The Omnivore's Hundred
Everyone seems to be doing this one...
Thanks to
montuos for finding the original!
Very Good Taste
The rules have had some additions in these three days, which I will keep.
1) bold those you have tried
2) strikethrough those you wouldn't eat on a bet.
2a) Italicize any item you'll never eat again.
2b) Asterisk any items you'd be interested in trying but have not yet.
Personal note - there are several things I won't eat, or won't eat again, because I know they don't physically agree with me. I am not noting them, as I think that's an entirely different issue than disliking them (or the idea of them.)
1. Venison
2. Nettle tea (I can get nettles at Greenmarket - maybe next year.)
3. Huevos rancheros
4. Steak tartare (Actually, I just tasted someone else's. I remember the presentation and production more than the taste.)
5. Crocodile
6. Black pudding
7. Cheese fondue
8. Carp
9. Borscht
10. Baba ghanoush
11. Calamari
12. Pho
13. PB&J sandwich
14. Aloo gobi
15. Hot dog from a street cart
16. Epoisses
17. Black truffle (I've had things flavored with it, which never did much for me...)
18. Fruit wine made from something other than grapes
19. Steamed pork buns
20. Pistachio ice cream
21. Heirloom tomatoes
22. Fresh wild berries
23. Foie gras
24. Rice and beans
25. Brawn, or head cheese
26. Raw Scotch Bonnet pepper Cooked, I've had. I've cooked with them myself. Raw??!!
27. Dulce de leche
28. Oysters
29. Baklava
30. Bagna cauda - not sure. Possibly as an appetizer? I've had a recipe and thought it looked interesting for years, but a bit oily for me, perhaps.
31. Wasabi peas
32. Clam chowder in a sourdough bowl Each separately - not sure if together. I don't much care for the whole bread bowl thing - I dislike the texture.
33. Salted lassi
34. Sauerkraut
35. Root beer float
36. Cognac with a fat cigar
37. Clotted cream tea* - I've had the stuff they call Devon Cream here - which I understand is pretty far from the real thing. Never had a chance at a Cream Tea in Britain - I'd like to, someday.
38. Vodka jelly/Jell-O
39. Gumbo
40. Oxtail
41. Curried goat
42. Whole insects
43. Phaal There's a good local source for it - but I want to keep my tastebuds, please!
44. Goat’s milk
45. Malt whisky from a bottle worth £60/$120 or more - Don't know. I've tasted, and disliked, a fine variety of good whisky. My scotch drinking friends are now satisfied that the original theory - that I hadn't had the good stuff - is untrue - I just really don't like it. Edit - I'm told I definitely have had this.
46. Fugu
47. Chicken tikka masala
48. Eel
49. Krispy Kreme original glazed doughnut Eww...
50. Sea urchin
51. Prickly pear
52. Umeboshi
53. Abalone
54. Paneer
55. McDonald’s Big Mac Meal
56. Spaetzle
57. Dirty gin martini I dislike martinis I don't think an olive will change that.
58. Beer above 8% ABV
59. Poutine
60. Carob chips
61. S’mores
62. Sweetbreads
63. Kaolin
64. Currywurst
65. Durian
66. Frogs’ legs
67. Beignets, churros, elephant ears or funnel cake
68. Haggis
69. Fried plantain
70. Chitterlings, or andouillette*
71. Gazpacho
72. Caviar and blini
73. Louche absinthe
74. Gjetost, or brunost
75. Roadkill
76. Baijiu
77. Hostess Fruit Pie
78. Snail
79. Lapsang souchong
80. Bellini
81. Tom yum
82. Eggs Benedict
83. Pocky
84. Tasting menu at a three-Michelin-star restaurant. * sure, why not...

87. Goulash
88. Flowers
89. Horse
90. Criollo chocolate

96. Bagel and lox
97. Lobster Thermidor*
98. Polenta
99. Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee
100. Snake
Not too shabby...
