Kelp Caviar

I consider myself as a picky eater.  There are lot of food that I don't eat and that I don't like.  When it comes to like and dislike, it is all personal.  When I was a child, it was hard for me to taste new food.  I think I was alike other children.  It is not always evident to taste new and unknown food.  There where some food that I tried as a child.  It ended that I didn't like those food.  I also felt a little bad to ask for a food and ending not liking it.  This isn't helping when occasion arise to taste new foods.

As an adult, there are a few times where I felt adventurous.  All of them happened recently.  I no longer have to ask.  I also live with omnivorious, they aren't picky.  Maybe all that help me feel more adventurous on the food side.   Recenly I saw how kelp caviar is made.  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIPud24k41s).  I admit that ordinary caviar is a bit repealing to me.  It is more the idea of eating fishes' egg, even if I would like to kown how it taste.  Could be a love / hate relationship.  Dislike/Curiosity to be more precise.  What I like about the kelp caviar is the vegetarian side to it.  They use an specie of seaweed, if i remember correctly, as a base for the caviar.  I remember more how they form the pearly caviar.  I find it cool.  It is like little droplet from a leaky faucet.

So, I was curious to try it.  I odered here: http://www.amazon.ca/Kelp-Caviar-Sturgeon-KELP-CAVIAR/dp/B0089CDS1Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1443296750&sr=8-1&keywords=kelp+caviar
I took one with sturgeon and one salmon flavor.  There isn't much difference between the two.  I am hesitant to try the other flavors (ginger, wasabi, chili and truffle).  I was feeling adventurious but not too much.  The flavors that I haven't tried are a bit spicy.  I am not ready to try them yet.  Don't know if I end up trying them yet.  I tried them with family members.  One of them didn't liked it.  Another reason not trying the other flavors.  What I liked the most about this is the texture.  It made me think of some little peals of jello.  The one thing I didn't liked was the saltiness. 

It is rare that I like something and the other doesn't like it.  I don't know if I will try other exotic products.  I never really talk about food in my fiction.  I could put this experience in one story.
