Do you like trying new foods, or do you usually stick to what you already know you like?

Question

I went to Little Tokyo the other day and tried a fruit sandwich and a spicy salmon rice ball… not gonna lie, I was a tiny bit skeptical…

But I kind of loved the experience… do you like trying new foods, or do you usually stick to what you already know you like?

I do like trying lots of new things food I can be hard to get myself to get out of the things that I know I like maybe I just don’t like the idea of spending money on something that might make me feel queasy lol I have no desire to eat anything’s tongue I might eat it’s liver or heart lol I don’t care to try bugs or worms either or things you bury in the dirt for months and let it rot to perfection lol and I learned from Andrew Zimmerman I don’t think I want to try much anything native Alaskan 😂 if he says it grosses him out I think I will stay away from it 😂 no muk tuk for me or native ice cream haha 😆

I love seeking out different types of restaurants and trying new dishes. It's one of my favorite things.
I don't like eating the same thing all the time and will look for things on menus that I have never tried.

Okay, I don't like the taste of organ meat. I won't eat weird shit like eye balls or testicles or bugs, but I like all kinds of seafood.

My main thing is new flavors. And I like spicy food.

I rarely try anything new. For some reason, I just know I won't like it. I've been basically eating the same meals since I can remember. People always call me boring because of it lol

FreyaRed · Accepted Answer

Yes, however there is a lot of food I say 'no' like rice balls because I don't like ingredients of it.

I absolutely love trying new foods, that little spark of surprise is my favorite part of eating 🌶️🍣

Your fruit sandwich and spicy salmon onigiri adventure sounds perfect. Japanese fruit sando always reminds me of a tiny café in Tokyo where I first tried one with perfectly ripe strawberries and pillowy cream. Since then, I chase that feeling everywhere, from quirky street snacks to avant-garde tasting menus 😄

I tend to stick but, sometimes I'll experiment or try something I never had before. I always used to eat plain pizza until, one day, I was at a small party where pepperoni pizzas were ordered. I'd never had one before! But, I ate it and liked it and have been getting pepperoni ever since.
A few years ago, I got an idea to try to cook some kind of meat in a new bar-b-q sauce that just came out and mom and I loved it that way and had it several times after that but, I went to the store to buy a much bigger bottle of the sauce and completely forgot why!! I just can't remember what meat I cooked it in to this very day!!

Maybe_Maybe_not · Answer

Maybe not.

And maybe it's a cultural thing making me not so adventurous with food. Or perhaps I'm tossing convenient excuses for my lack of multicultural involvement.

It's also about cash, if I have to pay for new food then it kind of makes me chicken out, as if I'm anticipating frustration in losing some bucks, that's silly but that seems to be how I work, in this area

OneViewpoint · Answer

My mind is racing constantly. I get bored easily. I've lived all over the world my entire life. I'll give anything a try. Turtles, sheep eyes, monkey brain, calf brain, Rocky Mountain oysters, grasshoppers/locust, crickets, ants, snakes, alligator, bear, moose, elk, deer, breadfruit, mountain sorrel, skate, duck, Pidgeon, goose, conch, dog, tripe, kidney, liver, any vegetable, etc.

Massageman · Answer

If there are aren't weird ingredients or any definite "no-no's" (for any of various dietary or preferential reasons), I would probably give them a shot. I've had turtle soup in Hawaii (think slimy duck meat) and BBQ goat in Haiti (heavy on the BBQ sauce) and survived them both.

Iron_Man · Answer

I’ll try new foreign food as long as it’s very clean 100% certified, beef or chicken Or Turkey no Insects and no seafood involved. The desserts have to be clean to. I can’t stand liver and brains and kidneys and eye balls in my food and nasty insects that the foreigners like to make I’ve seen all these cooking shows and experience in foreign countries and they’re eating sheep, testicles, and things like that it’s absolutely disgusting to me

Phoenix98 · Answer

I like trying new foods for the most part one thing I like doing is going to different restaurants I've never been to before.

I've tried Italian food, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, French, Cajun and many others.

And I've eaten some pretty strange stuff pickled pigs feet, cow tongue, crawdaddies, liver etc.

queenofcardio · Answer

I have unusual food preferences because I’m a picky eater. There’s a lot I’m not willing to try. Part of me is still traumatized from trying certain foods and overanalyzing how much I didn’t like them. It became harder when I became pescatarian there are even more limitations. It’s much easier for me to eat at home or always have snacks with me.

ohsheeT · Answer

I do like what I like but any chance I have to try something new I do it. Sometimes I win and sometimes I should have stuck with what I like

It's just like life but I have to experience it to understand it to grow

But no matter how it turns out I will always try again or something new

Summeroflove · Answer

Yes I love trying new things. If it’s something absolutely disgusting the worst that can happen is that I never eat it again and can say I did it. There isn’t many foods I just outright hate or common foods at least there’s foods that are gross but that’s besides the point.

RandomGirl42 · Answer

I'm pretty much just a meat and potatoes kind of girl and not very adventurous with food. And I so wouldn't know whether to eat the Japanese Fruit Sandwich or hang it on the wall as art.

exitseven · Answer

I went through a period where I was ordering ll kinds of different food when I would go to a restaurant. I hated all of it. Now I just stick to steak, prime rib, burgers, fried seafood and a garden salad.

loveslongnails · Answer

I very much DO love trying new foods, wherever I go, whenever I can. However, I prefer knowing the source and what it's made from. For example, I will never eat casu marzu, a cheese made in Sardinia known for being infested with live maggots.

Nikki1989 · Answer

I will try anything at least once. However, I dislike more foods than I actually enjoy.

AviatorTom · Answer

I'll try anything once. My wife and I went out to dinner yesterday. She got her usual, like she always does. I tried something new... Turkey Meatloaf. It wasn't bad but I don't think I'll have it again.

jazzy34 · Answer

As a kid, I was an  extremely  picky eater. As an adult, I try new things all the time. 😊

Anonymous · Answer

Both.

I like trying new things. But I'm very much a creature of habit. So I pretty much go with the old reliable. And every now and again I get an itching to try something new. If I didn't do that I would never change, grow, and expand my horizons.

Xawyx-2 · Answer

I like trying new food, as long as it's suitable for vegetarians.  But I don't like mixing certain flavors.

lilBigPotato · Answer

I like trying new foods but I'm sticking to stuff that I think I'll like. If I'm skeptical or think it's a weird combination, I rather choose something I know that I'll like.

purplepoppy · Answer

Those fruit sandwiches are a good idea for a cake. Would work wonders as a fraisier.

I'll try something different but it can't be to hot or spicy.

Depends whether I am hungry or not. If hungry new foods are a risk so avoid and go for known foods.

Yes i do, but specific those, seem like ART correctly sold as fancy.

As long as I know the ingredients then I'm open to try it.

LC75LC71 · Answer

That depends a lot for me. I've had girlfriends wanting me to try all kids of veggie shit, which I always declined. I'd like to try sushi, but don't dig the idea of raw meat.
