So many time a food or a drink has been offered by a local that clearly falls outside of the normal range of what I eat. I grew up in a house without interesting food or flavors. I'm always amazed what I now eat and drink, and it's only because a lot of time when a local has suggested something I've said "ok." Doesn't always hit the mark (I'm looking at you, golonka), but I eat so much crazy Asian and Latin American food now that my parents are super confused at where I try to take them for dinner.
