For the most part, I stick with what I know. I'm a texture eater (basically certain textures make me very sick when I eat them), so I am careful with what I choose to eat. When I'm with my brother (a chef), I don't really have a choice because he shoves food in my face and tells me to take a bite. Sometimes, if it sounds really good, I'll try something new but eh.. ^^;

I always ALWAYS try something new! I love trying new things and I jump at the chance no matter what.

I use to be very adventurous - but lately I get the same thing at each restaurant - so my variety comes in by going to a lot of different restaurants.

No, I usually order what I know I like. There are two places near me that are locally owned and the servers all know what me and my fiance and some of my family members order, lol! They just come up and ask if we want the same

I like to try new restaurants regularly, and depending on how often I've been somewhere, I'll try to throw something new into the mix regularly. Sometimes, some places just have something SO good that I don't want to try anything else.

I'm terribly indecisive so a lot of the time I will read and read the menu and then at the last second order the same thing I always get.

Um, because honey walnut shrimp is the bomb! My local chinese place makes a version to die for. It comes with lots of fresh steamed broccoli and more of that creamy white sauce. ::drool::

That's exactly how I am. I hate to waste $ and find out I don't like something. I have a pretty good idea of what I will/will not eat...but sometimes I get slightly adventurous.

When going out to eat, I usually order the same stuff every time. I know it's good, and I know I like it. I hate spending money on something and end up not liking it! At home though, I will make all kinds of different stuff.

I mostly stick to what I like unless it is at a place where i can try a lot of things like sushi or a buffet.

I have bad luck when it comes to trying something new. I will always get sick some way or form so when ordering I will only get what I am used to eating.

I generally won't try things I'm not familiar with if I'm paying restaurant prices for it, since I'm picky, but if I'm familiar with the place/cuisine and have consistently good food, I tend to be a little more daring.

I try being adventurous with new foods... After spending 10-20 minutes looking at the menu, I always get my normal order.

When I go out to eat at a restaurant, I usually stick with something I'm familiar with. I have a difficult time deciding though when we go somewhere and I have 3-5 favorite dishes.

I'm not into trying much new in the way of food. My husband and daughter...bring it on. If it doesn't eat them, they will consume it!

I usually just get what I know I'll like but occasionally I'll go for something new and different.

I'm a picky eater, so I normally stick with what I usually get... but sometimes if something else looks good, I'll give it a try.
