Over on Very Good Taste, check out "Omnivore's 100"--things Jill and Andrew think we should try. Granted it's their list, but the blog is getting people involved by asking them to copy the list to their own blogs and list what they've eaten...
Here's the list, with things I've tried bolded--on my first count I get 73, although I include rabbit when he asks "hare." I think I've had tom yum, but must confirm first...ah, yes--Thai soup...add that to the list. I think I'm up to 74. And there are some things I will probably never try...Horse, for one..Fugu, for another...um, and most certainly not roadkill...There are things I've never heard of: phaal (A super hot curry, hotter than vindaloo, it says.. I love Indian food, but steer clear of super spicy...not likely to have been looking, ever, for this), Kaolin (am I right? Is this clay? Why would that be on a 100 things to eat list???), Baiju (Chinese grain alcohol)...Pocky...oh, Ha. Number 75. Chocolate covered cookie sticks from Japan...sold locally at our World Market. I didn't know those were pocky...
Of the things I haven't tried but most definitely will: Criollo chocolate, a tasting meal at a Michelin three-star restaurant, and poutine, which I can get during the winter here in S. Florida when the French Canadians head south.
