ngl I think orange juice coffee is pretty good
I fuck with this hard. I always pick weird foods when I go to a new restaurant, stuff that I don't know what I'm getting, and if it's bad I eat it, if it's good I eat it.
I live with the consequences, and as a consequence of that, I have found some amazing meals and foods that I never would have eaten if I hadn't experimented.
"How's everything tasting, folks?"
"... like I got what I deserved π"
"It's exactly what I ordered, thanks. π΅βπ«"
Was at a restaurant with a friend years ago. He had salad and they came to the table and asked "how is the salad?"
His answer: leafy.
2nded. I usually don't ~~try~~ sample ice cream flavours, I just pick something new. If it sucks, it sucks, whatever.
Any amazing recommendations? Anything horrible to avoid? I would love to hear your experiences
my amazing surprise recommendation doesn't seem that crazy but the summer before last a new ice cream parlor opened up next to my favorite sushi place and i decided i'd get a little treat after my lunch. i had the wild idea of making not a rootbear float nor an orange creamsicle float but a bizarre fruity bastardization float with rainbow sherbet in this locally bottled lime soda. it looked radioactive and tasted like an industrial disaster but, like, in a good way.

Not a restaurant but I feel like I've tried about everything from the fridge or pantry on a peanut butter sandwich.
Banana fluffernutter is as awesome as it sounds. Pickles are weird but not exactly bad. Jellybeans are kinda good, or maybe I'm weird. Peanut butter pepperoni is surprisingly good. But I especially love savory applications of peanuts (like OMG a good satay) so what you should really try is curry powder and a fried egg with scallions on your PB sandwich.
Normally at Vietnamese restaurants I'd always get a bahn mi, hard to go wrong with a delicious tasty sandwich, but I decided to try the pho.
Pho is a soup made with raw meat in hot broth. It looked mildly unappetizing when I first got it, but it was one of the best meals I'd ever had in my life.
Maybe it's more commonplace now, but where I lived, there was only one Vietnamese restaurant in like a 20 mile radius, so it was completely new to me.
Also, Egyptian food, I found a place called kebab in Portland when I was driving through on vacation one year, and I stopped there because they said they serve Egyptian food and I've never had Egyptian food. The food I picked was called chicken kusharia.
It was grilled chicken with a tamarind sauce on top of a bed of rice and a slightly crunchy chickpeas. The dish had the aroma of patchouli, which is not something I associate with food.
It was an experience. From the very first bite, it was like I was very present in the moment. Each and every single bite had a new flavor, a new twist to it. There was like lemon juice and lime juice and side salad and one of the best hummus sides I've ever had in my life.
If I just stuck with plain, ordinary fast food because I was on vacation, I never would have gotten to experience that.
Always pick the scariest thing on the menu.
Iβll try anything twice.
how i came to love drinking Guinness. The first drink was nasty but by the time i finished the second there were aspects of the flavor that i couldn't detect earlier that suddenly came through, and i've enjoyed it ever since.
One time hanging out with my dear friend at the mall she said "I wanna go to the cheesecake factory. Its not very good, but sometimes I want bad food, ya know?"
It was in the shopping center and I had never been, so bewildered and curious I agreed. The food was fucking abysmal. I don't think I've ever had worse restaurant food honestly.
"i am living with the consequences" goes hard. major personal accountability. I respect it. props to OOP for extending mercy too tho.
Honestly, that's my type. "I fucked up but I won't complain my way to trying for something better." I agree, good on both of em.
I mean, living with the consequences doesnβt mean you have to drink it. Having to buy a second drink that you know you like is still living with the consequences.
Good for her! I think more people need to love with the consequences of their actions.

Now that's a healthy personality.
Glad she figured that one out before the gasoline fight
My family's motto growing up was "Eat all mistakes." It mostly applied to not wasting food, even if you messed it up. So when I baked cookies in the oven after my mom made a roast, but forgot to turn the temperature down and burned the shit out of them, I had to eat them all. Stuff like that. It really taught me to pay more attention, and appreciate when food was good, even if it wasn't my favorite.
Nowadays I use it for a lot of things - if I decide to watch a show that ends up not being great, I'll eat my mistake and finish the season before dropping it. If I start a hobby that I end up not being as motivated to do as I initially thought I'd be, I eat my mistake and use up the materials I bought before stopping.
It both gives me an opportunity to make sure I really don't like something before I give up on it, and also trains me to not dive too deep into something before I know whether I'm going to enjoy it.
Gotta punish those neurons. Little bastards must be made to learn one way or another
Orange and chocolate is a thing so I can see how they might think it would be worth trying.
I have done that with beer. I never get the same beer twice, I always get a variety.
Protip: pistachio beer tastes like sadness.
My experience with pistachio beer was mild horror. Like being unsure where you left your keys and taking more than a minute to find them.
The thing is, some light roasted single-origin coffees can be fruity in flavour without adding anything, and theyβre delicious.
As a couple examples Iβm currently brewingβ¦
Very fruity. And very delicious.
Ironically coffee is fruit.
When I was like 7, I figured that since orange soda tastes good and cocoa tastes good, mixing cocoa powder in orange soda would taste good.
I was proved wrong very quickly and developed a phobia for orange+chocolate for a decade.
And that was the moment she became enlightened.
Do most people just throw away a thing they dislike or something? Idk why it's noteworthy to commit to the decision you made.
Worst drink I ever ordered was matcha with hazelnut sryup at dunkin donuts
Energy drink coffee
I can see the logic Coffee is typically used as a flavour enhancer for dark and milk chocolate.
Orange flavour goes great with dark and milk choc
Therefore, it should work with cappuccino.
I let the bad thoughts in and ordered a drink that was a mix of espresso and root beer. It wasn't undrinkable, but I wouldn't order it again.
Cold brew and Jarritos mandarin soda is actually pretty good.
What, how is this unpopu-ooooh America
