The idea of this thread is "should," and if you haven't tried something--expand your vistas, remember we're always telling guys to "try Sly" aren't we? If having tried it and you don't like something, fine, but at least give it a shot. Jonathan Swift is credited with saying, "He was a bold man that first ate an oyster!" I've known many people who have to come to South Louisiana, Raw Oyster Virgins, and granted many had to take some "Dutch Courage" before their first one, but having downed that first salty, juicy and raw bivalve became addicted. They are just that good. As for escargots, i.e. snails, or caracoles in Spanish, again try them, at least try. They are really good too. I have always associated the Spanish version with the Rambla in Barcelona, wonderful.
Reach out to help a stranger. I was walking into a store last week and an older woman was trying to put a wheelchair into their car as her husband who before I got there just got out and was in the passenger seat. They were both very grateful for me stopping to help. I can tell you there were MANY that passed by while she struggled and offered no help. That wheel chair was really heavy too and she told me her husband was confined to it the day before so this was their first trip out with it.
