Are You an Adventurous Eater?

[Fluttershutter 2,529]

I love to try new things but most of my family is so boring, always eating the same things.

[Early Sunsets 2,107]

Not especially. I tend to get the same thing every time I go to a restaurant, though I have tried new things the past couple times I've been to one.

[Cagey 4,248]

I’m perfectly happy eating the same things every day—eggs, sandwich, pasta, repeat—but when my cousin visited this past summer, she insisted on eating something different every day. Every meal was a struggle to find, order, and have her enjoy, but I was fine with eating whatever she wanted us to get.

Oh yeah.   I may not like it, but I’m always down to try new food. 
 

Ive even eaten a hummus like dip that was made from crickets.  Was pretty good tbh. 

[SharpWit 2,708]

If I don't have the slightest idea what it is or could be like and it doesn't look gross, I'll give it a go. Most things I can get a grasp of pretty quickly from having watched a lot of cooking shows, and I'm a picky eater so there's a good chance I'll decline to try something if I've experienced those flavors negatively in a other setting. But new fruits, vegetables, and meats on their own I'm game for.

Update: My girlfriend says I'm not an adventurous eater because I never like the new things I try

Not really. By tradition everyone should try at least once roasted cricket tacos but I'm not that adventurous. Nor to drink pulque if it's true how it's the fermentation process. Normally I just try safe good looking things, the most adventurous I've been is eat octopus and frog.

I know what I like but I'll try anything once~!

[cmarston1 5,959]

Not really.  I have always been a bit of a picky eater.  I may have gotten a bit better over the years, but I'm still not someone who is very keen on trying new foods.

[ExplosionMare 18,085]

I’m a bit of an excessive eater but I’m not too adventurous. I try new things on occasion though.

[EpicEnergy 23,224]

I'm kinda adventurous, I like trying new flavors.

No not at all, I have a very narrow view of what I want to eat and what I don't. I don't eat meat, I don't eat vegetables either.

 

It's really kind of hard to find new things to eat these days.

A while ago I was really excited to try Ethiopian food. I really liked it but the restaurant is far away from me. 

I tried some toasted ants once and didn't like them. Insects are basically just shell around some guts. But I'd try the crickety things if I could get them around here.

I'd love to try goose for the holidays but my family.

A little. I used to be when I was little, and that helped me to be less picky today.

[Envy 6,192]

Absolutely not, I have a bad gag reflex that oftentimes prevents me from eating foods I like. With other foods I can tell right off the bat at this point whether that's going to happen or not, and thus I don't even try them.

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

Not really. I usually just stick to stuff I already like.

[Splashee 28,566]

I have noticed that people that cannot eat onions cannot eat anything new or adventurous, ever. Am I right? As a child, it is important to get fed an onion early in life so that they can enjoy all exotic food in their future

My real name is Onion Splash, and I love to eat any kinds of onions! You can call me Splashee though

I like to try new dishes. Eating the same old thing all the time is boring and I don't enjoy food that doesn't interest me or engage my imagination. If it's ordinary it's nothing more to me than a necessary exercise to maintain life. I especially prefer Asian cuisine for it's diversity and constant surprises.

[SparklingSquirrels 21,354]

Sometimes! I don’t really like meat dishes but I will try most vegetarian dishes. Though I do like snails and octopus  

[Yoshi89 5,293]

Yes and no. I usually order the same items from menus but if there's something that really intrigues me, I'll try it out.

[Will Guide 21,362]

Only when I'm a giant monster trying to find some heroes to much on. LOL

But seriously I'm a picky eater

[Tom Gallagher 33,595]

I’m not a particularly adventurous eater because I’m afraid of trying new things. 

[Splashee 28,566]

I stopped eating stuff after I accidentally swallowed an insect

[Dreambiscuit 10,091]

Yes, I love to try new things, even if they look bad or smell bad. Adventure comes in all shapes and sizes, and that includes the world of food. If it’s outside the comfort zone it immediately gains bonus points because it becomes memorable and interesting. If it’s too spicy I remember the pain. If it’s disgusting I remember the discomfort in trying to get it down at all. If it’s yummy I have found a new culinary fixture to expand my repertoire. Anything can be ordinary, and where’s the fun in that? It may not make me nauseous or uncomfortable, but it’s boring. And boring is not something I strive to add to my menu.
