Don’t Yuck My Yum

Tastes change, you need to be willing to try things

There are two things in that photo above that about 10 years ago I would have NEVER eaten, fish and unsweetened tea.  I could add a few more things to that list like mushrooms and hummus.  These were all foods that I yucked when I saw them on someone’s plate.  

What changed?

I did!  Several years ago, I don’t even remember how many now, I was with my softball team and we were traveling for a game.  The school packed us lunches when we didn’t have time to eat before loading onto the bus.  Well I can remember my assistant coach having a hummus wrap and I thought and I’m sure I said “YUCK!”  She replied with “Don’t yuck my yum, have you ever tried it?”  I had to admit that I had not tried it but I didn’t like chic peas so I assumed I would not like hummus.  Well I tried it and guess what, I didn’t die, or vomit, I actually liked it!  The same happened with the other “yucks” I mentioned above, I tried them and liked them!  

Be brave and try something new

Your tastes change over the years and you may now like something that you did not like, but you will never know unless you try it.  

My challenge to you is this, the next time you see a “yuck” give it a try!  You may be surprised, you may like it!  Let me know what you tried and what you thought!
