Chef Paul: You have to try it
May 11 2011
Everyone is different. Everyone’s tastes are different. What one person loves another may hate. Nowhere is this more
apparent than with food. Everyone has their opinion about what they like and dislike. And you can’t tell someone they are wrong. That’s what makes us human, the ability to choose.
Anyone who has children will have had this conversation: “I don’t like it.” “Have you tried it?” “No, I don’t like it.” “How do you know if you haven’t tried it?”
While it may be difficult to rationalize with children about how they should try new things, often adults can be just as stubborn. The argument that “it’s good for you” is usually a last resort and most often falls on deaf ears.
Yet, if you are serious about tackling your health and eating more nutritious foods, things have to change. Trying new foods is one of the changes that must be made. So many nutritious and healthy foods are often overlooked because “he won’t like it”. Well, like I say to my 3 year old daughter: “you have to try it.”
