It's fun posting this list because it tends to surprise people who know I'm a vegetarian with a lot of food allergies, and am picky. But I scored 45/100, and a lot of those things are pre-veggie...and in the case of PB&J sandwiches, pre-peanut allergy. :)
1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions. 2) Bold all the items you've eaten. 3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating. (I think it's pretty obvious which things I would never consider eating, based on my eating style! So I didn't cross anything out unless it was something I'd never want to be around OTHER people eating.)
1. Venison 2. Nettle tea 3. Huevos rancheros 4. Steak tartare 5. Crocodile 6. Black pudding 7. Cheese fondue 8. Carp 9. Borscht 10. Baba ghanoush 11. Calamari 12. Pho 13. PB&J sandwich 14. Aloo gobi 15. Hot dog from a street cart 16. Epoisses 17. Black truffle 18. Fruit wine made from something other than grapes 19. Steamed pork buns 20. Pistachio ice cream 21. Heirloom tomatoes 22. Fresh wild berries 23. Foie gras 24. Rice and beans 25. Brawn, or head cheese 26. Raw Scotch Bonnet pepper 27. Dulce de leche 28. Oysters 29. Baklava 30. Bagna cauda 31. Wasabi peas 32. Clam chowder in a sourdough bowl 33. Salted lassi 34. Sauerkraut 35. Root beer float

42. Whole insects 43. Phaal 44. Goat’s milk 45. Malt whisky from a bottle worth £60/$120 or more 46. Fugu 47. Chicken tikka masala 48. Eel 49. Krispy Kreme original glazed doughnut 50. Sea urchin 51. Prickly pear 52. Umeboshi 53. Abalone 54. Paneer 55. McDonald’s Big Mac Meal 56. Spaetzle 57. Dirty gin martini 58. Beer above 8% ABV 59. Poutine 60. Carob chips 61. S’mores 62. Sweetbreads 63. Kaolin 64. Currywurst 65. Durian 66. Frogs’ legs 67. Beignets, churros, elephant ears or funnel cake 68. Haggis 69. Fried plantain 70. Chitterlings, or andouillette 71. Gazpacho 72. Caviar and blini 73. Louche absinthe 74. Gjetost, or brunost
75. Roadkill 76. Baijiu 77. Hostess Fruit Pie 78. Snail 79. Lapsang souchong 80. Bellini 81. Tom yum 82. Eggs Benedict 83. Pocky 84. Tasting menu at a three-Michelin-star restaurant. 85. Kobe beef 86. Hare 87. Goulash 88. Flowers 89. Horse 90. Criollo chocolate 91. Spam 92. Soft shell crab 93. Rose harissa 94. Catfish 95. Mole poblano 96. Bagel and lox 97. Lobster Thermidor 98. Polenta 99. Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee
100. Snake
There's also a few half-tries...like, I eat bagels all the time, but I've never tried one with lox. Lobster; no Thermidor. Lassi; but unsalted. Pho; but I made it myself and it probably wasn't authentic at all because there was no beef in it anywhere... |

That's actually a pretty strong list from a vegetarian perspective, even with some coming in pre-veggie. :-)
It's true! I just counted: 32 of my 'tried' are vegetarian items.
That coffee is expensive as heeellllll.
I know--my dad looooooves it, though, so he gets it when he can. We picked up a bunch on our honeymoon in Jamaica, 'cause it's cheaper to buy it there than to have it shipped!
I keep thinking about it every time I order coffee, but every time I'm afraid of it spoiling me.
71 for me, with the only thing I wouldn't try being the cigar with the cognac. (In Maine it's common to eat a deer if you hit and kill it, so roadkill is in.)
You tried a bunch of stuff I never tried before, which means I have more eating to do!
I've eaten an awful lot. Roadkill included -- a pheasant. It was tasty.
