Fun With Memes -- Part 164

[nekosensei]

Bold the things you've eaten. Italicize the ones you'd like to try. Strike out ones you don't ever want to try.
My memory on some of these things is kind of spotty since I enjoy trying different foods.

1. Venison
2. Nettle Tea
3. Huevos rancheros (I think)
4. Steak tartare
5. Crocodile -- I have tasted alligator. Yum!
6. Black pudding
7. Cheese fondue
8. Carp -- I just discovered today that gefilte fish is carp. Oh, by the way, I tried gefilte fish once, and ugh...never again. It's definitely an acquired taste.
9. Borscht -- Mmmm...borscht. I always get borscht when we go to Russian Tea Time.
10. Baba ghanoush
11. Calamari
12. Pho -- Mmm...pho. This is another thing I'll have to eat again once I go off the rat poison.
13. PB&J sandwich
14. Aloo gobi -- I think I've had this before. I've eaten a lot of Indian food. One of my favorite places is Sabri, which is on Devon in Chicago.
15. Hot dog from a street cart
16. Epoisses
17. Black truffle

30. Bagna cauda -- sounds yummy!
31. Wasabi peas
32. Clam chowder in a sourdough bowl -- probably
33. Salted lassi
34. Sauerkraut
35. Root beer float -- I prefer Coca-Cola and ice cream.
36. Cognac with a fat cigar -- I don't smoke.
37. Clotted cream tea
38. Vodka jelly/Jell-O -- These are jello-o shots, right? If so, I used to have them a lot. *looks in 1koolspud's general direction* :)
39. Gumbo
40. Oxtail -- probably
41. Curried goat
42. Whole insects
43. Phaal -- I'm not sure if I've had this or not.

69. Fried plantain
70. Chitterlings, or andouillette
71. Gazpacho -- Didn't care for it all that much
72. Caviar and blini
73. Louche absinthe -- I'm not sure what the louche is, but I have had absinthe before when it wasn't legal *cough cough* I think it was the real deal. It had wormwood in it. Anyhow, I thought it was supposed to make you hallucinate if you drank a lot of it, but that didn't happen in my case. I just go really really sick. And I don't even like the taste very much. Yeah...I think I'm going to stay way from that from now on.
74. Gjetost, or brunost
75. Roadkill
76. Baijiu
77. Hostess Fruit Pie
78. Snail
79. Lapsang souchong
80. Bellini -- Sounds yummy. Maybe I'll try it after I go off the rat poison.

So...the moral of the story is that I'll try anything once.

Kaolin is clay. It's in kaopecatate.

I had epoisses cheese...it tastes like ass. Haven't had fugu...and never had congac with a cigar but have had separately. I took a herbal medicine with durian in it once...smelled like ass.

Baijiu is like Chinese everclear...so I think I'll skip it.

I've had sambal but not harissa...

And I think horsemeat is illegal in the US. So I'd like to find someone who HAS tried it...

Otherwise it seems my stomach has been around the block a few times.
