meme: what've you eaten?

[rodlox]

gakked respectfully from The Grynne...

Bold everything you've eaten, italic and bold things you've eaten once and never again, italic things you never intend to eat.
(note: you don't have to explain any of them)

1. Fresh fish (oddly, no - we froze and then cooked the fish even when we caught it live)
2. Lobster

40. Australian meat pie (anything like a Shepherd's Pie?)

No, it's a thick soup (like mushy peas if memory serves), with a pie floating in it.

Sorry, randomly wandering through the Primeval comm's friends page!

[rodlox]

interesting.

and no need to apologize.

if you count Chinese and Thai restaurants, though some don't

Two in one! What a bargain. :)

Australian meat pie (anything like a Shepherd's Pie?)

Not really... It's much smaller, and looks like this, and when it's good, it's very, very good. And this is a Cornish pasty.

stared at one in a store, and nearly bought it...but I couldn't smell anything, so I left it alone

No, the smell isn't noticeable until you've cut it open.

Malukhiyah (??)

It's a greenish coloured, herb flavoured Egyptian soup.

Whitchetty grub (which one's that?)

Desert grub. It's a staple source of fat and protein for Australian aborigines.

*nods* and they're outnumbered by the Korean and Vietnamese restaurants.

many thanks, on both of them.

not sure I can find an Australian meat pie around here, but I'll keep my eyes open for it.

oh.

ah. the only soup I had in Egypt (that I recall) was noodles in warm milk.

>Desert grub.
seen it on tv, then.

You need to get yourself some prawns now. And mango.

[rodlox]

I should've had some either overseas or up in Baltimore - both had fish markets. I'll check the grocery stores, though that's probably cheating.

I may've tried a sliver of mango, not sure; either way, I wouldn't have counted a sliver.

[sororcula]

No mango! Oh my.

I want to do this, but since I'm a vegetarian I think there'll be a lot of unbolded items left on it. :-)

ETA: oh, also I wanted to add that I have never had durian but have always wanted to try it! Some day.

does the ?? mean you have no knowledge of Cornish pasties or just aren't sure you've had one...

Presuming the first it's a type of savoury pastry which tends to be semicircle shaped as it's folded over - contains meat and veg. Very filling! Sure I've heard they originally got taken to work by miners and other manul labourers, good solid lunch item.

Not too sure that list is as adventurous as I'd imagine it could be. There's no offal on it for starters, not that I recognise name of. And there's way more awesome fruits and veg to taste. I remember fondly Ugly (or Ugli?) fruits from a trip to Israel but alas the ones they import here have all been nothing like it.
