100 Foods To Try Before You Die
How adventurous an eater are you?
I like to think I'm pretty adventurous. I've seen this list going around on Facebook, so I had to google it and check it out. How many have you tried? To the best of my memory, I think I have tried 72 of the 100. Some I just don't think I could and some I just haven't been exposed to. A few I even had to google to see what they were. I think the Asian foods are the weak link for me. Here's my list. What's your number?
1. Abalone - No. I would try it though if given the chance ... edible sea snails ... if you were wondering.
2. Absinthe - No, too creepy.
3. Alligator - Yes
4. Baba Ghanoush - No. I may have had this and forgot, but I might make this just to cross it off. Yum!
5. Bagel & Lox - Yes
6. Baklava - Yes
7. BBQ Ribs - Yes
8. Bellini - Yes
