I'm of the mentality that you should try something at least once before deciding you don't like it. I put this to the test while I was in China. And I'm fairly pleased to say that out of all the chicken hearts, bullfrog legs, durian pizza, duck duodenum (??), and other mystery items on the menu, I only balked at the rabbit heads.
I love food. When I find a dish I like, I can put away food just as good as a football linebacker. I try not to be a picky eater, although celery really does try my patience. There are a couple other things that I'm not fond of, but I will at least give the good ol' college try. This attitude is important for me, because when you travel to a new country, you often get chucked into a new food culture as well. What's the point of going someplace new if you don't have an open mind and a willingness to explore? It's getting easier and easier to find American food in different countries, which is why it is even more important to push yourself to eat out of your comfort zone.
My goal for this blog is to highlight the food that I love, like or wasn't so fond of while traveling so that other people know what's out there and where to find it.
