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

Mmmm... I love pinepple and peaches on my cottage cheese.

And Nebb Black pudding is actually delicious.

Well, it did on my end, but they grew apart for other reasons :P. I should tell everyone it was purely squirrelconsumption, though.

sb9411 · January 2012

I've had 44.... which surprises me. A bunch were before I was a vegetarian. I have 0 desire to try anyt that I haven't already, and don't really desire eating a few of them that I have had again!

YOu must try the bolded. They are all YUM!

Wiscisbliss · January 2012

Do you know where the list came from? It seems really hodge-podge.

I've had 59.

Pineapple and cottage cheese is OK... I don't know of anyone that would consider it life or pallate altering.

Ditto on the fruit pie. I'm not sure why Twinkie isn't there instead. Although, there is Moon Pie.

Nina0528 · January 2012

I don't think any food skeeves me out more than cottage cheese (yogurt is a close second). If I had to choose I think I'd rather eat snails or alligator over cottage cheese any day

Nebb · January 2012

I would never eat goat because goats are cute as hell and like to play. I won't eat cute animals.

mehgank · January 2012

Duh, I've had sweet potato fries. Not sure why that one got left on there, I make them like once a week lol.

ETA Correction: Sweet potato fries should have been sweetbreads. I haven't had those.

We watch a lot of No Reservations and Bizarre Foods, so I think that has kind of created our desire to be more adventurous in our eating.

And sorry Nebb, I'm one of those that likes haggis but not fruit pies. They're too sweet. I used to love them as a kid, though.

sb9411 · January 2012

I love TastyKake pies, but Hostess' are way TOO sweet.
I only ever ate cottage cheese with fruit, I can't get it when people eat it on a salad or add pepper to it. To me it's not that kind of cheese. It weirds me out a little bit.

Wiscisbliss · January 2012

If I made my own list it would include cheesecurds. The kind that are so fresh that the still squeak after being deep fried. OMG.

maratea · January 2012

People who have tried 75 or more--what are the ones you haven't tried yet?

I've not had abalone, alligator, bellini, bird's nest soup, black pudding, borscht, crickets, currywurst, dandelion wine, foie gras, frito pie (gag), fugu, haggis, honeycomb, kangaroo, lassi, phaal, prickly pear, shark, snail, som tam, sweetbreads, tom yum and umeboshi.

The only thing on this list I don't ever want to try is frito pie.

I love little pigmy goats. They're so adorable.

Nebb · January 2012

Deep frying curds just sounds unnecessary to me, why you wouldn't enjoy them as is is just beyond me.

DNAtime · January 2012

I have had 55. Which suprised me because several friends of mine have posted this on FB the highest I have ever seen was like 30. Maybe they are just picky eaters.

I loooovveee cottage cheese. I also love good pineapple ( pretty hard to get in CO) so when I travel to a tropical location I eat a TON.

I plan to suck it up and try haggis when I go to Scotland this summer. I avoided it last time, but DH has had and says he likes it.

Do the alligator and kangaroo count if it's in jerky form? Black pudding is delish, shark is good blackened.

mehgank · January 2012

I'm with Raynes, goat in a nice spicy rhoti is amazing. I just had some last weekend. I also like lamb and mutton. And I've eaten buffalo, ostrich, and emu.

Perhaps you've never had really good fried ones? Plain is stellar too, but I just love lightly battered fresh fried curds!

What part of Scotland are you going to? I know a couple places there that have great haggis (one is right on the Royal Mile, the other is in St. Andrews).

And they sell haggis-in-a-can at the William Wallace Monument. :)
