5. Crocodile
6. Black pudding
7. Cheese fondue
8. Carp
9. Borscht
10. Baba ghanoush
11. Calamari
12. Pho - haz beef. I've had plenty of other Vietnamese food
13. PB&J sandwich
14. Aloo gobi
15. Hot dog from a street cart
16. Epoisses (...cheese?)
17. Black truffle - not a whole one, alas
18. Fruit wine made from something other than grapes
19. Steamed pork buns - too much doughy white flour and no flavour for me
20. Pistachio ice cream
21. Heirloom tomatoes
22. Fresh wild berries - we had a huge - acres huge - blackberry thicket across the road from one house we lived in
23. Foie gras - my mother likes that kind of shit
24. Rice and beans
25. Brawn, or head cheese - see above re mother
26. Raw Scotch Bonnet pepper - no thanks, I like my taste buds where they are. It's nice in things, though
27. Dulce de leche - as confiture de lait over waffles
28. Oysters - I have literally just developed a taste for them since I've lived in Australia (although we ironically have some of the best oysters back home in NZ). Before then, I thought they tasted like seawater-flavoured snot.
29. Baklava
30. Bagna cauda
31. Wasabi peas
32. Clam chowder in a sourdough bowl - yes, in San Francisco, as well as just fish chowder
33. Salted lassi - it's full of cow's milk
34. Sauerkraut - yum, especially with swiss cheese and mustard on a sourdough bun, or over a frankfurter
35. Root beer float - I've had other kinds
36. Cognac with a fat cigar - so why is the fat cigar necessary here? Blech. I haven't tried any cognac in the last twenty years - I had a bad experience with brandy at a Formative Age
37. Clotted cream tea
38. Vodka jelly

41. Curried goat
42. Whole insects

46. Fugu - one day, hopefully!
47. Chicken tikka masala
48. Eel - nom nom!
49. Krispy Kreme original glazed doughnut - I don't understand what's appealing about them at all. But then I like my sugar to be somewhat diluted (I like cakes, but not so much icing)
50. Sea urchin - or kina, as well call it in NZ. Tastes like seawater-flavoured scrambled eggs. Ok, but not my fave
51. Prickly pear
52. Umeboshi - meh, one of the few pickles I don't like
53. Abalone - paua in NZ. Not my fave either - the flavour is too intense. And I do find black food offputting
54. Paneer
55. McDonald’s Big Mac Meal - McDonald's didn't arrive in NZ till I was 16, and I first went when I was 17, after I was off red meat.
56. Spaetzle
57. Dirty gin martini - don't like martinis, although I like both olives and gin
58. Beer above 8% ABV - half the beers in Belgium, methinks. Mmm, Chimay Bleu!
59. Poutine
60. Carob chips
61. S’mores - hmm, I've had marshmallow melted over a fire. Way too disgustingly sweet.

63. Kaolin
64. Currywurst
65. Durian
66. Frogs’ legs
67. Beignets, churros, elephant ears or funnel cake
68. Haggis - yuk. I don't have an iota of Scottish blood in me, that I'm aware of. Mind you, the Irish hasn't helped with the black pudding, sweetbreads or brawn either
69. Fried plantain
70. Chitterlings, or andouillette
71. Gazpacho
72. Caviar and blini - the cheap kind
73. Louche absinthe - is that a brand or a description?

75. Roadkill
76. Baijiu
77. Hostess Fruit Pie
78. Snail
79. Lapsang souchong
80. Bellini
81. Tom yum
82. Eggs Benedict
83. Pocky - eh, it's a boring sweet
84. Tasting menu at a three-Michelin-star restaurant.
85. Kobe beef
86. Hare - although I've had rabbit, complete with shot
87. Goulash - I don't think it counts if you've had the vege kind
88. Flowers - nasturtiums, borage, blah blah
89. Horse
90. Criollo chocolate
91. Spam - Samoans put it in their chow mein - it's called pisupo (from "pea soup" - the first tinned goods shipped to Samoa was pea soup, and it became the generic name for tinned food) and is a delicacy
92. Soft shell crab
93. Rose harissa
94. Catfish
95. Mole poblano
96. Bagel and lox
97. Lobster Thermidor - eh, why ruin the lobster with all that full-on cheese and cream and shit
98. Polenta
99. Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee
100. Snake

57/100 - not too bad

Yeah, I'm not quite sure how the list was compiled. It is a bit random (I suppose that's the point).

As for the quinoa, should it be on the list, or have I had it? I've definitely had it. Nommy porridge, as well as good for steaming.

It should be on the list for having a weird name. It's not particularly crazy though. As porridge? I've cooked it once instead of pasta which didn't work so well. I'd like to have someone cook it for me so I could see how it's meant to be done.

Deeks bake with it! I only found that out last week. Exciting.
The manager didn't know how to pronounce it (keenwaahh), I am so lear-ned. Yep.
