I just overheard a coworker saying “Oh, I would never try that in my life!”, in a discussion of food. (This was about consuming a steak cooked less than medium well). It made me wonder what life is like for those who refuse to try new food, especially those who refuse to try mundane things like fried shrimp.
Why limit yourself? It seems like such a closed-minded way to view food. Help me understand?
I don’t know why some kinds of flavour taste bad in my opinion. I wouldn’t want to eat something that I’ve already tasted to taste bad, but I’m generally open to things I don’t know (unless they sound disgusting, which is mostly reserved to mold (cheese) and bugs that weren’t prepared abstractly enough, as opposed to shrimp for example.
