It is stated that few people like to experience a new place and different food items, while others prefer with their familiar choices. Although visiting new places and tasting new dishes gives us the exposure, I believe that sticking to our own choices and preferences gives us the peace and satisfies our cravings.
On the one hand, by visiting the places which we used to go by our past experiences gives us the peace when we feel low. This is because when we are connected emotionally to a place, we remember our memories when we visit and spend time at the particular place whereas the new place would not give the same feeling. For instance, as per my personal experience, my father visits a temple whenever he feels low as it reminds him the moments with his mother.
On the other hand, having our favorite food could only satisfy our cravings when compared to trying various food items. A new dish may give us the good taste, but would not able to satisfy our craving. For example, as per a survey in India, more than three forth of the Indian population have the habit of drinking tea when hey are stressed instead of trying new coffee flavors.
To conclude, even though people would get a great exposure when visiting a place for the first time and feels excited about new dish. In my opinion, going to the place where we are emotionally connected gives us peace and tasting our go-to-food can only satisfy our cravings.
