I worked as a lunch/recess aid for a few years at an elementary school. Students were always trying to share food with me, even though I was clearly not starving. I made a deal with them. They should eat their own food unless they had something I had never eaten before, then I would try a bite. And then I reminded them that I had lived in Indonesia, so this might be a challenge. They tried but without success until a fifth grade boy brought in some duck jerky that his dad made. The kids were so excited when I tried a bite! Life can be an adventure wherever you are! What new things have you tried?
