Expanding my Food Horizon

Everyone has a food that they don't like. Whether it's broccoli, sauerkraut, of whatever. There is some food out there that makes your skin crawl and your stomach turn. I have decided that I'm going to put that all to the side and take on a challenge - expanding my food horizon. This is going to be a no limits experience on enriching my palate. And along this journey I will be accompanied by my father, the chef, and three of my close minded friends, who will take turns once a week trying these new foods with me.
My father was in the military for twenty two years and has sailed the seven seas, and then some. He's eaten food from across our nation, and across the world. He is going to be the one helping me lead this experience. We will find recipes from all over the U.S. and the world to try, and put our taste buds to the test.
