Why yes, I'm a foodie!

So I've seen this list make its rounds of many blogs out there and figured I'd take a turn. I consider myself a foodie and having lived in 4 different countries on 3 continents I've eaten quite a variety of foods. There are a number of foods I've seen on this list that few people have tried but due to my being Indian and having grown up in Thailand, have been foods I are regularly. Growing up in a very international community helped a lot too!

The rules are as follows:

  • Bold anything I've tried
  • Cross out anything I'd never try (bold and crossed out means I have tried it and never again!)
  • Italicize anything I want to try

1. Venison
2. Nettle tea
3. Huevos rancheros - Why have I never eaten this? This must be remedied at once!
4. Steak tartare
5. Crocodile - Didn't taste like chicken, if I recall.
6. Black pudding - I'm claiming this one - there's a Thai variation
7. Cheese fondue - Melty cheese? Anytime, anywhere!
8. Carp (as in Koi fish? hmmm... not that I'm aware of!)
9. Borscht
10 Baba ghanoush - Love it!
11. Calamari
12. Pho - Can I bold this twice?

15. Hot dog from a street cart
16. Epoisses
17. Black truffle
18. Fruit wine made from something other than grapes - Blackberry wine is delicious drizzled on vanilla ice cream! Good in the glass too.
19. Steamed pork buns
20. Pistachio ice cream
21. Heirloom tomatoes
22. Fresh wild berries
23. Foie gras
24. Rice and beans
25. Brawn, or head cheese
26. Raw Scotch Bonnet pepperI'd like to KEEP my tastebuds in working order, thank you!
27. Dulce de leche Mmm.. love the homemade version!

Nice list. I think having lived in so many places is a bit of an advantage?

Mmmmmmmm...escargot. I keep trying to recreate my first experience with it in Spain, but it's never been that wonderful again. Still really tasty, don't get me wrong...but that restaurant did something special to those snails...

I would probably be one of the very, very few for whom Big Mac would be on the "never had it, never want to" list. :-)

Saw Baklava being made on a cook show just yesterday and thought how long since I'd had it.
