Going to a new place means new experiences, new environment, new people and of course expect some new types of foods. Hence, when i go to a new place i would really ask for their specialty. When they have , i will try them myself to prove if it's as delicious as they say it is!

Hi, when I'm in a new place or restaurant, I always make it a point to ask what is the specialty of the house, or what is this place famous for or what is here that people tend to come back then I order that food provided I can afford it. I also have no problem in trying out anything especially foreign and exotic food or something new to my taste.![](/Content/images/emotes/thumbup.gif)

Yeah agree with you that more delicious food are spreaded around the world based on various culture and traditional food. Like here in Middle East where I worked for 16 years, I have to adjust myself to accept their cultural food not for every day food but for seldom occation. In the first take may be difficult to take but later on you can say good and very delicious.. So I eat Indian, pakistani, saudi even in other asian countries. see you around

hi jricky1,
Well you can always ask the chef or the waiter what kind of food you are going to try, for me i want to try different kinds of food but i don't go for an exotic one.
It is important to we will have an idea which food we are going to try so we can avoid allergies and other matters.
happy posting

There's no harm in trying other foreign foods, it's better that way because you can tastes different gourmet with different flavor. If you don't like it for the first time, then, at least you experienced eating that food. Be flexible in eating foods, so that you can compare which is best in the whole world.

Hi Dear Jricky ! I think it is one of the thing one definitely should do when visiting a new place. Every place is famous for one or other local dish prepared there. I would definitely would like to try any new dish so long it is not too hot pr spicy and it is not including the ingredients which I don't eat.
The regular or routine dishes can be eaten any where ,to eat this type of dishes we need not visit some new place. So the logical thing is to try the new local dish to have the change and also to have an idea about the type or way of cooking done by the people of that region!
For instance you have specially made fish available in West Bengal, Goa and Kerala.Biryani is famous in Hyderabad and Lucknow, Trying a new dishes which I never heard before may some times give a pleasant surprise and often we are left with a happy mood and pleased palate after having such food!
Thanks for the discussion , enjoyed the participating just like having a new food at new place ! Thanks ! LOL !

It depends, first of all it has to be clean food, which means food my Creator deems ok for my body. Secondly, I don't eat liver or brains or tongue, so even if it was ok to eat, I don't think I want to try it. Also, if it has green peppers, I need to know because for some reason the green ones irritate my stomach. Other than that, sure..:)

of course! especially if I am in holiday and in new country or place that I have never visited before. I think it is good to try something new, as long as the food is not very very weird. Luckily I can eat any kind of food and don't have any restrictions of what kind of food I allow to eat.

hello j,
Yes,that's the first thing i do when i feel hungry to a new place that i am going to visit,asks the best food.
Of course i would asks the ingredients or what the food is compose of,and then try.
That's one way to know the place ...how foods tastes.
Have a great Sunday![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

No, I do not try out food I do not know very well as I'm a very picky person when it comes to food. For example,I do not eat anything that swims in water. I don't like duck,fish shrimps, prawns, lobsters and mussels. I do not like foreign fruits, vegetables and just too many things to mention them all. So when I'm in a foreign country I usually have a hard time finding things I like to eat..lol..

I think it comes with the itinerary to try the food in a new place. It's like the extension of the adventure with the new surroundings - apart from meeting new people and experience new things. I usually do this even if I stay for in a new place in ahort span of time. At first, I would stick to the familiar but I pick up my pace and start with the wild and the untested.
