I've tried 78 and that really surprised me because I'm kind of a pussy

Denise91980 · January 2012

I had 30, which is higher than I thought. Many things on that list make me cringe.

I wanna know who ate Bird's Nest Soup?

amys325 · January 2012

I just did this on FB last night. I have had 77.

These are the ones I haven't eaten.
1.       Abalone
23.     Alligator
9.       Bird’s Nest Soup
15.    Carp
21.    Chitterlings/Chitlins
26.    Crickets
27.    Currywurst
28.    Dandelion wine
30.    Durian
41.    Fugu
48.    Haggis
49.    Head Cheese
55.    Kangaroo
58.    Lassi
63.    Nettle Tea
69.    Pavlova
70.    Phaal
79.    Rabbit Stew
84.    Sea Urchin
85.    Shark
87.    Snake
92.    Squirrel
97.    Umeboshi

I've had the option to try Haggis, Head Cheese, Sea Urchin, and Fugu, but passed it up.

I would try a lot of the other things on the list if they were prepared and given to me.

To the PP who doesn't eat Foie Gras because principle. Did you know that Chicago made it illegal to serve Foie Gras? They overturned the law, but it was a huge debate.

I've never had deep fried curds, ever. I've never even seen it, we don't do that here. We eat them plane or in poutine!!

reddy123 · January 2012

I've only tried 45, I'm bummed I haven't done more, but at the same time a lot of the ones I have tried I would never eat again... eff spam, eff haggis, eff borchst.

I may have to google frito pie and a few others. I refuse to eat shark and octopus (even before vegetarianism), too much respect for the creatures.

Isn't eating Bird's Nest soup bad for the birds too? I thought I read that somewhere... destroying their habitat and all.

I think I read that somewhere a while back. Good for them. It's horrifying what they do to those birds (ducks and geese) in order to make it. I'm not a vegetarian or into PETA, but personally, I gotta draw the line there.

Currywurst is delicious! it's like "the" street corner fast food in Germany. I think I ate it at least every week in my childhood with a big side of pommes and you eat them with cute little mini plastic fork-picks.

J&K10910 · January 2012

Fugu reminds me of the third Charlie the Unicorn.

reddy123 · January 2012

Okay, so the ones I had to look up:

Bellini- a drink with peach and sparkling wine? heck yes.

Pavlova- Russian meringue dessert- I'd try it

Frito pie- omg, I had to turn my face away from the screen, white trash flashbacks.

Som tam- Also known as Tam Bak Hung, spicy shredded soup, I've had this! I've had every Asian thing on the list, I think, except the fugu.

I don't really even like Foie Gras, but I found it a little bit ridiculous that they made it illegal. Slaughter houses aren't exactly known for their humane practices either.

They changed the law back because restaurants were able to get around the law in so many ways, that it just seemed pointless. All they had to do was say that they were serving a burger with a side of foie gras....so they weren't actually selling the foie gras.

mehgank · January 2012

Ok, I just looked up Frito pie, thinking it would be different than it sounds (stuff like this sometimes is), and I'm pretty sure I made that as a kid as an after-school snack, I just didn't know it had a name. I am underwhelmed.

I think fried pickles should have been on the list. And baloney/bologna cake. And scrapple. (I've had these three, too).

reddy123 · January 2012

Fugu reminds me of the Simpson episode:

J&K10910 · January 2012

Bellinis are AWESOME.

mehgank · January 2012

Has anyone ever had balut? I haven't, but my dad did when he was in the Navy back in the day. They had a port call in the Philippines. He liked it.

pirategal03 · January 2012

I want one of these fugu diagrams from etsy, but I don't know where I'd put it.

And I have had blood sausage, I just didn't realize that black pudding was the same. I assumed the black was blood, but I figured the pudding was something else.
