I love new restaurants, foods, recipes, dishes, spices and I do my best to have at least a new one every month in each category!
The easiest new things to have are found in grocery stores and in Fort Lauderdale we have many speciality stores from countries all over the world just as you wouldn't be able to find a country that isn't represented by a restaurant or a dozen or more restaurants providing dining experiences like Thai, Japanese, Mexican, Cuban, Peruvian, Brazilian, African, Spanish, Chinese, Italian, Greek, Filipino, Indian, Far Eastern, Israel, German, French, Vietnam, etc., etc.
We have practically every food franchise and variations of the same from 16 different burger places to enough Mexican restaurants to feed every Mexican!
There isn't a spice in the world that you won't find here or, for that matter any food you need to make a sauce, soup or main course. Desserts? Name one and I will take you to a place you can find it.
Above are just some of the new foods, spices, salsas, soups, one or two items that had no English on them with some like the cream of Asparagus soup that was all in Spanish or what I think is a spice with only what looks like Chinese characters on it.
By the way that black bean salsa is a winner!
What's the newest item you have used and/or tasted?

@GreatMartin I like trying new places to eat but my income is very limited so I rarely get to do it

It sounds like lots of different countries food is sold in Fort Lauderdale. I live in England and I eat a vegan diet. My two children are vegetarian. We like to buy food from supermarkets and do self catering. I buy my children fries quite often from fast food restaurants. We got given a meal each on a train in Egypt. We had to go full board on our Indian safari. I tasted passion fruit in Australia and Indonesia. It is such a lovely fruit to eat.

Im also a foodie because of my girlfriend she tries new recipes from time to time and also loves baking. Problem is Im not that good of a cook and all I do is eat the food she cooks lol. She bakes cupcakes, revel bars, and other pastries. She is also a pasta lover and tries different things with her pasta dishes.

I am a great cook (he says modestly) but have slowed down a lot from entertaining by giving dinner parties for 10-20 people and trying out new dishes for them!

My friend Jack...Jack Benny, not Jack Nicholson. They're both actors and people get them confused all the time...has been telling me about a new cereal called Grape Nuts. He even talks about it on his radio show. I've been meaning to try it but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

@GreatMartin I could give you a bunch of titles, but you're way too young to remember them.
