I've seen this on a few blogs lately, and since I can't seem to get a thought or time together enough for a real post, I've got this. It came from Very Good Taste, and if you want to play yourself, just:
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.
4) Optional extra: Post a comment at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.

Some of the things on this list seem to be there just because the name sounds exotic, but it's interesting to see how many of them I have tried - 58 if we're counting the alligator as crocodile. Some of the ones I haven't tried are either news to me, or just out of my price range. And truthfully, my "never consider eating" items all have disclaimers. In the right circumstances, I will try just about anything once. If I were a guest in a mongolian yurt (god that would be so cool) I would eat whatever they put in front of me. But given the choice, I don't eat organ meats, painfully hot food, insects (that I can see), or things that smell like they've been dead too long (durian & roadkill). But if this guy hands me a plate of haggis you can bet your ass I'm gonna eat it and enjoy it.
