Oh all my kids went through a phase like that. Watching me while I cook:
"What's that?" "Cumin" "Can I try some?"
"What's that?" "Minced up garlic" "Can I try some?"
That's a good thing I think right? She's been like this since she started solids. She doesn't even ask what it is she just wants it since someone else is eating it. Sometimes it doesn't even occur to her that it's something she doesn't want or like, until after we've already made extra for her...
The older one is the opposite, she MUST know what is in everything to decide whether she likes it or not, even before she has even tasted it 😒
I think it's good! I encouraged it. Mine didn't stay like that though, got more picky as they got older. Though not too bad, they are all willing to try things, though they will often ask what is in it.
I encourage questions, though! In any and all things. So it's not unexpected that they ask about it before trying. I tend to try to help with what to expect, "it tastes a bit like a cross between kiwifruit and a pear", "it's a bit like lasagne with cauliflower", or simply "I think it's something you'll like" (assuming that's true).
