Food Vibes: New Town, New Tastes (Patreon)

Does anyone else get anxiety about trying new food? What about when you don't know a single thing/place that's good? 😅

I'm so used to having comfort foods to lean on and recommendations from SisterUnmuted, who typically orders exactly the same things as me, to get me by when figuring out what to eat and from where. But now that I'm in a new place where I don't really know anyone super close by, it's so difficult to make decisions about food!

I think as a neuropathy individual, remember to eat and figuring out what to eat are already such draining tasks, and we so often eat the same things we're already comfortable with. So now, dramatic as it sounds, I feel lost. Eating feels so much harder 🙈

I have heard that, generally speaking, Vancouver has better food than Toronto. But I still don't know what's good! And I don't know where to start! Especially since I haven't had any cravings or dopamine foods recently. So I can't even start with "well what do I want / what am I in the mood for?" Because there isn't an answer to those questions lately 🤦‍♀️

Anyway... The food vibes are a little bit of a struggle right now, but I'll figure it out eventually 😅👍

I have so far found a great sushi place, a great bagel place, and a couple sub-par takeout spots, so...crushing it 💪


Do you struggle with figuring out what to eat when you're in a new / unfamiliar place?
