I used to be this way, but then I realized two flawed assumptions. Both related to each other:

1. Some % of the time, my first experience will not be like the others.

2. I will not be the same person the next time I try something.

If your strategy works for you and you don't feel limited, that's great! Many people do feel limited if they only ate things they liked the first time. I am very happy that I eat bell peppers, onions, yoghurt, coffee, and (less happy due to calories) beer. If I only ate what I liked when I first tried it as a kid, I would be eating a lot of cheese pizza, candy, soda, and ice cream.
