My lovely wife, #chefinthemaking, just walked into the office with a jar of something and said, “here, taste this,” holding out a fork.

I used to demand an explanation as to what she was trying to get me to try...and sometimes why.

No more.

She says, “here, taste this,” and I immediately open my mouth.

I guess she’s either got me well trained...or just makes really good food...or both?

It was pickled cabbage (basically sauerkraut), btw...and it was amazing.

How are you at trying new foods, dishes, ingredients? What about your families? Picky eaters...or adventurous?

At this point, I'll basically try anything once...but that most certainly was NOT always the case.
