I have to say, this is a very diverse list! I had to look up Frito Pie and phaal (I detest curry!)
There are 17 things I've never eaten--including two above , pistachio ice cream and chicken/waffles.
Oh, yeah, I've had durian (projectile hurl!), haggis (blech) and sea urchin (take it or leave it). Grandma made dandelion wine and Mom made pavlova, and we grew up camping with Spam. Who else is adventurous?
Oops, you retyped the same thing three times - I’m thinking too much coffee this morning.:cool:
All fixed--I don't drink coffee!
OK, mimosas!:cool:
Durian fruit- no idea
Haggis- I can’t get past the description but I bet it’s served with a good whiskey
Fried alligator I found it rather tasteless and very very chewy.
I describe durian as a cross of putrid onions that fermented in spoiled vinegar and if possible to taste, toe jam or a teen's gym bag...It's illegal to take into a hotel or on mass transit. It's the only thing Andrew Zimmern can't eat (so far as I've seen on TV) Some people adore it (Boss said it was OK) but my durian was as close to jet propelled from my mouth in nanoseconds. Our guide had one in his car and had to wait a while before we could continue on our tour.Quote:

My sentiments, exactly...
PS--I ran out of bubbly 2 days ago. Mimosas are a waste of good orange juice, anyway!
