Food (It's What's for Dinner!)

[jheti]

Foods. They interest me.

From nateprentice.



From Some UK food site:

Here’s a chance for a little interactivity for all the bloggers out there. Below is a list of 100 things that [the OP thinks] every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life. The list includes fine food, strange food, everyday food and even some pretty bad food - but a good omnivore should really try it all. Don’t worry if you haven’t, mind you; neither have I, though I’ll be sure to work on it. Don’t worry if you don’t recognise everything in the hundred, either; Wikipedia has the answers.

Here’s what I want you to do:

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 here at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.

NOTE: I'm not going to reconstruct a million links to Wikipedia; you're a bright bunch and most of you type a good deal faster than I can, anyway. XD

I'm not going to bother putting this on my own journal, 'cause hey, look here's the list of things I have eaten:

13. PB&J sandwich - gross, but I like PB sandwiches
35. Root beer float - not a fan
41. Curried goat - if I'm to have curry, which I love, I prefer it to be chicken
47. Chicken tikka masala - not the best kind of curry, too sweet and bland
49. Krispy Kreme original glazed doughnut - I don't get the fuss, but I've never had one hot. I think no doughnuts are as good as Dillons doughnuts, and Dillons is just the Kroger-owned basic grocery store in Kansas. Why is no one else's bakery competent? Krispy Kreme donuts gross me out.
61. S’mores
67. Beignets, churros, elephant ears or funnel cake - funnel cake (not a fan), and churros from Taco Bell (also not a fan, but that may be the Taco Bell in them)
94. Catfish - probably, when I was very young; in general I don't eat fish

And the list of stuff that would be crossed out? Most of it.

You might like baklava, unless you hate nuts? It's basically flaky pastry drowned in honey with nuts inside; it's vaguely Middle Easternish. Goes well with curry foods. *crunch crunch crunch* ^_^

[nyohah.livejournal.com]

Eh, hate honey. But otherwise it sounds nice.

[nateprentice.livejournal.com]

Gotta try haggis. It goes down easier if you don't know what it is made of.

[jheti.livejournal.com]

It's sheep gutses inside a sheep stomach with...uh...? Stuff? And they boil it or something. At least, I think that's haggis.

How is it? *Is curious.*

It CANNOT be any grosser than the French duck liver thingie, which was a hideous waste of the bacon it was wrapped in. *Shudder.*

[nateprentice.livejournal.com]

Tastes like liver. With oatmeal.
