It Still Means I’ve Been There

My wife and I were back visiting our home town over the holidays. While there, she picked a place for breakfast because we hadn’t tried it before. I told her I had tried it, and upon being asked (since she didn’t remember having been there), I confirmed it was once in later 1992 or early 1993. I still maintain that this meant I had been there before. I wasn’t arguing we shouldn’t go, just that we couldn’t say I was trying a totally new place.
