Like do adults just throw away food that taste bad? I mean like say you are at a restaurant and want to try something new… and end up hating it like two bites in…

Or perhaps a new receipe for at home…

    As a child, I was taught to eat what was served and to finish what I was served, Whether I liked it or not.

    It’s even simpler as an adult because 1) I like to try new things and I know I will often need more than a single bite of anything to really appreciate anything new 2) I want to show some appreciation to the person cooking (I simply don’t cook things I know don’t like, myself ;)

      I’m fortunate I like most everything, but the few times I didn’t like something I was still expected to eat it, mostly. Onions burned my nose sobthey didn’t make me eat them raw, and lima beans made me gag, but that’s about the only things I just wouldn’t eat. I never gave my food to a parent, but my kids did give some things to us when little and full.
