How daring are your eating habits?

I know when I was in China, I did try foods that I normally wouldn't try in America. I guess it had more to do with the fact that I didn't have a choice. If I didn't eat Chinese food, I wouldn't eat at all because it was fairly difficult to find western food without paying a western price for it. The only thing I would stay away from were the really hot spicy foods. I did discover a number of new tastes and I would often go to the same places many times. Oh, and I agree. I will not eat cockroaches either.

I am a gretaer eater, I eat anything that is put before me. I like especially the Asian food perferrentially Indian, though hot, very tasty.

I do admit to being VERY adventurous when in comes to consumbables...BUT very, very reticent to expand consuming to "insects" of any form! Altho, I do remember as a kid, playing a game of survival, and trying sugar ants. I think that one indulgence abruptly halted my insect consumption. But when it comes to "foreign to me" foods, I am pretty open, and do like to try the foods, common to the country that I visit. And as for "Wasabi"...can't get enough of it, and finally found a market that sells the truly GOOD HOT stuff! Funny, that you should mention it...as I grow regular horseradish, and this year thought I would try growing the root that they use for Wasabi.

I'm open to tring new food but I won't eat any meats besides beef, chicken, pork, duck and fish. I eat seafood as well. I don't think I'm dare to try insects, I think it is gross whether it tastes good or not...

hi marguicha^^; i love trying new delicacies and specialties of different countries. when i see a country's restaurant, i in a way have to try what they have in there. turskish, greek, spanish, mexican, indian and so on. Chinese food? i've eaten a lot of them but hey not those roaches, bugs and rats cut and cooked like chicken....arrgghh! i like "sashimi" too (fresh cuts of fish) dipped in "wasabe" and soy sauce. i also have tried the japanese fresh/raw beef strips (eaten like sashimi). Now i eat "kimchi" (Korean pickled cabbage). if you like spicy, well, you can try this since it is an acquired taste to liken it. It is ranked as one of the most nutritious food because of the lactobacilli content like those in yogurt.

I use to be very open to all foods. I still am to some extent. Where I lived people were very conservative with their foods so people would look at what I eat and gag! They couldn't handle sushi, sashimi, even shrimp! Being experimental, you learn the hard way what you can't eat! I only found out as a teenager that I was allergic to mussels and olives. That was the worst feeling of my life, so now I'm not as extroverted with food. I still love eating a wide variety - thai and indian food are my favorites.

not daring.. not at all! I am not thee kind of person that would try something unusual.. no excotic foods.. but "new things or recipes" that are made of common ingredients.. sometimes i give them a try especially if they are suggested by friends... hehe

You smuggler you! LOL... I don't blame you I would have done the same. I am all for seasoning and spices to spice up food anytime. Although I must admit that I am not very daring with certain foods. Like anything I know that is a pet I will not eat. Like goat, lamb, frogs, rabbit, etc.. I won't even dare try it and certainly not cockroaches, lol
