1. What is the most adventurous food you've ever tried?
Recently, probably seitan, which I try again when I see it and it's different that I've seen before. Gardenburgers are fairly adventurous in their own right.
2. What is the most adventurous food you'd be willing to try?
I think that I'm willing to try anything new that's vegan.
3. Would you have a problem eating dog meat and why or why not?
Yes, I'm vegetarian.
4. For the most part, do you consider your diet to be balanced?
Yes, for at least the most part. It could be a lot better with some effort, but I think it's good.
5. Which is more appealing- being a vegetarian for the rest of your life or being a strict carnivore for the rest of your life?
A vegetarian... I'm a vegan now. Also, a strictly carnivorous human would have a very short life.

not my favorite, but I'll try to answer it honestly. Sorry, I don't have enough belief in superstitions to have many funny answers.
1. Do you follow any cultural superstitions (e.g., avoiding the number thirteen, picking up pennies)?
none that I can think of.
2. Do you have any personal superstitions (e.g. wearing a certain item of clothing to bring you luck)?
I don't really understand luck as able to be directly influenced. If it's luck, it's essentially psuedorandom and humans don't understand how to directly affect it. That said, I've often considered myself 'lucky'. That just means I've had several successive fortunate events within a short period of time. Maybe they're generally related to efforts that I've made, but they weren't individually predictable. Luck is not spirituality or religion.
3. Did your parents have any superstitions? What were they? Do you believe in them?
not as such.
4. Make up a new superstition and share it with us (who know, maybe it will catch on!).
why? I'd rather I helped to eliminate superstitious beliefs. There are many valid beliefs in related fields with which they compete.
5. Did you notice the date today? Does it affect you at all (e.g. make you nervous, make you happy)?
I'm amused by the beliefs about it, and it's a ready humorous excuse for mistakes.
