Does “it” represents “we went to try the food”? Can you give me an example sentence that uses the same grammar? Could it be said “going to try the food was skepticism”? Thanks
A:
Firstly, there is a word missing from the original sentence:
“… so it was [with] skepticism in our hearts that we went to try the food.”
In this sentence, “it” does not have a strong meaning. It is mainly being used to fit a grammatical pattern:
“It was with […] that we […].”
Perhaps “it” refers to the situation.
“… so it was [with] skepticism in our hearts that we went to try the food.”
