What’s something new you tried recently that ended up being really good?

Question

So.. Im someone who loves trying new foods and discovering things I’ve never had before, although I definitely have my favorites too. So I’m curious…what’s something new you tried recently that ended up being really good? It could be a dish, snack, dessert, drink, or even a food combination you didn’t expect to like. Would you have it again?

Recently I tried a Japanese-Italian mashup that surprised me: mentaiko carbonara spaghetti 🍝🇯🇵

Creamy egg yolk, parmesan, and pancetta like classic Roman carbonara, but with spicy cod roe mixed in and nori strips on top. The sauce was silky, salty, and gently spicy, with that ocean umami I love from Japanese food.

I’d absolutely order it again, especially with a cold glass of dry white wine. 🥂

I love trying new things every chance I get. When I lived in Los Angeles, there were all kinds of ethnic restaurants.

Where I live now there isn't as much variety but, a while back, I found a food truck that had Mexican-Korean fusion. It was amazing.

Recently, I ordered a burrito and chose chorizo for the meat. I liked that a lot.

A while back, I discovered Gochujang sauce. It's a Korean hot sauce that I now use when I make Mexican food at home. It is not vinegary and it is thicker than typical hot sauces.

Milk straight from the cow.

I grew up eating fruits and veg store bought but it wasn't until I started hanging out with my wife's people who farm organically that I realised how good like say tomatoes, how different they are naturally grown. Like the tomatoes I grew up eating were basically tasteless and mostly water, these tomatoes and of different colours are so good you could just eat them by themselves. Not just the tomatoes but hen eggs, double yoked eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs. Onions. Its no wonder my grandparents always complained that food tastes of nothing anymore and thats whh everyone needs to take vitamins supplements. They dont season anything that much and everything tastes of pure natural flavour.

I started growing our own stuff at home and raising chickens and ducks for egss and meat. And my own fish. Best thing I ever did, works out very cheap and I've never been healthier. Started hunting and fishing as well for wild meat. Growing tomatoes, onions, peppers, carrots l, strawberries you name it.

When it comes to foods, I'm not too explorative. I've explored enough and I've found my favourites. I'm the type that knows exactly what I'm getting when I go out or have a pretty damn good idea about it. If I go to an Italian restaurant, I'm getting a linguine pasta, either mushroom, Alfredo, or a rosé sauce. If I go to a thai restaurant, I'm getting either a chicken fried rice or chicken pad thai flavoured with either lemongrass, basil, ginger, or peanut sauce, and make em kinda spicy. If I go for shawarma, I go for chicken, tomatoes, a few turnips, tons of tabouleh, and tons of tzatziki and a little hot sauce. For burgers, it's the same. I know what I want for them to the tee. And other than salmon, tuna, and sardines, I don't like seafood.

So honestly, I haven't tried anything recently that I can think of, nor do I have much of a desire to.

Sadly, I don't remember! I wish I did!! About a decade ago, I got an idea to cook some kind of meat in a pot of Islay's bar-b-que sauce and mom & I thought it was REALLY good and we had it a few more times after that! One day, I saw that there were large bottles of the sauce so, I bought one so I wouldn't have to keep running to the store to buy another bottle every time I wanted to make this and as soon as I did, I forgot what kind of meat I used and have still not been able to remember what it was!!

I was feeling cheeky so I had my waitress at this restaurant I frequent make me a random cocktail because they ran out of the beer I normally get. And she made something called liquid marihuana had like 3 different rums in it and it tasted like a limeade couldn't taste the alchohol.

It was quite refreshing and good a little to good honestly dangerous in the same way a long island ice tea is.

Recently I tried a pizza recipe which is done in a pan instead of an oven and it has yoghurt in the mix. It's incredibly light and so so tasty. It's so good that I haven't stopped making it since the first time and it's become a staple to my weekly menu.

The most recent thing I can think of is crushing pistachios and sprinkling them on top of chocolate ice cream. Or buying the fresh mango salsa from Albertsons/Vons/Pavilions and putting it in my small blender with seasoned salt and a habanero pepper or 2

Rodenbach Classic Ale -- a sour Belgian ale. I didn't think I liked sour ales. I thought I had ordered a different ale with a similar name, but was received the Rodenbach. It's now my favorite beer.

Gravel cycling with an Egravel bike. It's something that lets you "do" the hard bits of mountain biking on a bike that's much faster than a mountain bike

This one bagged salad (no head lettuce) looked weird, but was really fairly good. Dressing was nice - coordinated well.
