You’ve just walked into a multicultural food festival. Which stall do you head to first?

One that sells a familiar dish you’ve always enjoyed.

A stall that offers traditional dishes from a culture you’re slightly familiar with.

The most exotic stall, offering dishes you’ve never even heard of.

Your friend offers you a piece of candy from their travels; it’s a flavor you’ve never tried before. How do you react?

Politely decline. You stick to flavors you know you like.

Accept, with some hesitation. It’s just candy, after all.

Take two! You’re eager to taste something new.

When cooking at home, how do you approach meal prep?

Follow a tried-and-tested recipe to the letter.

Try a new recipe but with some familiar ingredients.

Experiment with ingredients you’ve never used before.

Faced with the decision to try a dish that includes an ingredient you dislike, do you:

Skip and select something else.

Consider it, if the ingredient is prepared in a different way.

Go for it, to see if it changes your mind about the ingredient.

How do you feel about fusion cuisine?

Skeptical. You believe in keeping culinary traditions pure.

Intrigued. You’re open to tasting how different culinary worlds collide.

Excited. You love when chefs mix it up and create something entirely new.

At a seafood restaurant, are you more likely to order:

Fish and chips. Why fix what isn’t broken?

Grilled octopus. It's a bit different but still approachable.

Sea urchin. You’re all about diving deep into unique sea flavors.

When faced with the option of dining at a restaurant known for its challenging 'Fear Factor' style menu, would you:

Politely pass. You eat to enjoy, not to be challenged.

Feel intrigued but opt for one of the less daunting options.

Jump at the chance to conquer the whole menu.

How do you approach food when traveling abroad?

Seek out comfort foods that remind you of home.

Try the local specialties that are popular and well-received.

Dive into the most authentic, perhaps even street food, experiences, regardless of how unfamiliar they are.

Presented with a local delicacy that’s often seen as controversial (e.g., durian, fermented shark), you:

Steer clear. Some things are better left untasted.

Give it a small taste. It’s about the experience, after all.

Dive in, eager to discover what the fuss is all about.

When shopping at the grocery store, do you:

Stick to your list. No surprises.

Occasionally grab something new off the shelf if it looks interesting.

Make it a point to pick up at least one unfamiliar item each trip.

How do you feel about sour or fermented foods?

Not a fan. You generally avoid them.

Curious. You’ll try them in dishes where they aren’t the main feature.

Love them. The tangier or funkier, the better.

At a dinner party, you’re served something you’ve never seen before. Your initial reaction is to:

Ask discreetly if there’s an alternative.

Give it a try. If you don’t like it, you’ll just eat around it.

Compliment the host on their adventurous selection and dig in.

What's your stance on eating insects as a sustainable protein source?

No way. You prefer sticking to more traditional protein sources.

Mildly curious. You might try something like cricket flour in a smoothie or baked goods.

Fully supportive. You're all about trying grilled tarantulas, seasoned crickets, or whatever else is on offer.

Imagine you’re at a brunch spot that’s famous for its creative takes on classic dishes. Do you:

Order the standard breakfast platter. Why mess with a good thing?

Go for a dish that’s a twist on a classic, like savory oatmeal.

Choose the most unconventional option, like a deconstructed eggs Benedict with a molecular gastronomy twist.

Your drink options include a classic cocktail, a local specialty you've never heard of, and a concoction with a mix of unusual ingredients. You choose:

The classic cocktail. It’s a safe bet.

The local specialty. When in Rome, right?

The unusual concoction. Life’s too short for boring drinks!

When it comes to adding hot sauce or spicy condiments to your food, you:

Prefer to keep things mild. You’re not a fan of heat.

Like a bit of spice, but nothing too overpowering.

Live by the motto “the hotter, the better.”

Offered a slice of cake flavored with an unusual herb or spice (e.g., basil or black pepper), you:

Decline. Dessert should be sweet, not savory!

Are intrigued enough to try a small piece.

Are thrilled by the innovation and happily dive in.

Chefs are experimenting with 'ugly' fruits and vegetables to reduce waste. Your thoughts?

You prefer your fruits and veggies to look appealing.

It’s a great idea, and you’re willing to try dishes made with them.

You love the concept and would happily participate in a tasting menu focusing on these ingredients.

How do you feel about replacing rice or pasta with more innovative grains or alternatives (e.g., quinoa, cauliflower rice)?

Not interested. You stick to traditional staples.

Open to trying them as a side dish.

Already doing it! You’re a fan of experimenting with alternatives.

When you hear about a new restaurant with a menu themed around a concept (e.g., zero-waste, farm-to-table) that’s new to you, do you:

Feel skeptical and wait to see if it lasts.

Are curious and willing to try it at some point.

Can’t wait to go and love the idea of supporting innovative concepts.

If a friend challenges you to a week of vegan eating, your reaction is:

Decline. You can’t imagine a week without your usual foods.

Intrigued but cautious. You agree if you can have some non-vegan options.

Enthusiastic and ready. It’s a chance to explore new dishes.

The latest food trend involves eating parts of food usually discarded (e.g., broccoli stems, watermelon rind). Your take?

Waste not, want not, but not on your plate.

Worth a try, especially if prepared in an appetizing way.

You’ve already been composting and trying out recipes with these!

Imagine discovering a fruit you've never seen or tasted before at a local market. You:

Are cautious and stick to what you know.

Buy a small amount to try at home.

Are excited and buy enough to experiment with different recipes.

At a potluck, someone brings a dish made from an old family recipe that seems quite out of the ordinary. Do you:

Politely pass. You're not one for food experiments.

Sample a small portion out of politeness and curiosity.

Dive in, eager to experience the history and story behind the dish.

How do you approach a buffet with a wide range of international cuisines presented?

Stick to the dishes and cuisines you know you like.

Sample small portions from different cuisines, sticking mostly to what looks familiar.

Fill your plate with the most foreign and intriguing options available.

When cooking for others, do you:

Prepare something you're confident they will all like.

Include one dish that's a bit out of the ordinary, as a conversation starter.

Use it as an opportunity to experiment and introduce your guests to entirely new flavors and dishes.

How do you react to a new food trend that’s all over social media?

Skeptical and unlikely to try it unless it becomes mainstream.

Curious, you might try it if you come across it naturally.

All in, ready to try it at home or seek it out in restaurants.

You're offered a taste of a traditional dish from a culture vastly different from your own, which includes ingredients you're unfamiliar with. Do you:

Decline, sticking to what you're comfortable with.

Hesitate but eventually try a small taste.

Accept enthusiastically, eager for a new culinary experience.

How do you feel about cooking shows focused on unconventional ingredients and recipes?

They're not for you. You prefer more traditional cooking shows.

Interesting to watch, but you might not make the recipes yourself.

Love them and often get inspired to try out their recipes.

If you encountered a dish made with an edible but non-traditional part of an animal (e.g., beef cheeks, chicken feet), you would:

Stick to the more familiar cuts of meat.

Be a bit wary, but you’re willing to try it if it's well-recommended.

Be intrigued and view it as an opportunity to broaden your culinary horizon.

“What’s A Food You Went Your Whole Life Thinking It Was Nasty Until You Tried It?” (30 Answers)

We recognize five basic tastes: sweet, bitter, sour, salty, and savory. But we also identify an enormous range of flavors, as every variety of every ingredient has its own distinct characteristics.

We do this with our taste buds that are housed in the small pink bumps on the tip of our tongue. So while we might have an idea of whether or not we will like a certain food, we simply cannot be sure until we put it in our mouth.
