Imagine that you’re a guest at a dinner party at someone’s home.
Everything is going swimmingly until your host, looking at your plate, notices that you’ve left the asparagus untouched.
“You didn’t eat your asparagus”, he remarks. “What’s wrong with asparagus?”
“I’m sure it’s lovely,” you reply, “I just don’t care for any”
“What? You’re turning down asparagus? Have you ever even TRIED asparagus?” he asks, a little agitated. “Don’t you know that asparagus is the crowning glory of the vegetable world? How can you say you ‘don’t care for any’ – anyone with any discernment would love asparagus! Maybe you just haven’t had it cooked the right way. Try it now. I don't believe you've ever given it a chance, or tasted it the right way.”
You turn to your neighbors at the table and try to steer the topic onto something less controversial than vegetables and their relative merit. But your host won’t let it go.
