but whatever. Found this at www.JustHungry.com, a site I love!
1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
1. Venison
2. Nettle tea
3. Huevos rancheros
4. Steak tartare
5. Crocodile
6. Black pudding
7. Cheese fondue (Duhr. We have a fondue party at least once a year--with cheese, chocolate, and meat/oil)
8. Carp
9. Borscht
10. Baba ghanoush (even though eggplant makes my tongue swell up a little...)
11. Calamari
12. Pho (This is my favorite food. If I could eat only one thing for the rest of my life, it would be Pho.)
13. PB&J sandwich
14. Aloo gobi (I get it in little boil-in-bag packs and eat it for lunch a lot)
15. Hot dog from a street cart
16. Epoisses
17. Black truffle
18. Pistachio ice cream
19. Heirloom tomatoes (has anyone else noticed how much most tomatoes suck these days? I feel like I haven't had a good tomato in years.)
21. Fresh wild berries
22. Foie gras
23. Rice and beans
24. Brawn, or head cheese (Sorry, I just can’t. Though I love a good terrine—a kind of head-to-toe pate type thing.)
25. Raw Scotch Bonnet pepper (Uh, I’m not a dumbass.)

27. Oysters (Gimme gimme gimme oysters raw, fried, in po’boys, loaf, gimme gimme gimme)
28. Baklava
29. Bagna cauda
30. Wasabi peas (rather overrated imho)
31. Clam chowder in a sourdough bowl (not in the bowl, as that seems kind of dumb. You can’t butter it!)
32. Salted lassi (Yes. Ew.)
33. Sauerkraut (not a big fan)
34. Root beer float
35. Cognac with a fat cigar (Please, a cigar is not food)
36. Clotted cream tea (I’ve had clotted cream, at teatime, does that count?)
37. Vodka jelly/Jell-O
38. Gumbo (but I pick out the okra)
39. Oxtail
40. Curried goat (I don’t like goat. Tastes too goaty. Bleh.)
41. Whole insects (uh, no, sorry. I will NEVER try a bug.)
42. Phaal
43. Goat’s milk (once again, yuck. Too goaty.)

45. Fugu

57. Beer above 8% ABV
58. Poutine
59. Carob chips (ugh, but WHY would you ever eat them again?)
60. S’mores
61. Sweetbreads (I think I might have had them, but I can’t be sure, so I left it off…)
62. Kaolin (Nope, not suffering from pica.)
63. Currywurst (I don’t even know what this is. Googled it and found out it’s a sliced German sausage with curry on it. Also the name for a stinky whore.)
64. Durian (nope. Even though we can get it in our neighborhood!)
65. Frogs’ legs
66. Beignets, churros, elephant ears or funnel cake (uh, what about Zeppole? Come on, who doesn’t like fried dough?)
67. Haggis (oh gosh. Not yet, but I think I might like it. It’s kind of like a hot pate!)
68. Fried plantain
69. Chitterlings, or andouillette (I don't love pig intestines. Can taste WAAAAY too much like pig poop.)
70. Gazpacho
71. Caviar and blini
72. Louche absinthe (nope, but I’ve had tincture of Wormwood, which is similar.)
73. Gjetost, or brunost
74. Roadkill (oh come on!)
75. Baijiu
76. Hostess Fruit Pie

79. Bellini
80. Tom yum
81. Eggs Benedict
82. Pocky (I love Pocky—everything from the pink strawberry kind to “Pocky for Men,” a dark chocolate, toffee kind)
83. Tasting menu at a three-Michelin-star restaurant (yeah, I wish…)
84. Kobe beef
85. Hare
86. Goulash
87. Flowers (Nasturtiums are very nice in a salad)
88. Horse
89. Criollo chocolate
90. Spam
91. Soft shell crab

I did a project in college that involved insects in human nutrition, so I can actually claim #41. For what it's worth, dry-roasted mealworms taste exactly like Doritos. (Does this make you vaguely nervous? It does me.)
Fun list!
