“Hey mom, you should check this place out. They have the best soup!”
“They have the best WHAT!?! Since when do you like soup?”
Growing up I was what you might call a ‘picky eater’. In spite of my mom’s best efforts I utterly refused to try even one bite of soup! Curry wasn’t even a hint of a possibilty for me. Then I moved away to college. It turns out peer pressure can actually be a good thing because my friends at school convinced me to give new foods a try.
Want to guess what happened? I found that I LOVE soup! Now I can’t get enough!
