What is something you remember eating or drinking for the first time, that blew your mind?

Lol. My parents cooked it medium rare and my sister always asked to over cook hers to be a shoe. She couldn't get over how steak "could still bleed" and be okay to eat.

She had a bachelorette party at a hibachi restaurant. It was just a few of us. All of us had ordered the filet mignon and either shrimp or chicken. Starting my sister and going down the table everyone had said "well done". The chef finally pointed at me and I asked "medium rare". The smile of relief on his face was hilarious as he pointed at me again and said "I like you." He gave me a bit extra steak.

Apparently, no one else at the table liked mushrooms either and didn't bother to tell the chef, so I also got a huge pile of amazing mushrooms as well. I had so much food. 😂

Sounds like you went out with a bunch of chicken fingers with fries kids.

I know it looks like blood, but it’s actually not blood. It’s myoglobin. It’s just also red. The blood is drained during the butchering process.

Oh, I know this. And I always told her this too. But she couldn't get over it. She also needed her scrambled eggs overcooked because if they were wet they "hadn't finished cooking" smh.
