is it just me or does anyone else have problems with eating different eccentric foods that you've never tried before?

I LOVE trying new foods. I grew up traveling, and I was a vegetarian for six years, so I've been forced to expand my mind and my taste buds. And if I don't like something, at least I've tried it. I've discovered many favorite dishes from taking the plunge and opening wide. For example, I love raw oysters. Once upon a time, a girl from work dared me to eat one. I did, and now I love them!

Now that would be an adventure for me : BEING A VEGETARIAN. I should try that. I know it would only last a few days at the most. How long were you a vegetarian?

I really enjoy trying new foods from different cultures for the most part. There are a few things that I would draw the line at. If I could afford it I would try something new every day. I like food and like the ways different cultures fix their. I live in the United Sates so I'm sure that most res truants of different cultures have americanized their menus and recipes.

I have no qualms about it when being offered something new to eat. Most of the time though they actually taste good when I try it. I didn't expect it but are definitely worth trying. But at some point though, I admit when I'm not in a good mood at that day, I'd most likely pass at it.

Tasting new different foods is a nice experience. Especially when you go other places and tastes their cultural food. But for me, I really don't like eating raw foods such as sushi when I was in Japan, only cooked foods. My stomach can't take it. Lolz.

no problems here - if you are a child it is different. Also how you were treated as a child. They say you should offer a child a new thing about 30 times, only then can you assume they really do not like it because they will have tried it. You were probably brought up very unadventurously - sad but there we are.
