Movies and food

     I love watching movies, watching TV shows, trying new foods and eating in general. Many times when what I'm watching (whether movie or series) has food it makes me want to try it, if I haven't tried it before. This can be especially true if I'm watching something like 'Chopped' or 'Iron Chef'. I'll give some examples.
     1. Jammy Dodgers. I watched a passing episode of TV show called 'Doctor Who'. In this episode (who knows what the name of it was), the main character was eating a Jammy Dodgers, after threatening something to blow them up if they didn't cooperate. At first I didn't know what he was hold, but he mentioned the name later. (And he wanted tea with it.)

     2. Mango. A fruit that I didn't know existed. They had to use one on 'Chopped'. Chopped is a cooking show that involves 4 chefs cooking with at least four ingredients given to them. The worst chef loses each round. (there's 3 round; Appetizer, entree and dessert.) Surprisingly mangoes were easy to find.

 
     3.Chocolate Covered Pickles. Saw these at a fair. I didn't need to find it because I decided I wanted to try it when it was right in front of me. They were pretty good. I won't recommend eating them if you are a die hard chocolate lover because than you'll say there's too little chocolate on it and miss the whole point.

 4. Anchovies. I don't remember how I got associated with this fish. It's rather salty. Just like any other food, it's a matter of opinion on if it's any good or not. Personally, I think they're too salty, but if you like seafood it's worth a try; or if you like salty foods, like potato chips; or if you like both.

There is plenty other scenarios, but I hope you get the picture; try new foods that you haven't tried before. Though there's certainly no problem with having your own limits, just don't make them so you don't try anything new.
