If a friend offered you something unusual to eat, like insects, would you give it a go?

B Natural answer

I think I would, but I’d want to be careful. I wouldn’t want to eat a big portion right away, so I’d try a small bite first and see how it tastes. If the smell and look were okay, and if my friend had already eaten it, I’d probably relax a bit. I’m not the kind of person who says no to everything new. Still, I like to keep an open mind while also paying attention to hygiene and whether the food is prepared properly. If it felt safe, I’d probably give it a fair chance.
