Two was I was trying to do something totally out of my comfort zone. This was a small thing, so maybe I can work up to something big--like my fear of heights.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-42558873768077528392016-03-29T18:06:03.206-04:002016-03-29T18:06:03.206-04:00I didn't think I was a picky eater until I rea...I didn't think I was a picky eater until I read the list of foods you had to choose from, there were only a couple I would have been willing to try.

I said he hadn't just had the right ones. I served him ones right out of the ground, sweet as can be, and he still says they taste like dirt. It's interesting how we all have different taste buds.<br /><br />You have good advice on how to eat a meal from a different culture. I tend to eat very light anyway because I eat a little all day long. But this time, I was trying to be more daring and try more things, so I filled up pretty fast.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-52506019845757496332016-03-22T14:41:46.218-04:002016-03-22T14:41:46.218-04:00Sounds like a massive amount of food.

If I am still hungry at the end of the meal I can always eat something when I get home vs. being miserably full.<br /> I will eat almost anything except beets, fresh bananas (its a texture issue) and liver( Ok i don't do offal of any kind), even though there are things I am not fond of I can still eat them. <br />Cavier__Meh! A little goes a long way and no one ever has to serve it to impress me. If it is part of a canape I will eat it, but I never go out of my way to add it to anything.

I pushed to go out of my comfort zone to taste it and I'm glad I did. Not because I liked it, but because I made the effort and tried it. Sometimes it's the small things.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-59254112080086060772016-03-22T12:58:46.389-04:002016-03-22T12:58:46.389-04:00Kudos to you!

I'm like you--I don't think of myself as a picky eater, but some foods (caviar would be among them) just don't appeal to me and I would have to make a conscious effort to try them. The party sounds fun and like a wonderful cultural experience! Krisnoreply@blogger.com
