TOP 50 THINGS EVERYONE SHOULD TRY A BITE OF IN THEIR LIFETIME
Bold the ones you've eaten. Italicize the ones you dislike.


01. Alligator
02. American diner breakfast
03. Australian meat pie - which sounds so good. I love things with "meat" and "pie" and maybe a little bit of egg buried like a treasure.
04. Barbecue
05. Barramundi - someone tell me what this is?
06. Burgers
07. Caviar
08. Cheesecake
09. Chinese food
10. Chocolate
11. Clam chowder
12. Cornish Pasty - mmm, pasty. Is it really pasty?
13. Crab
14. Cream tea
15. Curry
16. Durian fruit - this can't be real. This sounds like STAR TREK food. "Captain, I made your favorite! Leola root puree with durian fruit and topped with whipped isiscolo!"
17. Fresh fish
18. Greek food
19. Guinea pig - I did NOT know they were for eating. It makes sense, though. I mean, what else are they for?
20. Haggis
21. Ice cream
22. Jerk chicken/pork - three things I don't like! in alphabetical order!
23. Kangaroo
24. Kebab
25. Lamb
26. Lobster
27. Mango
28. Mexican food
29. Moreton Bay Bugs - honestly, I can't remember. I think these are crawfish and if they are, I et 'em! If they ain't, I ain't. Oh, god, no. This thing is scary-ass. Vvvah. But, I bet, tastes like alligator. Or snake! Mmm.
30. Mussels
31. Octopus
32. Oysters
33. Paella
34. Pancakes
35. Pasta
36. Pizza
37. Prawns
38. Reindeer - but I feel like I'd LOVE it. I like gamey food.
39. Ribs
40. Roast beef
41. Salmon - allergic!
42. Sandwiches
43. Scallops
44. Shark
45. Squid
46. Steak
47. Sushi
48. Tapas
49. Thai food
50. Venison - so how does reindeer taste in comparison to venison? "tastes like reindeer."

Barramundi is... a big, predatory fish. Thing. Ish. I've never had it, but I saw it in Sydney.

I had barramundi just last weekend! Tasty.

Meat pies can be good (I have no idea how they differ between here and elsewhere), but most of them are pretty foul. They used to have them at school, and the mince would be this really bright brown, and it would drip out everywhere, and... gross. Never could bring myself to eat one, although I'll quite happily munch away on the offally goodness of a sausage roll. However, pies with chunkier meat (and not from the el cheapo companies) are good. Don't generally have egg in them, though.

I never even knew that most places in the US didn't sell pasties until I read American Gods.

Oh, this is an INTERESTING meme! I think I'll steal.

you don't like ice cream? i'm not entirely sure what to do with that thought.

Reindeer compared to venison? Oh SO much better.

I believe, though I am not positive, that my Mum has had Durian fruit. She spent part of her childhood in Penang, near Singapore, and Durian fruit comes from South East Asia, so I read. It's not the kind of thing that grows in orchards here in the UK!

I think it's supposed to be horribly, horribly stinky. But to taste quite ok!

Where'd you eat alligator? Did you wrestle it first? Apparently ostrich and reindeer are now things that can be gotten from any upscale butcher--which stuns me. Oranges at christmastime are impressive enough.
