So glad to hear
that you’ve widened your palate
and are willing to try more exotic meals,
less popular fare
in less appealing plates.
I’m pleased that you are more experimental now
more daring
more willing to give the strange a try.

You sound so much more centered now,
more prepared to take the world as it comes.
I’m so happy
how far you’ve come
and the many tastes you have now
on your tongue.

It’s a shame, though,
it took you so long
to experience them.
