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.

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

[–] Draegur@lemmy.zip 16 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

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.

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.

"i am living with the consequences" goes hard. major personal accountability. I respect it. props to OOP for extending mercy too tho.

[–] shartgargle@lemmy.zip 31 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 weeks ago

I mean, living with the consequences doesn’t mean you have to drink it. Having to buy a second drink that you know you like is still living with the consequences.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 52 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Good for her! I think more people need to love with the consequences of their actions.

yeah so like my mind goes there too, i've had those chocolate oranges and they were amazing and i loved orange creamsicles so you'd think that if something goes good with chocolate and cream it'd go good with other things that also go good with chocolate and cream

BUT IT DOES NOT AT ALL D:

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.

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.

[–] sulgoth@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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 they’re delicious.

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.

No Terry's Chocolate oranges for you I guess?

Do most people just throw away a thing they dislike or something? Idk why it's noteworthy to commit to the decision you made.

Energy drink coffee

[–] baeb66@lemmy.today 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] Phantom_Engineer@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 weeks ago

A classic Orange Joe.

I think, maybe, if you could put a really small amount of citrus it would work. It works for Picard.

Like squish an orange peel over the beans type of thing.

I think I'm going to try it.
