My philosophy of trying new stuff

"Try a thing you haven't done three times. Once, to get over the fear of doing it. Twice, to learn how to do it. And a third time, to figure out whether you like it or not."

- Virgil Garnett Thomson

Have I ever told you my rule of 15 when trying new foods? It takes as many as 15 times eating a new food to see if you like it. If you've tried it that many different times and still don't like the taste, you probably really don't like it. This is especially useful to remember when trying new foods with children. It helps you get through the annoyance of having sweet potatoes spit in your face for the ninth time.
