So raccoon can also be an unacquired taste.
