Yes, wouldn't hurt for them try new stuff, even if it's just a taste at first from someone else's plate. My dad was a meat, mash and two well cooked veg man. Only pasta he ate was tinned Heinz spaghetti and rice, Ambrosia rice pudding. My mum was more adventurous and would try anything so she ate Chinese. Not keen on curry though. She did ask for a knife and fork in KFC once though.
My Dad introduced me to curry in the 60's.
Vesta!
Rice always served in a perfect circle around the plate and the "curry" content poured into the well in the middle.
Chow Mein also - good old MSG hits!
He also loved the Fray Bentos steak and kidney pie in the circular can.
All still available in Poundland 😳

You can't cook chicken from frozen. You can, it's fine.
Ice land and tesco sell tons of cheap frozen chicken full of water. And to be cooked from frozen. And yes tastes and looks like cardboard

Someone I know says that he'd never eat sprouts as they give you cancer. Maybe he means all the pesticides used but that applies to any vegetables and not just sprouts!

Only if you serve it with cardboard sauce though, to be fair

In Quito, Ecuador I decided immediately we sat down at a group lunch I was ordering Guinea pig.
We were in a tour group and two people moved to another table immediately (to enjoy their burger and chips without being upset) but a "veggie" next to me said "Your choice, I'm not offended".
I was more peed off by the person opposite who wouldn't order it but badgered me for a taste before I'd even tasted it myself.
Why would the person be offended? It's the Guinea pig I'd be concerned about

Go on then, what else won't you eat on principle?
