food

While reading through the lecture slides I found the “food” lecture to be particular interesting. The part of that lecture that stood out to me the most was the information on food neophobia. Food neophobia is defined as the extreme dislike, or fear, of trying something new or unfamiliar. Personally, I love trying new types of food. I have been all over the world and one of my favorite things to do is try new and different foods from regions of the world that I have yet to experience before. I like to say that I love to "eat my way through a city." However, I work in a restaurant and have had experience with people before who are fearful of trying something new.
