Me! I'm glad Erik and I have such similar tastes in food,
although he started off as a very picky eater. We both love trying
new things, spicy food, darn near any ethnic food, etc. (Shaddup,
Boli!) If he'd been the close-minded type about trying new things, we
wouldn't have as much fun as we do...and he would've starved to death
on our trip to Malaysia.

As it was, all my relatives (and I'm not exaggerating here,
I do mean ALL) remarked at least once each about how surprised they
were that Erik tried and liked everything. They seemed happy, maybe
even with a note of relief that a different diet would need to be
accomodated. Erik ate everything they did, chilies included, AND
with chopsticks. I think it got so that my relatives were buying
extra food just to see what he'd eat.

P.S. His favorite new food discovery on the trip? Fish paste!
