You ate what you were given as a child or you went hungry. Simple as that. My mother was from a poor background so pies and offal was perfectly normal food for her but my father grew up in America so he would not touch any of it, and would sort out his own food.
He introduced us to charcoal barbequed steak, burgers, KFC, popcorn with salt and melted butter, Chinese food, proper coffee, and so forth, back when those things were still a novelty in the UK.
Shepherd's pie or hot pot was not really much cop by comparison.
