I found this on a food blog. This (British) food blogger thinks every omnivore should try all of these 100 items at some point. Fun to play...

So I cheated a little, but that brings my total to 53. What's yours?
By the way, this wasn't as good of a way to spend my feeding time as I thought. By now Regin has pooped in his underpants (and we've really been making strides again with his EC) and spread tiny veggies, mayo and boiled egg yolk all over the room. Bummer.

Hmmm... 39. Ok, English lesson for you Elisabeth: carp is a type of freshwater fish (ok, so thats not really specifically English... or maybe it is I don't know) and shame on you for not knowing this: english cream teas is a scone with jam and clotted cream (and generally served with tea) YUM! There is LOT of American foods on there, considering it was done by a British blogger. I'd have crossed off raw scotch bonnet peppers myself - surely not worth the pain?
you have had plum wine.
Mine is 46. The ones that are internal organ type foods are crossed out for me.
Aaaakkk! Ok, I KNOW that carp is a fish! George also thought I meant I didn't, so he told me so too. What I meant was... I have no idea if I have ever eaten it! :P
As for the lack of knowledge of clotted cream, Caroline, you must remember... When I left the UK I was not even 17. I didn't like tea. 'Tea' for me meant little more than 'supper' or Lipton's Instant Iced Tea (blech). Which by the way is served in COUNTLESS restaurants here as "lemon tea." Blech, blech! Anyway, I was going by the link to cream tea on wikipedia, so I guess I was wrong, but I'm still keeping it because I had my fair share of scones too.
And as George says I have had plum wine, so I guess that makes at least 54.
Teddi, you are such a weenie. :P
Please also tell me you crossed off the bugs and road kill???
Ummm, yeah I crossed off bugs and friggin ROAD KILL, lol!!
60! Although I'm highly unlikely to try the ones that I've missed on that list.
(and I bet we've all eaten whole bugs w/o realizing it. Yuck! Lol!)
