Today's earlier and briefer entry is here.
I got this from golfwidow, who got it from someplace else, and like she did, I'm making up my own rules (sort of.)
According to the BBC, these are the 50 foods to eat before you die: (the idea is to cross out the one's that you've eaten)
Fresh fish - When the Hubs was a fisherman, pre-vegan, I
had bass fresh-caught by his own hands, at Squam Lake, New Hampshire.
Lobster - Mm, love the lobster.
Steak - Yes, but not a fan
Thai food - Just once, I believe, in Wales last March, of all places.
Chinese food
Ice cream
Pizza
Crab - I like crab. Crab legs are the default order at the Red Lobster.
Curry - Just a few times. R has made it once or twice since she's back in
the U.S.
Prawns - Shrimp, right? One of my favorite foods.
- Moreton Bay Bugs - Don't know what this is, don't want to.
Clam chowder - Yes, but not the Manhattan, that's icky. Just the New
England.
Barbecues - I grew up and live in the suburbs. Barbecues are unavoidable.
Pancakes
Pasta
Mussels - A few times, not a fan
Cheesecake - Big fan
Lamb - Lamb chops are one of my favorite foods
- Cream tea - Don't know what this is, but it sounds good.
- Alligator - Okay, here's a story:
On the Senior Class trip about 5 years ago, we were all at a street fair where
all kinds of foods were being offered up at kiosks, and one of them was
alligator on a stick. One of the boys walking alongside our group of teachers
said he might like to try it, and his friend immediately came back with "Euu,
how can you eat something like that out?" and I said "What, you only
like alligator the way mom makes it at home?"
Oysters - Once, didn't like them.
- Kangaroo - No, but R ate some in Australia and found out later what it was;
she had been petting kangaroos in the zoo that morning and cried.
Chocolate
Sandwiches
Greek food
Burgers
Mexican food
Squid - I came to it late in life, but I love fried calamari. With blue
cheese dressing.
American diner breakfast - It's a New Jersey classic, you know. I am very fond of diner breakfast for dinner.
Salmon
- Venison - I've had few opportunities to eat animals they don't sell in
supermarkets, and that's just fine with me.
- Guinea pig - Ditto. Eeuu. How can people eat animals that are generally kept as pets?
Shark - For the first time a few months ago. Nothing special.
Sushi - But I don't care for the fish sushi, just the veggie
Paella
- Barramundi - no idea what this is, except for what golfwidow and the empress said.
- Reindeer
- Kebab - This must be something other than food on a stick, so no.
Scallops - I can take 'em or leave 'em.
- Australian meat pie
- Mango
- Durian fruit
- Octopus
Ribs
Roast beef
- Tapas
- Jerk chicken/pork
- Haggis - R had some haggis at the Boy Scout Jamboree in Chile, of all
places, six years ago.
Caviar
- Cornish pastry
