Which ones haven't you tried????
Just a thought-
The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs and ham breakfast:
the chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed' http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

So far I think I'm doin' okay. Forgive me but there are only a few things on the list that seem somehow exotic. Most items seem rather ordinary. Someone should talk to the BBC's office chef. http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
What I'm missing:
11
20
22
32
36
40
42

Personally I find this whole list very strange. I mean they left off chocolate chip (w/walnuts) cookies, popcorn and gumbo... what kind of food list leaves those off? http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emotic...n_confused.gif
So Randy I see you've tried tapas and haggis, what is that and what do they taste like... and Randy if you say chicken, I will hurt you! http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Tapas: Sort of Mexican/Spanish do-it-yourself hors d'oeuvre. Tapas Bars have sprung up everywhere. Your table is served numerous small bowls of a variety of ingredients. You mix them up yourself to suit your own imagination and usually wrap them up in a small tortilla. Very tasty and depending on your ingredient selection, very healthy.
Haggis: hmmm... how do I put this without making you... well... queasy. http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emotic...n_confused.gif You take a sheep or a calf. Slaughter it. Mince the internal organs, including lungs, liver, heart along with the meat of the animal. Add onions, spices, herbs and some sort of corn or oat meal. Stuff it into the animal's stomach and boil it until cooks thru. http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif The dish is Scottish, sort of like a meat loaf.
If you can get past what it actually is and how it's cooked it can be really good depending on the herbs and spices one uses.
I live in SW Suburban Midlothian, a Scottish suburb. Every fall during the annual Scottish Fest Haggis is on the menu. Although by the time we arrived for the festivities last year they had run out. I was unable to have my annual dish of Haggis. http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emotic...on_biggrin.gif

So haggis is a Scottish dish, from your description http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif, I'm betting it's served with something else from Scotland...whiskey! http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emotic...on_biggrin.gif

Left on my list is: 11,22,36,37,40,42.
We had haggis at wedding in Scottland, I thought it was more sausage then meatloaf. Tapas makes a wonderful cheap dinner if you ever travel in Spain. Just remember that you pay more if you sit down to eat, instead of standing at the bar. The cream tea and american diner breakfast are my favorites on the list. But then again I am not a big fan of chocolate.

Hmmm... are these the foods that are most likely to CAUSE you to die? Looking at the first few items, I could see this as a possibility, with all the E. coli and 'mad cow' stuff going around. http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

I've done quite well with this list - haven't tried 20 but have tried crocodile which I presume is quite similar?? - tastes like chicken), 32 (I would of thought they would be quite bony), 37, 42, 47 and 48 and don't intend to try 48 ugh!)

Vicki I don't see #11 on your "left to try" list, I'm assuming that means you find Moreton Bay bugs appetizing http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emotic...n_rolleyes.gif, soooo do they taste like chicken? http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emotic...on_biggrin.gif
