I like to try places too, but it is strange in Finland. There hasn't been a strong dining out culture in Finland for long (a couple decades) so when people have gone out, they generally order something they know they will like, rather than experiment. Men especially will commonly get a pepper steak, because it is hard to screw it up and the meat doesn't have to be great quality, as the pepper masks the flavor. I find it strange how big a difference in culture there can be i this regard, and it spills into other areas of risk assessment also.

I thought I would have a steak in a hotel restaurant once, because I thought they couldn't mess it up. I was wrong.
They offered another meal to replace it, free of charge. I said, no, please, just let me leave.
Sorry about your day out, that is disappointing.
That must have been a terrible steak! :D
One of the benefits to be young and healthy was getting to try a lot of different foods out. It has been a long time for me and food experimentation. I still like to try new stuff, but there is not a lot of choice where I live. We have Mexican, Italian, Greet, Chinese, and even on Thai place; so a good selection for two small towns that would not total 15,000 people added together.
