Sometimes you want to take a risk. The road less traveled. A new experience. A new flavor.
A new restaurant.
There are many types of food available in Paris. The list of things not available is somewhat small. Anything short of Italian beef and real pizza is located in this corner of the universe.
Just, not all of it is good.
Very apparently.
Korean food is a favorite. Not sure what it is about Kim Chee, or Bulgogi, or the little fish. Maybe it is a challenge to the Western palette? Maybe it’s because many Americans think it is weird?
In a spirit of adventure, a new Korean experiment was found and tried. It looked good. Korean people were eating in the restaurant. The food tasted good.
The experiment failed. Some may claim weak stomach, but the event had another unfortunate witness.
Something on the inside wanted out.
One incident, however, is not the end of the world. Not the best day, but it passed (thankfully) quickly. You take a risk, sometimes you lose.
Like Las Vegas.
So what are the odds of it happening again?
Quite good, apparently.
Not too much later my sister and her friend were visiting. Sometimes, the place you intended to go to is closed Mondays. Sometimes you do not look these things up.
“Try something new. Life is an adventure.”
Life is an adventure.
New experiment. This was recommended by the best bartender in Paris. Sorry to say, though her bartending is stellar, this recommendation does no justice to that skillset.
“I’ve never thrown up like that before.”
“I feel better, though.”
Maybe going to new restaurants with people who will eat there with you is the way to go. But just like in science, even when the experiment fails, it still gives you knowledge.
