100 Things to eat before you die.

[IronWing]

I don't know of any restaurants that serve kangaroo meat ... .

There's a place here. I never tried it but the joint's hopping.

 

[Cerb]

58 if I counted right.

Agreed a lot of them are asiany (who eats wasabi peas other than Japanese people?)

Pretty much anybody who likes horseradish and walks by wasabi peas in an unsealed container will at least try them. Oh, and wasabi peas, along with pocky, are so exotic that you can get them at Walmart.

What do you have aginst abalone? You really should try it, it is quite good. There is a stew that is made with it that I'm fond of.

It is the idea of eating snails. I realize it is irrational.

Where is here?

 

[BurnItDwn]

Where is here?

I thought he was from Punnsville.. I could be mistaken

 

[Imported]

Haha. I figured that out after reading the second part..

 

[Fern]

I've had 84.

I've had the opportunity to eat some of those I didn't, but am not interested. E.g., haggis.

The only thing on that list I do want to try, yet have not, is Absinthe.

Shit, I'd finished that list by the time I was 26. What else ya got?

 

[BladeVenom]

Actually, you can almost certainly pick up a bottle in your local liquor store now. Look for Lucid, it is the real deal made with grande wormwood and quite tasty. I have a bottle in my liquor cabinet right now.

I haven't tried any of the newer brands. I settled on Jade, Pernot, and Devoille a long time ago. The Czech stuff was horrible, the Spanish bottom shelf, and the Swiss use to be hard to get.

 

[BladeVenom]

55. Kangaroo

Just isn't served anywhere I've been.

I've had kangaroo steaks before. It was like a nice cut of lean beef.

 

[TechHead87]

No ramen?

 

[shortylickens]

1. Emma Watson
2. Dakota Fanning
3. Taryn Summers
4. Zooey Deschanel
5. Patty Cake Online
6. Andrea Bowen
7. Pending.....

 

[shortylickens]

From the above list I have had 30 things.

 

[HAL9000]

I guess you've never watched/read Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsey, Heston Blumenthal, or a million other British chefs?

KT

You're right, I hate chef programs, why they are famous is beyond me.

[xSauronx]

[lxskllr]

I'm not counting cottage cheese and pineapple cause I hate cottage cheese, and pineapple won't fix it.

 

[LiuKangBakinPie]

WTF? I'm still Googling at what half of that shit are

 

[KK]

Where is the bacon?

 

[bfdd]

It's easier for me to count the things I haven't eaten, than it is the things I have eaten.
