A: Generally I will try anything once. However, there are few exceptions. Smell and apparent texture can put me off. For example, I have attempted to try the taste of durian fruit a few times but cannot get it close enough to my mouth because of the smell, which is akin to that of a sewer. Same thing with really slimy foods. So the answer is probably yes.
There is a distinct difference between being a snob and being selective in the company you keep. A snob is someone who automatically considers individuals lacking the same status as them to be inferior. That status is often based on wealth but can be based on a lot of things, such as intellect, employment, physical attractiveness and similar characteristics. Being discerning is about making personal judgements on the value of people given their behaviour, attitdue, apparent values and the like. I personally believe that people should be both discerning and tolerant. One should evaluate the worth of others but not do so on a one-off experience (unless warranted by the severity of it) but on extended information to get a true and balanced picture of the individual concerned. A decision that certain individuals are or are not worth knowing, made under such circumstances, is normal, healthy, to be expecxted and nothing whatsoever to do with being a snob.
Water skiing. Water is a lot more forgiving than snow when you come a gutsa. But I really like tobogganning. Even better when you are doubled up with someone special.
