Do you taste food from other places, no matter how different...

I awlays to do that, and for two reasons. One is to make myself socialable to the host by accepting anything that is offered to me. That I do this idea to be nice to people and I do not to upset by rejecting what is offered so I take and eat whatever is offered to me. Sometimes, I get stomach upset after eating food that I am not fimilar with. I remember once, I was offered an Indian dish with a lot of chilli and after I went home, I drank, I think a bucket of water to cool the hot chillie in my tammy. Second, I am may a gluttonist, I can not say no to food offered to me. I always want to eat.

I remember when I was in college I had a Japanese dorm mate. Her parents in Japan would mail her seaweed and noodles on a weekly basis and she would make soup out of it. She asked if I wanted a bowl and I said yes. It was absolutely delicious! Now, many, many years later in California I happened to find a Japanese restaurant in the neighborhood I was living in at the time and discovered that it made seaweed soup! I was so excited! I like to go there regularly to order my huge bowl of seaweed soup! Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

I'm pretty conservative, but I am willing to try different foods - to a point I tried sushi, didn't like it; tried caviar, didn't like that either... I do like venison, rabbit, buffalo and I grew up eating lamb - something down here in the south, can be hard to find - all those sheep hating "cowboys" I guess...

we get tongue here too. it is usually sold as a sliced sandwich meat. when i ate meat i quite liked it and can't see how it is any more revolting than any other meat. anyway there are plenty of foods sold here that are not sold elsewhere and might well turn some stomachs. black pudding, haggis, brains used to be sold as a potted meat - don't know if they still are, then you have brilliant things like deep fried pizza. which is truly disgusting. anyway if i am travelling i usually eat what is available, although some things might make me squeamish.

I enjoy trying different foods and different preparations from various countries. I do not try anything untoward or too unusual. The most unusual foods I eat are liver, kidneys, and gizzards. My children do not approve.

Different cultures have different recipies and if you are a lover of food then in my opinion you should try out things that you can. The limitations come because of several reasons - 1. Fact you are a vegetarian - you cannot realize the taste of nicely prepared non-vegetarian items. 2. Religion - Several religions forbid eating specific food and this way you miss out on these 3. Ingredients availability - This is the major problem and hurdle no matter what kind of eater you are. Even if these constraints apply, if you are a food lover, you can still try out dishes that you can eat. I have tried several ones and am happy that I have liked them mostly.

Mostly I do. The only thing I really won't do is eat something that's still moving....

I am willing to taste new foods but there are certain things that I will certainly pass on like tongue (LOL)! Snails are another dish I would not touch, along with liver, brains, rabbit, oysters and tripe to name a few. I don’t mind new recipes but some foods can be a real problem for me. I guess you could say I am conservative with my meals!

I can have any type of vegetarian food but not non-veg..!! Oh my god..!! you eat so much hell of non-veg...!! I dont touch non-veg because i remember a small quote whenever i wanted to touch non-veg...!! " When you are having NOn-Veg its nothing but you are maintaining a burial ground inside your body" Hope you got me....!! So i do not....!!!! coming to veg any dish im ready

i dont take cow,snake,or dog food and i also hate to take those. so if i want to take any other countries food,i will avoid to take that above foods i told. i will try fish,chicken items if they are other countries items also. i am indian and now staying here in kuwait now. here i tried one arabic bread called kubus and its like indian roti. here in this place all the non veg foods are less spicy and so i tried them most times.

Love to eat and cook foods from other countries. It is harder to cook he foods from some countries though as I cannot always find the ingredients to do so in our little backwoods area.

yes it is worth a try because you gonna go there ones in a lifetime and it might not happen again so grab it.

We only live here on earth once. That is why I'll try anything as long as edible. Frog's legs is on top of the list, next is snake which by the is known to be an aphrodisiac. Bugs is also good, I wish i could eat ants but you'll need more than a cupful before you'll realize that it has a bitter taste.

I like to taste food from other places. I'm very much interested in tasting other state food.

I've always said I'll try anything once. I've seen cow's tongue in the grocery store but never had the desire to bring one home to cook. That's probably because it looks so much like a tongue! I can eat beef liver and chicken gizzards but the liver is already cut up and the gizzards, well, they just don't look like anything I've seen on a human or other animal. I guess what I'm saying is that if I can recognize it, I don't want to eat it. I've tried frog's legs and octopus, both in a Chinese restaurant. I wasn't too keen on trying them because they looked like what they were but I thought I'd give them a chance. The frog's legs taste very much like chicken so, if I want that taste, I'll eat chicken. The octopus, well, it was just creepy. Very chewy and tough. I'll stick to shrimp, crabs and scallops. I had a boyfriend, way back in my teen years, who was a bad boy and got sent to a juvenile detention center for 4 years. He told me that, when he got out, he would ask me one question and, if I said yes, he'd take me to Oklahoma (where he came from) and teach me to cook rattlesnakes. Now, I'm sure rattlesnakes taste just fine but they're not something I'd order or bring home to cook. (BTW, he did call me 4 years later but didn't ask me that question, thankfully. I had another boyfriend by then and didn't want to learn how to cook rattlesnakes.) If it's not something that bites back, like hot, spicy food, I'll try it at least once. Well, maybe not dog. I love dogs... as pets, not on my dinnerplate!

I would like to taste other country's food. I was watching this movie last week and IO got interested in Chinese street food. They had scorpions on barbeque and other stuff in there but I am not sure if they ever taste good. I also got interested in one of the food they have in Korea and its eating a live octopus.

I'd really like to taste different foods especially if it is from other country because they say foods speaks the character of the people living in that country. However, there are foods here in the Philippines that is very hard for me to taste these are "exotic foods". My parents have eaten snakes, frogs, tree worm, and crickets. I have never tasted these because I don't like to. In the other way, I like to eat different cuisine from Thailand, South Korea, Chinese and Japanese foods.

I don't taste much because I am vegetarian.First I look or ask what other had prepared.I love snakes and noodles.I really love Chain's food.
