When you eat out do you order the same thing every time? Or do you prefer to try different dishes?

    It depends where we're going for me. Eating out can be pretty expensive and so I tend to order the same wherever we go. I probably have about 3 or 4 dishes that I look for and as long as they serve one of them then I'm happy.

    While I don't mind trying new foods, I'd rather do that at home or when out shopping, then if you don't like a meal you've always got the other option to cook somthing else and you've not wasted a lot of money.

    Well, my general motto is to only buy stuf at a restaurant that I could not easily replicate at home -- which will often be complex or expensive old avorites (anything with lamb is welcome!) or something new.

    For ice cream, I'm usually pretty much ordering the same stuff: at least two different flavours, one o them chocolate, the other one something "refreshing", most of the time fruits (often berries or any fun, fresh fruits. Not banana)

    I used to order the same thing all the time. I've never been one to eat out a lot, so I didn't risk money often on trying new things. Also because I'm pretty picky and it's rare I like more than a couple items on the menu anyway. Especially these days.. I don't eat out at all anymore, though I'm finding more and more restaurants that cater to people like me, so I might be giving some a try. If I do, I'll be trying almost everything lol.
