I am not a choosy person when it comes to trying new food. The only thing that I need is to know how the meals are being cooked. If I feel like it, then I will go for it. I cannot afford to get sick because of it. It is best to consider it to be safer than being hospitalized. It would be a hassle to deal with the hospital bill. Are there any unusual food combinations that you like? Image Credit: agoda.com

I am also choosy as I am vegetarian! So my options are limited to experiment! Also, what if I donot like it, it would be a waste! So I do not experiment much unless I have a good companion who can eat anything!

I can understand where it is coming from. I am not a vegan. but I try my best to eat a well-balanced diet. If ever I am going to eat any meat, I will remove the fats before consuming them.

@Shavkat Being a vegan, it is very difficult or hard to have a balanced diet!

@anya12adwi I think there are some alternatives, right? Unless if they want to have fish meat.

I have also the same notion. I can try it once and no need to try again next time.

I´m adventurous, but only within limits. I could try almost anything at a good restaurant. But I will not enter a fast food chain. And many years ago my husband warned me against those restaurants with no customers. If the food is good they will not be empty, no matter how expensive.

I guess your husband is right. Besides, it is not healthy to eat in fast food chains. We seldom order foods with these chains, especially during the pandemic.

I'm willing to try food in an well established restaurant. (I know better than to eat in a newly opened restaurant, no matter what other people say about the food/service there. Too many stories about people getting food poisoning because new cooks/staff don't cook food to the correct temperature or the food is undercooked.) I will also try new-to-me food cooked by friends at home. Visits to the hospital are never on my to-do list if I can help it.

Speaking of hospital foods, I am not into them. In the past, when I was hospitalized, I never dared to eat them. I ask to buy outside the hospital facility.

@Shavkat Buying outside the hospital isn't usually allowed unless you can get a family member to bring the food in to you and it has to be approved by the doctor or nurse before you can eat it. When I was in the hospital last week, I just went hungry the two days I was there. (The doctor told me he'd added glucose to the IV and they didn't want me to eat outside food because I was in the hospital for a severe allergic reaction.) We don't know what caused the allergic reaction.

i don't like when people mix different kind of meats on the plate and i think i'm choosy or rather, i like the same food since i was a child. i add something new once in a while and, as you said, i don't like the risk of getting sick.

There are some local dishes that we mixed meats in it. I guess it depends on how they were cooked. We really need to be vigilant not to eat certain delicacies.

I am adventurous within reason, but I know what I like, and am not really likely to buy food that I might not like..especially in a restaurant where prices are high. I don't like unusual food combinations.

Speaking of high prices, I am sure that they cannot be bought by me. I am into economical way of living at present.

That is really a weird combo. I sometimes do it, but not that often.
