Kool thread. I have had at least 74-76 of these. Maybe more but didn't know. For example squirrel. May have had it in Mexico, no lie.

 

[Frankiesurf]

I have eaten 79 of 100.

I may have eaten more but the asian names confuse me.

 

[itsme6582]

52 plus maybe up to a handful I'm not quite sure about.

 

[Yuri_Rage]

59

 

[thatjonguy]

Looks awesome to me. Now someone (me) should do it in a week. But the absence of beer is troubling.

 

[tonyc318]

63 for me.

 

[Billybrewer09]

57+ for me..

 

[Yooper]

I did that on Facebook, and ended up with 90.

The oddest thing is that I've many of those in the last 30 days! Raw oysters was a staple on the Gulf Coast, and there were some good Japanese and Vietnamese (and Thai) restaurants as well.

Just in the beginning of March, I had sushi several times (with weird cooked baby octopus), raw oysters, gumbo, alligator, BBQ ribs, calamari, Tom Yum soup, and so on. That is NOT my typical diet, but I loved it all!

Venison is one of my daily staples, so it doesn't really "count" for an odd food for me while morels are just getting ready. But as a hunter-gatherer it's commonly had for us.

 

[queens1130]

85 total for me. Where is the list of 100 beers to try before you die?

 

[gratus fermentatio]

I'm at 65 things & counting; but then I have far more than just 100 things to try.
Regards, GF.

 

[Clann]

Ha, I thought I was doing good at 35

 

[two_hearted]

79 for me.

 

[IrregularPulse]

Ha, I thought I was doing good at 35

Same here at 34 Guess I need to get out more.

 

[quick5pnt0]

Damn I feel bad now (not really) Ive maybe five of them. Honestly I don't see much on that list that makes me want to run out and try it either.

 

[edmanster]

I'm at 28

 

[thepartsmancometh]

I had 55, but I'm Taking that out of 88 (due to food allergies, there are some I can't have)

 

[friday]

47 and gator is something you really need to try.

 

[HawksBrewer]

-6 here. Wait, I'm confused, was it supposed to be a positive number?

 

[Shooter]

There are only about eight things on that list I've never had. Now, that doesn't mean I LIKED all the ones I have tried. While I enjoy goat quite a bit, I can do without drinking their milk, thank you VERY much!!!

 

[A4J]

I'm at 66, but there are a few I didn't count that I could've. I've had dried durian before but didn't count it.

 

[passedpawn]

64. I've had crickets! (I didn't count any of the far east stuff, prolly had some of it but no memory for the names).

 

[Homercidal]

37. Not too bad considering I live in the boonies and never traveled much. Many of them wild critters or junk food.

I think this is a cool list! I might have to hunt down recipes or places to buy some of this and try them.

I'm kind of disappointed that spam is on there. It's neither special or rare. And many would discount it's tastiness.

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

I've had 96 of them. Muti-cultural household.

To this list I would add;

Tripe Satay, Cabeza Taco, Blood Bone soup, Roti Chanai, Air Batu Champur as some other food to try before you die.

 

[Wolfhound180]

80 for me. I have always wanted to try sweetbreads.

 

[stikks]

85 total for me. Where is the list of 100 beers to try before you die?

[weirdboy]

Only tried 85 so far.

Looks like I've got still got some work to do.

12. Black Truffle
15. Carp
16. Caviar
26. Crickets
28. Dandelion wine
30. Durian
48. Haggis
51. Honeycomb
62. Morel Mushrooms
63. Nettle Tea
69. Pavlova
70. Phaal
79. Rabbit Stew
89. Som Tam
92. Squirrel

I have had Rabbit, but not Rabbit Stew. I have been close to trying Durian a couple times, but it smells so hideous that I couldn't get myself to put it in my mouth. I have had vindaloo but not phaal, mostly because vindaloo is spicy enough for me; I don't need to go beyond that. But I suppose if that were the only thing left on my list, I could tolerate it just to cross it off.

 

[Rivenin]

58 here

 

[wolfstar]

68 and counting....

 

[Dawnhulio]

I have tried and enjoyed 58 of these. What you may find interesting is that my hubby's dad owned a popular drive–in (a la A&W) called the Frost Top in Billings, Montana, several years back. He grew up there, making homemade root beer... and until he met me had not had the distinct pleasure of enjoying either a root beer float, or a BLT.
