Action 089 - Taste It First. Used to be, I wouldn't eat pickles, bell peppers, mustard, broccoli... the list goes on and on. Either I tried those things as a child and didn't like them, or I just knew from the look and smell that they would be horrible.
These days, I find that my taste buds have changed and some of the awful things aren't awful at all. So I'm keeping that in mind when I find myself offered something that I usually don't eat. Maybe it's a restaurant offering an eggplant dish or a friend cooking an unusual fish. Whatever the opportunity, I am finally wise enough to at least taste the item and give it a chance.
Who knows what my new favorite food might be?

What kind of heathen are you???? You don't like tomatoes?? Asparagus??? Mushrooms??? (I'll give you a pass on olives!)
ReplyDeleteI make a damn good shrimp 'n' grits! That photo makes me want more... If it makes you feel better, I go through tomato phases. Some days I like 'em, some days I don't. ;-)
