One Food, Two Different Chefs, Two Different Tastes!

I always have a saying that I use when talking about food.  It's "try everything twice".  The reason I say this is because a lot of times people try a food and then make the decision that they don't like it.  First impressions are important for food, as well as, people.  It's important to give food a second chance because many factors can determine whether you like.  Texture can be a determining factor because food can be cooked in different ways which will change its character.  Another factor that can change is the taste which can be determined by other ingredient added to it or the method of preparing and cooking it. 

A third factor that can change the food is how it is packaged.  Taste can be changed significantly by purchasing an item that isn't fresh.  It could make the food bitter.   The packaging could be fresh, canned or frozen and can make the flavor change the whole recipe.  Since each chef's interpretation of a food is different it's always a good idea to try it once and then try it again prepared a different way by a different chef.  You can compare this to the common question, "How do you like your eggs?".  Many people enjoy eating eggs but they don't always like them prepared the same or one standard way.  Think of your other foods the same way and try something new.
