Journal 4 Assignment: Your final journal is about the sometimes adventurous nature of food. For this assignment, you must either try a food you have never eaten before or previously decided you did not like. This may be either an individual food (e.g. cucumbers, plantains) or a dish (e.g. liver and onions, Coq au vin). When doing so, think about the experience of eating this food. If its new to you, how would you describe the taste, texture, consistency, etc? Why have you never had it before? If its a food you have decided you do not like, does eating it again confirm your earlier decision?Is it better now that before, why or why not?
