I stay silent for a beat, studying him, not sure what to say. I don’t know how to tell him that I usually stick to familiar foods. That meals I’ve eaten a thousand times before feel the safest and the most comforting, especially when I’m overwhelmed. How I can’t eat food with certain textures without completely losing my appetite. It’s not that I don’t like to be adventurous, it’s just that when it comes to food … I’d rather stick to what I know.
