Kind of along the same lines as @G. David Felt. Here in the midwest, I wouldn't surprise guests with something like that, as I feel that's not exactly good hosting either. If it's going to be something drastic, I think you should either ask guests ahead of time if it's something they'll try/eat or you should probably make a much safer backup dish if you're going to surprise the guests. In short: Ask ahead of time or prepare a backup, IMO.

I find it is important to take into consideration the culture and location. If local seafood is common in local dishes where you are at, then I do not see it as polarizing as they are making what is normal for them even when it might not be something you would eat. Good Hostess usually will ask if there are any allergies or foods that the guest are not comfortable with. Then cook appropriately.

I think that Americans should not forgive as easily as they do. Forgiveness is overrated. And that's me speaking as a Catholic. Those people will continue to pull the same $hi+. Musk's weirdness and nastiness should not be forgiven and forgotten. He should have stuck to being a businessman, if you even want to call him that. People should walk away from products and services offered by rotten people, and that would even include changing doctors, for example. I had a real "winner" of a doctor 3 years ago, as in one rude mofo.
