7. Dude, I'm sorry, but no one I know who was not raised with it likes it...

...It's an acquired taste and most non-Jews have not acquired it. Yet time and again, at too many Passover dinners, I've seen the non-Jewish guest urged to give it a try by someone just like you saying, "it's not that bad..." Out of politeness, the guest tries it, and after they get a swallow down, look liked they've just ingested something truly noxious. To most of them, it is that bad.

That's not the sort of thing I want some poor guest to remember first and foremost of their Passover experience at my home--that they felt forced to try that horrible gefilte fish--and I'm sure it's not what you want them to remember about Passover at your home either. Which is why I strongly recommend it be kept off the interfaith table--however much those of us raised with it might like it.
