I think it is important to keep trying new things. Some things I may not like, but I'll never know until I try them. For a cook, I'm pretty unadventurous when it comes to food. Though I seldom seek out the exotic, when new flavors present themselves, I'll squeeze shut my eyes and give it a taste. All new foods will just be one New Thing, though, to push me to try New Things in other areas.

New foods I have recently sampled:
fried oysters (pretty good)
halibut (not bad)
fresh fig (delicious, even better than in Newton form)
I think there was something else, but I forgot what it was.

Anyone else tried new foods lately?
