Essayer means to Try

I remember when I studied abroad that I tried something new about every day.  Things I loved - Tarte Flambee, Kronenbourg 1664, le sandwich au thon.  And some things I didn't love - French toothpaste, French gum.

Since Abel has arrived, he has been awesome at trying new things.  It's amazing to think about all of the things that we eat every day here that are just a regular part of American life, and how each of them are new to him.  

So I asked Abel all of the things that he has tried over the last five days that have been brand new to them, and to rank them on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being "never feed me that again" and 10 being "do you have any in the cabinet right now?"

Here's the official ranking.

Peanut Butter: 3.5
Chili: 8
Mountain Dew: 7
Root Beer: 0
Chorizo: 9
Frozen Yogurt: 7.5
American Marshmallows: 10

So clearly, the big winner is American Marshmallows.  And at this rate, by the time that Abel leaves in June, he will have tried a total of 420 new things, not sure if any of them will come close to topping american marshmallows.
