Discovery

I am usually a very picky eater. I am not one for venturing out on a menu. I stick to the kids menu still even as a sophomore in high school, the classic pasta and chicken fingers. My dad has been trying to get me to eat new and exciting meals like my sister does, but I never usually budge. It’s been a while since I’ve looked on the menu for something that I’ve never had before. This weekend I made an interesting discovery. We were ordering Chinese food this Saturday when my friends were over and my friend doesn’t particularly like Chinese food. She chose to eat chicken fingers because it was something familiar and that she knew she would like. I usually get the sweet and sour chicken, which cost $7.50. I decided to get chicken fingers this time with my friend and they were only $6.30. When it got delivered to my house, it was the exact same thing as what the sweet and sour chicken is! It was a dollar cheaper and I actually found that I liked this meal better because it did not come with the sides that the sweet and sour chicken came with. What I learned from this experience was that venturing out on the menu and not being so closed-minded really came in handy this time!
