When it comes to food: Try everything once. You never know if you like it if you never try it.
I’m not talking get a whole plate of the food, but just try a small bite.
Great advice, pre judging something is only hurting you. I don't get people who refuse to try, what really are you gaining? What is a few seconds to try something new vs a lifetime of missing out on your new favorite food? If you don't like it then drink a bit to wash the flavor out and move on!
My mother is especially bad at this. If it's not in a Midwest form she won't eat it. We went to an amazing dim sum place with her, we ordered dumplings, buns, vegetables, cuts of meat, everything. She ordered specifically chicken and noodle soup and only ate that, refusing to try anything else. I really pity her for not being able to even try anything.
Missing the real amazingness that is dim sum!
