Will try??????

Last week a group of friends went out to dinner. It was of course a fun evening with our spouses and away from the kids. As most of you know I am not a seafood lover. Sometimes I wish I could be but it's just plain and simple I am not. On occasion I can have a fried Halibut but even then it can't be fishy tasting or it's out. I don't think you can classify McDonalds Fish fillet's as FISH, I use to like those but again I haven't had one of those in years. As we were waiting on our food one of the couples orders a few plates of different seafood for everyone to try out. I wasn't in the least bit interested but then I felt the pressure as even my best friend was willing to give it a go. I first attempted the clams, they were the best out of the three and I was able to eat that without gagging or anything. Next came the muscles-Now these were a little groser but still not terrible. (I felt like I was on survivor trying these items-if only I could have won money for it).

Now the last thing I tried was fried calimari. I was really hesitant on this one and had a little piece to give it a go. Jeremy stated that if you didn't put it all in your mouth it wasn't worth it. He jokingly told me they were octupus (so I thought he was joking-yeah he wasn't.) Needless to say I threw the entire bite in my mouth and tried to chew, and tried to chew, and tried to chew-That thing was so chewy I wanted to spit that thing out. Under the pressure of 11 others I kept it in my mouth somehow and swalloed, though it tasted like crap stuck in my mouth. I think Mark was astonished that I even tried it. I guess you have to live life to the fullest and this is one thing that I was willing to try. I can now say honestly that I will never have calamari or muscles again, Clams are a question mark but it wont be on the dinner plate, it will be a curtosy food.
