10 Thoughts for food:
How fun--I just did it and I had tried 75, which is pretty scary but I traveled a lot for work and ate a lot of weird things! Thanks for posting the link. I do need to make you a bellini though (yum!) but I won't serve you Spam!
Hahaha I'm quite proud of my 57 out of 100... 75 is amazing! 30 acceptable ;)
Not to nag, but is ther going to be another BBM?
I've tried 47...though there are a couple that I *think* I may have tried but can't remember, so I left them off. This is a fun list...and only a few that I think I would NEVER try!
Should I admit I had SPAM for lunch? And you must have a fresh/hot Krispy Kreme donut!
Deb, that's a pretty good number, indeed!
I figure that my 31 or so is one I can live with. I grew up in a very small town, with no culinary ambitions (every single thing served contained meat!), the only ethnic influences were Irish, Polish, German or Italian-American. Then, I became a vegetarian before I moved to California. Add to that I don't drink alcohol...that number's not looking too shabby.
I've had 'virgin' mocktails, but never the original. As for Spam, I grew up around it...my Grampa served in the Navy during War, after all...but have managed to avoid it so far!
Lexi, I think 57 is definitely a number to proud of!
All I can say is...stay tuned!
chefsara, I agree. There are lines I won't cross!
I suppose there's a chance I may have eaten rabbit as a child, but was so traumatized by the revelation (you know, some adult smugly asks if you like the 'chicken', only to reveal you're actually chomping on your formerly hoppy friend) that I've blocked the memory!!
Mrs. L; hee, it's ok. No one judges here!
My salon is located RIGHT NEXT to a Krispy Kreme. And they have a drive-thru. A Drive-THRU!
The smell of sweet fried dough is endlessly tempting, but I truly can't stomach that kind of sugary intensity. But I was there yesterday, and oh...it does smell good.
My total was 58 (I think) - it's been fascinating reading everyone's lists!
I'm amazed at some of the things people have eaten...so many of those I never even had an opportunity to try, at least for most of my life.
And as I mentioned, not drinking or eating meat seriously cuts down on my list...
