Give it a try, yours could be good or better than what I had.

Remember - you are not limited on your selections. You can skip courses, order several items, double up on items… I’m pretty sure they prefer that you don’t order a second appetizer after they have brought out the Mains, as the kitchen is somewhat an assembly line. But if you are eating your appetizer and see others eating something that looks good, the waiters have always brought one out if requested. … without rolling their eyes.

Despite my preconceived ideas of what to order, the waiters’ suggestions have gotten me some excellent choices.

Most of my adventures in food have come from other people’s prodding me out of my comfort zone - or eating on a cruise ship. I have eaten escargot. Once, on DCL. It‘s the garlic I remember.

My adventures in food come from a mother who insisted I try something before I decided what I thought of it, and a father who was a french trained chef. I have eaten everything from Antelope (Yes Really) to Walnuts... still need to try something that starts with x - z.

Have you never eaten zucchini?

And yucca or yams? We've had yucca fries with truffle oil before, tasty!

Xantham gum and Xylitol, XO sauce - but none as a dish. X-named foods sound like a foray into Mexican or Chinese cuisine.
