Try Something New (33)

Sometimes it works out when you try something new. Today I had egg wrapped in bacon dipped in tempura. It was as delicious as it sounded.

Sometimes it doesn’t work out so well (not everything is going to be such a sure bet) – I once ate sheep stomach soup in Spain that I can never untaste.

I used to be, let’s say, very selective about what I would eat. Branching out of what I knew I liked just didn’t happen. It was a conscious effort to get over my preconceptions a lot of the time, and now many of the things you couldn’t have paid me to eat are some of my favourites.

Whether it’s food or travel (a topic for another post) or paragliding or something else, there is something innately exhilarating about not always doing things exactly as you always have. It truly is the only way to be an interesting person. And we owe it, not only to ourselves, but to those around us who we love to keep being an interesting person.
