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?
Ha, I’ve enjoyed exactly one oyster because it tasted like briny spite instead of the usual mud. Went with friends to go clamming, didn’t find a damn thing we could keep except a single legal size oyster I cracked open with a rock (because I didn’t bring a knife because I don’t like oysters) and sucked down to salvage some sense of accomplishment. It helped.
