Question on Reading: 97 Orchard

The author goes into a lot of detail about the specific food that the detained people ate on Ellis Island. In Chapter 4 about the The Rogarshevsky Family, Ziegelman specifies what the immigrants ate for each meal and how they adapted to the new foods they were served there, like cranberry and orange-fleshed potato. My question is, how did the immigrants feel about the new foods they were being served? Did they enjoy these and consider them delicacies or try to avoid them as much as possible?
