Don't knock it til ya try it...

so many things I've always said I'd never eat... or have any desire to do... and I'm now sitting here feeling like a hypocrite...

Tonight I turned down an invitation to go see Borat... I'm wondering if I'm really missing something... I suppose I should have gone...

Someone else talked about eating snails today and I immediately made a gross out face... ewww... the other thing today was the padawan and I had some Bernie Bott Every Flavor Beans... I wouldn't try any of them in case I got one of the yucky ones... even if I know in my heart of hearts that the ingredients are exactly the same as my favorite Jelly Belly.

Some things I try and I'm satisfied that I tried them once and either liked, or disliked, or remained ambivalent...

Skydiving was great... but I never need to do it again...

Hot & Sour soup??? I try it at least twice a year and still hate it...

I used to hate anything fishy... what's the point of eating healthy seafood when there are chicken fingers and mozzarella sticks to enjoy?? Last night, the Jedi & I shared a Giant Shrimp Cocktail, and I loved every bite of it...

Red meat was something that I thought was gross for most of my life... yet today I'll order a steak or prime rib rare and savor every bite of it with a dab of horseradish...

That's another thing... I've always said I "don't do" spicy foods... horseradish, mustard's, wasabi, salsas... but now I mix a little into every meal somehow...

Speaking of wasabi... sushi was something I thought I'd go my entire life never eating... but I went to lunch a year ago (almost exactly) with some "Big Wigs" at work, and they ordered for the entire table... next thing you know I'm eating raw fish and rice... two things I just never order...

there's a lot more to my point... but i'll have to go back and elaborate more later...
