I've eaten 67. 

I will never eat crickets.

ETA: Oh man, Mara. I'm dying at our matching sigs.

ZombieNates

I've had 19 and that's about as adventurous as I am.

OMG, monsta. That is the best picture ever. Especially since the Ron Swanson Pyramid of Greatness is in the background.

I've had 32 and I'm surprised it's that low...

I just made huevos rancheros last Friday!  NOM

Nebb

I've had 22. I can guarentee you I will not eat some of those before I die - sweetbreads, haggis, head cheese, goat, snail, black pudding... Yuuuuck. Eff that.

ZombieNates

Mmm, empanadas. 

Really, I was glad there were 19 things on there that I'd had. When I first saw the list, I figured I hadn't eaten any of it.

Steph0871

I've had 42.

mehgank

I've eaten 69 (*snort*) out of the list. I never realized how "adventurous" my everyday eating is haha.

anna.oskar

Well crap.  Further proof that I'll eat almost anything.

Some of the things on the list I won't eat out of principle (foie gras) and because I don't like them (morel mushrooms).

Nebb - Haggis is delicious! I would eat it for breakfast everyday if I could.

Nina0528

I've only had 10. I don't eat seafood or drink anything other than water so that counts out a lot of the more "normal" things (root beer float, mimosas, lobster, etc). 

Pineapple and cottage cheese sounds slightly horrifying.  

maratea

Head cheese and goat are not that bad.

AllAboutTheBenjamin

I'm annoyed that Hostess fruit pies are on that list, lol.

and s'mores? wtf?

Pineapple and cottage cheese is DELICIOUS. Especially with some sunflower seeds for extra texture.

AllAboutTheBenjamin

Lots of people eat fruit with cottage cheese, like oranges or peaches.  I've never done it but I can kinda see why.

I think any pie that's not homemade is disgusting.  Pre-packaged?  Omg vom.

cardmonsta

One of my MIL's loves Hostess Fruit Pie. It's her favorite dessert. I've never tried it. It looks kind of like a glorified Pop-tart.

kd.joseph

I've had about 38. Some I would eat again, others no. And some...No, I'm not even trying some of those. This from someone who's mother used to make us eat cow tongue and heart.

ZombieNates

Ew, N's friend totally "hunts" and eats squirrel. Well, they're not friends anymore, but still, it was gross.

Holla! But this shouldn't really surprise anyone, since my dad was an only-slightly-less-hairy version of Grizzly Adams.

ETA: I should say he is. Was would imply he's gone to be with the late Adams.

pirategal03

I've had 82.

This is why my "try 10 new foods" goal is hard.  Many of the ones on that list I haven't tried I also haven't heard of. 

And really, MoonPie?  You have to eat a MoonPie?

<div>lol. I sort of hope the friendship dissolved entirely due to the squirrel-eating.</div>

Nebb

I'm shocked anyone can say a fruit pie is disgusting but haggis and head cheese aren't. Baaarfarama.

raynes

I've had 43, and I'm a bit surprised that it's not higher!  Oh well, things to aspire to.

Derek and his mom LOVE pineapple cream cheese.  Not the same as pineapple and cottage cheese, but probably similar.  I think it's ok.

And I agree, goat is not bad, especially when done up all spicy and delicious in a roti.

reils

I have only had 18. I am boring I guess. I don't eat a lot of meat or seafood though so that eliminates a lot of the options.
