Restaurants...try new dishes? Or stick with the old favorite.

oh,it is depend the person who has a dine with me.if my friends have a dinner,we can choose some new dishes.if my family number have adinner with me,we can choose some recommended dishes.

I love trying out new dishes on restaurants. However, it's different when I crave for something, when I long for a restaurant specialty or personal favorite. When I crave, then I stick to my old favorites and anticipate that I will be satisfied with the meal. But most of the time, I really prefer to try a new dish, usually out of curiosity.

When it comes to food I am not really that adventurous I stick to what I like best, I may have it done in different ways with different side dishes but usually I will order chicken! Steak I like but I do find no matter how you order it, medium, rare or well done they never get it right, I like my steak cremated, literally but the amount of times it has come onto my plate with blood in it, yuk! So I gave up. Chicken they can't really get wrong. Although having said that I tend to be more daring when I am at a chinese restaurant, where anything goes, especially with the eat as much as you like buffet, you can try everything. The only thing I don't touch is lamb or seafood (apart from prawns)

I love to try new dishes and for that reason we tend to go to ethnic restaurants when we go out. After all I can eat the same old stuff at home.

Hi Karen.....we don't dine out to much but when we do I always like to order something I wouldn't make at home. I am sorta picky about what I eat as there are alot of meats and seafoods that I do not like and therefore would not want any dishes that included those ingredients. My husband and I love to eat at Applebees because I love their hot bacon dressing they have forsalads. It is to die for and I get it everytime I go there. I have tried to make the dressing myself but it just doesn't taste the same. Gosh now I have gone and made myself hungry...lol flutterby

its always nice to stick to it but that is what is meant by favorite. . but i suggest that if you have extra, to try new ones. that way you can add something to your favorites. ann

It all depends upon the company and the mood. Most times, when you order in a restaurant, the servings are meant for two people. If my co-diner wants to be adventurous, well, then so do I. While eating alone, it depends upon my mood. A digression ..... I love cooking and trying out new things, so at home when I want to taste something new, I ask my wife to step out of the kitchen and I prepare the meal for the family-this is maybe dinnertime or weekends, once or twice a week. Happy to say that there have been no complaints so far, and by the time I am through with the cooking, there is sometimes very little of the food left for me.....

It depends on my mood and desires at the time really. I'm pretty adventurous when it comes to food and do like to try new things at every opportunity, but if there's a particular dish that I've enjoyed before, sometimes I'll go for it again. More times than not though, when I'm at a restaurant, I mix things up and go for something different each time. Fast food is where I usually stick to the things I've had before.

Hi Karen! If I am going to a restaurant with my family, I would prefer to stick with the old favourite, instead of trying a new one because if my family does not like the new one, they will put the entire blame on me..........LOL!. It is, therefore, I do not take chances. If I am with my friends, then I may do some experiments and friends won't take it otherwise, if the new restaurant does not happen to be of our choice or the food/service is not so good.

If it's my first visit to that restaurant, I'd most probably order something safe like if it's an Italian restaurant I'd go for Carbonara or Spaghetti cos we know we can't go wrong with 'em. If it's a restaurant that I go to a lot, I'd try out different food items in the menu. That's what I do most of the time but sometimes of course, I stick with my favorites.

I always like to try new dishes, and I like the fact that we do not get it similar at home so better to eat them in the restaurants, even my boyfriend like this.

there are restaurants I stick to,especially if I really love the food there.I am also adventurous with my food.I love trying out different restaurants.I love tasting different specialties.
