Most of the meat ones I crossed out are just things I didn't get around to trying before I became a veg. Personally, I think it is all equally disgusting - if you're going to eat cow, I do not see the difference in eating horse. I'm just sayin'.
1) Copy this list into your blog, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.

1. Venison (Growing up, Dad was quite a hunter)

16. Epoisses I changed my mind on this one. I was thinking of crottin de Chavignol, not epoisses. Though I'd be willing to give it a try.

62. Sweetbreads If I was going to eat meat, I would definitely eat these
63.
64.
65. Durian (The stinkiest fruit on earth. Quite honestly. Like a mixture of diaper explosion and natural gas. I am not exaggerating. Tastes ok, but I'd rather eat a cherimoya or sapote, both of which are quite similar, without the stench.)

I don't know what some of these things are. Like what is harissa? What are epoisses?
You've never had a s'more, really? Mmmm, the ones you have while camping are just so good. (In fact, I've had them when not camping and it's just not the same).
Smores *are* over-rated, little tiny frog legs at this one Chinese restaurant in Bandung, Indonesia are the best things on earth and durian is stinky. It's so stinky, in fact, it's not allowed on flights in lots of SE Asian countries. I don't even know how it gets shipped anywhere, actually, since so many people find the odor so revolting. However, it is one of my favorite fruits in the whole world.
But I can't fathom the whole bug eating.
Yeah, clay? I mean, I've heard of starving pregnant women in Haiti eating those dirt/clay/water cookies out of desperation, but that's more super-sad than it is meme material.
Hmmm. Is some other group of people eating clay and I'm just unaware? I'm gonna shake google like an eight-ball until it gives me an answer.
there is so much on this list i've never even heard of, much less tasted and i thought i was pretty adventurous in my eating. i'm pretty impressed that you've had Paneer (huh?) but never a S'mores. That's something.
Going to argue with you on s'mores. We had them everytime we went camping. Of course, it was a couple of years ago and you probably don't remember. especially good with a slice of cold red apple on them.
You are a lot more adventure prone than me. Lots of those things I never have heard of and some I sure as heck wouldn't try. No grasshoppers for me.
Elvie - but I think I was too impatient. I would just eat the hershey bar and toast the marshmallow LOL
i've had almost everything on the list except sweetbreads.
the chef at my work has three stars so i'm counting that!
I didn't know what some of those things were too. I remember eating root beer floats as a kid. I forgot all about those....
Wait - you would NEVER eat steamed pork buns? Why? Talk about missing out. Char shui bao (steamed chinese bbq pork buns) is one of my favorite things.
I suppose I can get over it, but wow. No pork buns for you?
@nonlineargirl I am a vegetarian. I agree that char siu pork is one of the best things on earth, though.
You are pretty game.
I'm having a bizarre relationship with Durian. I thought I was pretty well informed about food, but had never heard of it until reading about it maybe two weeks ago on Steamy Kitchen (she made ice cream with it, and also talked about the stench.)
Since then I'm seeing it written about all over the place and heard it mentioned on a random TV show.
I hope the universe is not telling me to try it, because it has some terrible press surrounding it.
I couldn't even see straight long enough to read your post. Your tagline got in my way. I HEART YOU HARD.
I draw the line at bugs, haggis, and sweetbreads. Have had everything else.
Haven't had breakfast yet, and now I am strangely craving s'mores. THANKS.
Ok, that makes more sense. Somehow that did not occur to me (despite living in veg central).
Dim sum is so much less fun for vegetarians, unless you make it yourself (but then to get the full effect you must get one of those roly-carts and wheel it around the dining room).
Peanut Butter, bacon and pickle...man i want that right now. I'd kill for that. In fact, I'm going to go write a post about it right now. :)
