Ha! Yeah, doesn’t really sound like my kind of festival 😉

Not going to say I haven’t done the same tricky napkin move before 😉 It works!

Oh my gosh, that’s hilarious — and totally something I would do. Ha ha! I’m going to keep “me hace daño” in mind next time for fish!

You’re so welcome Tina — thanks for reading!

Interesting — at this point, I would agree with you, but a few years ago I was so picky that I would have spent any sort of food tour feeling humiliated. I’m glad I can mostly enjoy them now, because they are super fun!

That’s a great tip — and one I’m definitely more likely to use now that I’m STARTING to enjoy cooking, at least a little 😛

I’ve heard that too! And so I do try to eat vegetables I don’t think I’m fond of whenever I can… mushrooms are the one exception. I just can’t wrap my head around eating them. They always taste dirty to me!

Ha ha oh man I cringe reading this because I’ve been through it so many times. Paella and ceviche… they kill me. No thank you. I struggled when I stayed with a host family in high school in Costa Rica too! I saw some of them when I was back in Central America and we laughed at what a pain I had been, ha ha.

Oh I heard this over and over again from my dad when I was a kid, he just wouldn’t hear that I didn’t like fish (because we live on an island and it’s so good for you) and I was encouraged to try a mouthful anytime he was eating it. Turns out he had a point and now sushi is one of my favourite foods, taste buds can definitely change!
