[MA-Caver]

Not a fan of these shows but I've watched enough of Bizarre Foods and Man Vs Food to know what I DON'T want to even think about trying. Admittedly many on the list I've never heard of ... but it doesn't mean I'd want to try them. Maybe that's being narrow minded but I'm more of a meat and potatoes kinda guy... occasionally I'll wiggle my nose and eat a good hearty salad (that I made personally) ... but even then that has bits of meat in it, ham-steak-chicken-shrimp-bacon. I know that I should broaden my palate more so to not go quite as hungry. But being poor one learns to eat, lean.
Just going to list what I have tried.

[Dirty Dog]

The ones I haven't tried yet...

9. Birds Nest Soup
18. Chicken & Waffles
19. Chicken Tikka Masala
28. Dandelion Wine
30. Durian
41. Fugu
55. Kangaroo
95. Sweetbreads
97. Umeboshi

So I've had 91% of them. There's a number of those things that I'll never try again, but I do try to eat local foods wherever we travel.

Let me add that the best fish tacos in the world can only be found at a little food cart that's always parked in front of a strip mall on the south side of Playa del Carmen. We always stop there on our way back from diving in the cenotes.

 

[Sukerkin]

At first glance there seems to be an American bias in the list, I'll know in more detail once I've worked through it . Some of them I've never even heard of and I am not exactly poorly versed in such matters.

Some of them I am very well versed in e.g. Black Pudding (the very idea is horrible but my missus loves it), Haggis, Chicken Tikka, Cognac (surely that's not really a food ), Dandelion (and Nettle (plus Nettle Tea)) Wine ...

But some of the 'branded' stuff I can't say whether I have or not (that's the stuff that made me initially think there was an American bias as it leapt of the page at me).

Sorry, old man-the only "American-bias branded" item on that list is a "Moon Pie," which is, after all, a Moon Pie.

Oh, and I guess I'm at 96%, not 92....damn night shifts, anyway.....:lfao:

 

[crushing]

Dang, I should have bought the Kangaroo jerky when I had the chance last summer.

 

[granfire]

who made that list?
Biscuit and gravy next to Abalone and Kobe Beef...and what's Lassi? Other than a male Collie playing a female one....

Of all the odd things on there...I missed horse on there...

(and Cognac is brandy, just the kind originating from the province of Cognac and as such trademarked and the French get very sore should you call mere brandy 'Cognac', just as Champagne - which I did not see on the list either - has to originate from Champagne, or it's just a bubbling wine, champenoise, but not the real thing)

hmmmm Curry wurst....I think I need to amke me some sauce for when I throw my brats on the grill!

When Sue and I were in the UK to get married, I got her to try the black pudding. By not telling her what it was...

Now she won't try things unless I'm willing to tell her what they are. She actually thought it tasted fine, till I told her what it was.

On the other hand, she used to tell me that she didn't like mushrooms. I maintained that it was only because she'd never tried the right ones. I don't consider mushrooms on pizza as eating mushrooms.
Got her to try some different mushrooms while we were there, too. Now she understands...

 

[Bob Hubbard]

When in doubt, google it.

 

[Jenna]

You have all extremely varied culinary habits (compared to me anyway ). Can I ask do you cook all these things yourselves or are there restaurants? Thank you.

 

[Bob Hubbard]

I'm trying to figure out pho. Some stuff I cook, other times it's dine out.

 

[Jenna]

The crickets and the snake did you cook these yourself or did you dine out on those? I cannot imagine putting these things in my mouth eww. I think whoever compiled that list subscribes to the dictate.. if it moves, eat it.

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Dine outs, though I do believe the cricket was covered in lots n lots of chocolate.

 

[Jenna]

Dine outs, though I do believe the cricket was covered in lots n lots of chocolate.

And you were sober and had no contraband substances in your system when you enjoyed this delicacy? I think you and these other people commenting above are surely adventurous And can I ask are these things in the 100 foods above what you normally eat? And which would you never eat again having tried once? Thank you

 

[Sukerkin]

What sprang off the page at me was such things as Heirloom Tomatoes, Hostess Fruit Pie, Pastrami on Rye, Philly Cheese Steak, Mimosa etc i.e. things I consider American (even tho the Mimosa is actually an English cocktail originally (I think) it always puts me in mind of the Southern States, don't ask me why), whether they are or not is a different matter. Once I started picking my way through the list line by line the bias diminished.

EDIT: :lol: This was supposed to have been a quoted response to Elder - I made a foxes paw there (head too full of RTU voltage information, that's my excuse )

 

[granfire]

I actually had to google 'Mimosa' come to find out I had it many of times...we just called it 'orange juice and champagne'

Do we have to send a CARE package with hostess cakes?
