Date: 2008-08-15 07:46 pm (UTC)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.
