As the group enjoyed their Thai meal, Lena eagerly dug into her chicken galangal soup, nibbling on the chicken legs with gusto. Her friends looked on in disgust, unable to understand how she could eat a chicken leg that looked like a devil's hand.
Wilhelm, who was familiar with Thai cuisine, chimed in, "I used to hate chicken legs in galangal soup too when I first moved to Thailand with my parents. But my mother advised me to give it a try, and I'm glad I did. It's actually incredibly crunchy and delicious."
The group looked at Wilhelm in surprise, intrigued by his revelation. Lena, who had finished her chicken leg, added, "It's true! The texture is amazing, and the flavor is so unique."
Sebastian, who had ordered a spicy papaya salad, asked, "What other new foods should we try while we're here in the restaurant?"
Göran, who had ordered a green curry, suggested, "How about we try some durian? I've heard it's a love-it-or-hate-it fruit."
Jonas wrinkled his nose in disgust, "I don't know about that. I've heard it smells terrible."
Sophia, who had ordered a pad thai, added, "I'm willing to try it! And we should also try some mango sticky rice for dessert."
The group continued to discuss new foods to try, excited to expand their culinary horizons. They all agreed that trying new foods was an adventure in itself, and they were all willing to step out of their comfort zones to experience new flavors and textures.
