I don't know about the rest of you but I've been hungry to the point where the bark on trees started to look good. It is not a good feeling. Then your rational mind tells you that you are in the first stages of hunger driven madness. Military training will do that to you. Thanks Uncle Sam.
I eat whatever I have a hankering for. I don't complain about free food. And if I were throwing a party I would try to accommodate everyone (isn't that what a host is suppose to do?), or say to heck with it let's make it a potluck.
There are your more adventurous people, and then there are those who stick with what is familiar and comfortable.
Growing up ethnic and being exposed to a wide variety of cuisine may have biased my palate to skew liberal.
You have not lived until you have tried Korean cold noodle soup with wasabi oil. Be careful with that oil, a little goes a long way.
