I can't resist this meme that I got from DebR, and she got it from: A Daily Dose of Zen, .Here’s the rules:
1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
4) Optional extra: Post a comment here at A Very Good Taste linking to your results.
5) Deb’s addition: italicize the ones you aren’t sure about
The VGT Omnivore’s Hundred:
1. Venison-I'm always joking about hunting the deer on our land, our friends' dad did on theirs, and made some very tasty venison sausage out of the marauders.
2. Nettle tea
3. Huevos rancheros best hangover breakfast ever!
4. Steak tartare - Not a favorite, but served with the right sauces it is pretty good.
5. Crocodile - I’ve eaten alligator, but not crocodile
6.black pudding
7. Cheese fondue- in Switzerland even!
8. Carp -I would try it, but I've never seen this in the store to buy, or on a menu, wonder if it is good?
9. Borscht - good stuff, and such a beautiful color.
10. Baba ghanoush-oh gosh yes! I make this a lot too! Looks disgusting, but tastes heavenly.
11. Calamari - I especially love it "steak" form, sometimes the tentacles are too ooky.

13. PB&J sandwich - of course, what a silly question!
14. Aloo gobi
15. Hot dog from a street cart
16. Epoisses -love strong weird cheese!
17. Black truffle - had some on top of Risotto at a fancy San Francisco restaurant, very good.
18. Fruit wine made from something other than grapes - berry, or pear from Bonny Doon vineyard, only a little bit at a time though as it is very sweet. Good for dessert.
19. Steamed pork buns - Assuming they mean the dim sum kind.
20. Pistachio ice cream-a great color, but I like green tea ice cream better though.
21. Heirloom tomatoes - most have such great flavor and/or color, but some of them aren't all that great.
22. Fresh wild berries-sure, we can pick them in our yard, just have to fight the deer off for them!
23. Foie gras - I'd say this is the only way I'll eat liver.

33. Salted lassi - Really good with spicy Indian food.
34. Sauerkraut - I keep trying it, because I usually like pickled stuff, but it seems cabbage + vinegar is not a good taste for me.

36. Cognac with a fat cigar-I've had both, but not at the same time...

Only 13 I haven't tried! Guess I am an omnivore big time.
If you do a list, let me know, I want to read it!
Wow, I'm impressed with how many you've tried!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd have tried a lot more than I did if I lived someplace where exotic/ethnic food was a bit more readily available, as there were several things on the list I'd be willing to at least taste, but have never even seen.
Glad you played!
