    I will fearlessly try almost anything. I even discovered that I like the taste of scorpion and the taste of african giant ants this way. I figure that when I'm old, grey (well more grey than now Paul) and look back over my life and the things I have done I don't want there to be many things I regret. Or if I regret doing them at least I can say "Well I damn well tried it at least! Better than most could say"

    I'll try most food-things at least once.

    See Pike, this is a fine example of when to turn down eating something new. I had balut once and let me tell you, it's not very pleasant. I still can't believe you would turn down bison burgers.
    Is balut that "delicacy" of a soft boiled duck egg with a half formed phetus inside of it? Because, sweet jebus.
    That's the one.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    I'm a vegetarian and lactose intolerant so being adventurous is kind of out of the question. I like to play things safe with anything I eat though, but that's more to do with being an incredibly fussy eater despite my already limited palette

    I'm also lactose intolerant, as well as gluten intolerant, and possibly peanut intolerant. Individually, such ingredients give me mild reactions. Combined, I'm sick all night.

    I'll still try anything once (usually, I neglect to check first if there is lactose or gluten whereas I assume most things don't have peanut).
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    I can't really think of anything I've turned down. Smell is an important part of eating, so I'll at least smell it first.

    Bison is okay. Reindeer is better.

    Reindeer?! Does it taste anything like reg'la deer? Which is DELICIOUS, btdubs.

    I dunno if I would eat balut. Like Shlup, the smell of something is important to my ability to eat it. I hate the smell of mustard based potato salads. And coleslaw. And both foods make me gag something fierce.

    Oddly enough I hate mango but enjoy the smell.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    I feel that way about coffee. Mango does smell better than it tastes though.

    I've only had regular deer in jerky form.

    I went food shopping with my housemate today and we walked through the wild-game meat section and I was just like "I want so much of this meat!"

    If I'm at a restaurant, most of the time no, I am not adventurous. I find one thing I like and stick with it unless someone pressures me to try something else that they like.

    Once in a while, though, I go crazy and just pick ANYTHING. I call them Wild Card Tuesdays, and they happen about once every three months.
