Recently it has been proven that the choice of music one listens to links to their personalities. Jazz fans tend to be creative and outgoing, Country western fans were found to be hard working, but introverted, and Rap fans are outgoing and far from gentle.

In similar fashion what you will experience in food gives the impression that either you are outgoing or not. You like spicy, means you have flare. Exotic dishes you enjoy being free and adventurous. Home cooking you are reserved and generally not willing to take chances.

So here are some “flare” and “adventurous” opportunities.

If Tabasco is your friend try and replace it with wasabi.

Have you been to China Town? Try anything on display!

Lizard soup – a delicacy, chocolate grasshoppers fondue style, alligator stew, sorry – anything dog, monkey brains, snake (tastes like chicken) or frogs legs (also chicken).

Been north of the border try poutine (fries, cheese curd and gravy) in La Belle Province Quebec or seal further north, biltong (beef jerky) in South Africa or Caribou closer to home.

Next time you make a party, have a blind taste test and throw in one of the examples above, sure would make for a memorable night!
