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."

What feldman said, more or less, although most pasties here have so little meat (and it's so unrecognisable as meat) that you could probably feed them to a unknowing vegetarian without them even realising that it contains meat. Not that I would do such a thing, of course. ;)

Meat pies here are single-serve, usually round or square, made with the same kind of pastry as pasties. The most common are simply full of scary mincemeat and gravy, although you can get them in chicken, beef chunks, and various other meat/vegetable combinations.

The common thread between regular meat pies and pasties is that they're generally served drowned in tomato sauce. ;) And they're the main lunch things sold at school canteens (along with sausage rolls), so many an Australian child has been more or less raised on a diet of their greasy goodness. So healthy! *eyeroll*

To be honest, I'm just disappointed that they didn't include the pie floater (http://thegreenman.net.au/mt/archives/000536.html) on the list. It's a local delicacy! Which only pissheads and foolish tourists lulled into a false sense of security will eat.
