So many times did you have a chat after? You’re trying to persuade someone to do it, and they’re saying “No, I don’t like it.” You’re telling them how many times they’ve really done that thing and finally, they say they’ve never done it, but still maintain that they think they don’t want to. That’s how many of us act when it comes to food and especially safe food.
The basic truth about eating healthily is that you need to extend your repertoire a little bit. Most of us are going to be bellyache trying a new meal because we like what we’re used to.
The items we’ve consumed for years have once been new to us too, and the problem is one of being locked in our ways. You can get to know variety better if you try something different every once in a while, and choose the new stuff you really want.
There is no point in slamming your head against a wall of bricks trying to cultivate a taste for something you don’t want. You’ll never know if you like it, though, until you actually try it. It is particularly true about foreign cuisine. It may look different because it is consumed daily by millions of people, so it can hardly be harmful. It’s not going to be your death to take a leap of faith and try another meal, so why not try something new once a week and surprise yourself with how much you enjoy it?
