   Some of these things give me the heebies of the jeebies! Just thinking of them gives me the David Elsewhere wiggles!

   White castle burger (slider), taco, pizza, pancakes, flans, duck, calves liver (and onions), Crawfish, Jambalaya, sate (any kind) and most of all sauterne (preferably YQuem).

   Ok then – here’s my list:

   Venison – not that uncommon here
   Steak tartare – on toast with raw egge yolk and chopped onions :p
   Crocodile – it’s gooood!
   Black pudding – Danish variant; blood sausage. Fried w/cinnamon and sugar
   Cheese fondue – :p
   Borscht – Yummy!
   Calamari – try it w/ tzatziki
   PB&J sandwich
   Hot dog from a street cart – Danish style…
   Black truffle – you don’t eat this alone. Last I had it with a scallop…mmmmmm
   Fruit wine made from something other than grapes
   Pistachio ice cream – when made right it’s VERY good!
   Heirloom tomatoes
   Fresh wild berries – wild straw-, rasp-, black-, and blueberries
   Foie gras – I’m not fond of this. too blubbery
   Brawn, or head cheese – Danish and Russian variants from pork or veal
   Oysters – sampled; I’ll have it again!
   Wasabi peas
   Clam chowder in a sourdough bowl – so good!
   Sauerkraut
   Root beer float – with coke instead of the horrible root beer
   Cognac with a fat cigar – I’ll pass on the cigar, but cognac, armanac or calvados are good!
   Clotted cream tea – in Cornwall; good!
   Oxtail – as soup
   Curried goat – homemade by an Indian friend. Incredibly good!
   Goat’s milk
   Single malt whisky – YES!! Islays in particular!
   Chicken tikka masala – is there any bad Indian food?
   Eel – I prefer fried over smoked, very different than other fish. Try it!
   McDonald’s Big Mac Meal – I’d rather have a GOOD burger!
   Beer above 8% ABV – Beer is good! Period!
   Currywurst
   Frogs’ legs – it’s good, but what’s the fuss about?
   Gazpacho
   Caviar and blini
   Snail – no taste, but the mushroom and garlic it was served with was good
   Tom yum – is yumyum!
   Eggs Benedict – at a hotel breakfast buffet
   Hare
   Goulash – never had the spicy variant
   Horse – I was about 7yo, but I liked it!
   Soft shell crab – In sushi (maki)
   Bagel and lox – good on any white bread…

   Some things missing:
   Sushi – good, fresh made sushi!
   Scallops – light fried or in a dish – so good!
   Tzatziki – Greek yogurt w/ garlic & cucumber
   Thai ice tea – perfect with Thai food
   Pizza – good, fresh italian style

   And as for the caviar and blinis, try blinis or bread with e.g.
   lumpsucker roe, chopped, red onion and a bit of sourcream, as a starter…
