Episode notes
Bring Ready-To-Serve Contributions
- When you bring food to a host, finish any prep you expect them to avoid doing for you.
- If you bring an uncut watermelon, also bring a knife or offer to cut it so the host isn't burdened.
Try Odd Food Pairings Once
- If someone suggests an unconventional pairing, try a small sample rather than instant rejection.
- Taste experiments build empathy and may reveal enjoyable combinations.
Let People Like What They Like
- Allow others to like what they like and avoid shaming them for personal tastes.
- If someone prefers an odd condiment, treat it as their prerogative, not your problem.
