Will you taste food if...

Hi Candy, I have also made it a point not to eat Beef and Pork. I have tried both just because all of them around me tasted it and was telling me to try. I have tried once or twice but could not accept it. Sometimes I do try for the sake of trying. When I have food with friends, I wouldn't like to hurt their feelings by saying no to the food they like sharing. Once like that I tried Calamari at a restaurant here, tasted nice and had it. But after that I got affected by severe acid reflux and felt very bad for eating that. I should have stopped at trying and tasting it. I have heard sea food doesn't agree with some. That was the case maybe.

I was a vegetarian for 23 years( I am now 26) and then due to my partner I gave chicken a shot and I actually liked it. I also tried beef and lamb. So I have experimented with food. Imagine being a vegetarian for your entire life and then deciding to eat meat. Its all a mind game. But then somethings, I will never be able to eat. Sea food for one. I just cannot eat it! And people eat snakes and things like that. That is a no no no for me.

I have to admit that I am not very adventurous when it comes to food! I made one big mistake once a friend invited me over for dinner and was cooking me a meal, it looked and smelt real nice, I didn't realize what the ingredients were when I tasted it, it tasted rubbery and horrid, I wanted to spit it out but realized that it would be bad manners to do this and I quickly swallowed, I asked what it was and she said it was squid! Well that turned my stomach, I felt embarrassed at not being able to eat any more! So I am very careful what I taste because if I don't like it I need to spit it out or swallow it quickly. I am a fussy eater.

Hi friend, Basically i am a vegetarian,i prefer to eat veggies than non-veg.There is no restriction for me to eat vegetarian any where. have a nice day.

i have no restrictions when it comes to food (except for blood, i dont anything that has still blood in it or those dishes with bloos as part of it, we have that here and it is called 'dinuguan' it's made from pork blood, and another one is chicken blood barbecue) as long as it is clean, and fit for human consumption i will eat it. i will try tasting exotic foods too. anything that i havent tasted yet, i may try it, as long as it is cooked, and not raw.

Yes! I would try to taste those foods new to me provided that these are "Halal", foods allowed to eat for moslems, and not "Haram", foods that are forbidden to eat, such as pork and all similar foods with a meat of pig on it! New menu attracts the willingness to eat and enhances one's appetite! Also testing a foods from different delicacies improved our taste. It could be a way to understand and appreciate others taste. Thank you! Happy mylotting ^_^!

I like to try new foods and recipes, but there are some things I am squeamish about trying. Things like offal or haggis, I would have a very difficult time trying. On Top Chef Masters this past week, the chefs' challenge was to make dishes from beef tongue, tripe, beef heart. It looked as if they were successful in camouflaging it. If I didn't know what was in the dishes, I might have been inclined to try them. But if someone plopped a bowl of haggis in front of me, I doubt I could bring myself to try it. I'm reading a great book called The Man Who Ate the World by Jay Rayner. In one chapter he describes dining in a restaurant in Japan and being served a bowl of grilled sperm pouches from a blowfish. I could hardly read that passage. I just finished writing an article on the nutritional benefits of dandelion. It has more iron than spinach and more beta-carotene than carrots and broccoli. Knowing this doesn't make me any more likely to dig up weeds in my backyard.

Sure I would as long as it is edible and fit for human consumption. But what challenge me most is eating exotic food. So far, I have eaten one of our delicacies here in the Philippines, we call it "balot" and it's actually duck's egg with embryo of the chick in it. Although too much of it would boost up your cholesterol, but eating it just for the sake of tasting it is somewhat a test for my curiosity. Last year in Hongkong, along with my friends there was a place in there where we ate larvae sautéed in soysauce and some other spices. Nice taste and juicy too.

yes! i love trying new things...and new dishes...its nice to experience something new...the only thing that i will not try to eat even how yummy and tempting it looks like is the food that is forbidden to eat in my religion... oh, by the way, here in the Philippines we call that whole pork dish "lechon"(roasted pig) and yes its very delicious... thanks and have a nice day!

Hi candy, First of all for any reason I would not take beef knowingly. And as for pork this too was not permissible for my belly but once accidentally I took and now I take pork without any hesitation and I swear it really testes nicer than mutton.

Trying new food is ok for some. But I would never eat pork meat. I would still stick to it. If there is beef or chicken or fish, or vegetable that one I can eat, but I would skip on the pork meat. My family and I don't eat pork. So if ever we are traveling, we do order chicken or beef or vegetables to eat. Be it by plane, they ask you which one you would select. As long as nobody is forcing us to eat such food that we really don't eat, I am okey with that.

I eat anything that is well cooked. I would not be caught near a fast food chain save when I take my grandchildren on special ocations but I´m also teaching them to learn to eat a good meal. But even there, I will drink a soda or carbonated water while they fill themselves with those hamburgers. But I have tried (and liked) many types of different food. I have eaten frongs (chicken is better), goat, rabbit, and all sorts of birds. As for sauces and spices, they add zest to food. I have been very happy eating ethnic food from all oaround the world. Take care

lol, totally, i'd taste food i've never tasted before.......if its presented nicely haha...if the color looks weird, i'd prolly still try it, but close my eyes while i tasted it [= haha...i remember this one time my parents wanted me to try goat meat cooked in a certain way...and it was really good haha...so long as the food is in front of me, id eat it haha...just no spoiled food for me

Yes, I always like trying new foods...even the ones as a child I swore I wouldnt eat.....how do we know if we like it or not if we dont at least TRY it once??? I always swpre I wouldnt eat angus beef or lamb as a kid..but oh my goodness, I LOVE BOTH!!!!

Food is something that i like very much and i always like to try new dishes.

Hi Candy, that is a barbecued/roast pork, and I believe it must have tasted really good. I enjoy eating food from other countries, especially their local fares, and Thailand has really great food, especially their spicy tomyams. I like to try new dishes, except for strange stuff like ants, cockroaches, snakes and wildlife.

I will taste food that are relatedly new to me because I might not be able to taste it again next time perhaps and so to taste it for the sake of tasting it will not be a problem.If i see a food which i never tried I will give it a go for it will be a new experience for me.I could be enjoying perhaps.

Yes, I think I will try to eat and taste foods which I have seen for the first time only. But not those exotic food I think I cannot make it. I love to eat and taste everything and I think its a big experience on my part.

It is your first time experience about the food that tells you to either continue eating or gosh!! its enough !!!!!!....i had it in my mind that beef wouldnt taste gud but later when i had it ....i found it 2 be not so bad..... also my friends has a wide variety to choose from when we move into an restaraunt...that in way enticed me to try my first hand on the dishes that i havnt tasted!!!!!.......

Well as long as it is palatable and fit for human consumption i don't think there is any harm in trying new dishes out.....but i have sworm myself i will never get involved in acts where i have to taste rodents and insects as part of my meal......there are many places where you get to eat snakes, cockroaches and stuff.....but then yes if it is other things like you have just mentioned i would not hesitate to give it a try........I myself have done hotel management so i have taste a variety of food products, some people can make anything out of a simple preparation..........now that's innovation......and how well you do it is all that matters........
