100 Foods To Eat Before You Die

[ScottSingleton]

did this on Facebook today, 85 for me.

Best one on the list? Abalone -- found it when I was living in Chile at a seashore restaurant. Made my day!

I hit 59. I still don't get the fascination with black truffle. Ok, it's good but I can't say I think it's so good it should be $100/lb.

Saffron is also pretty pricey (by weight) but you never hear anyone complaining about that. They are similar in that a tiny bit goes a long way in terms of flavor.

I haven't had black truffle on its own before, but I've had stuff with black truffle in it, and I have some black truffle oil. Even just a drop or two of that in a dish is more than enough to infuse an extremely rich flavor throughout. I have never had them straight even though I have seen it from time to time on menus, because I feel like my palate would be fatigued too easily from the flavor.

I'm at 70 and counting. To be honest I feel I should have more since I consider myself a foodie.

I also think Bone marrow should be added to the list, rich beef flavor without all the pesky chewing you have to do with steak. I purchased a couple bones from the store the other day and the cashier said,"Oh I give those to my dogs too, they love 'em huh!" I told her they were for my roommate and I and she gave me the most disgusted look. Damn shame.

I have always wanted to try sweetbreads.

Hey Wolfhound sweetbreads are amazing. Couple weeks ago I had the best sweetbreads I have ever had at a gastropub here in Dallas. give them a go, you wont be disappointed.

[bobbrews]

4th place so far at #87...Also did this on facebook awhile back.

And I'm a professional chef so Yooper, Gila, Brad... you're good!!

 

[JeepDiver]

76, with 4 or 5 that I could have but won't.

 

[Brad1775]

I think my reason for having tried so many comes from a high school group of friends, we challenged each other to find weird and awesome stuff, and/or spicy stuff, often challenging chefs. is my affinity for that which led me to say "what haven't I tried yet?"

I want to get on America's next top chef or something. I'll have the booze beer and wine side of things covered, and being super tall and bi-polar they are sure to get some kind of outburst.

 

[rjwhite41]

54 and a bunch of I don't remember but I think so options

 

[EoinMag]

69 --good number, dinner for two already

The worst of them and something I really don't understand the love for was the durian, it smells like the gas stove has been left on and tastes a bit like sweet truffles....not in any way appealing to me.

Who made this list? I've had all but four of these: Bellini, Pavlova, Phall, and Som Tam.

Honestly, much of the stuff on this list is not that great. Here are some that I was particularly disappointed by:

Bird's Nest Soup (expensive and boring)
Curryworst (German food made even worse)
Chitlins (the worst part of the animal)
Eel (a crappy version of snake)
Snake (a crappy version of fish)
Foie Gras (most overrated food ever)
Hostess Fruit Pie (WTF?)
