Cthonus: That steak sounds… awful. Truly awful! It sounds like there was a solid idea in there somewhere, though; some sort of stroganoff, perhaps? From the responses I’ve seen, carp isn’t actually as common as you might think.

Mouse: There are deliberately some things you might consider commonplace on the list - I wanted to strike a good international balance, so yours is probably the right response! I consulted with people from all over when compiling the list.

The instructions I got said, in addition to what you’d originally listed, to asterisk stuff we hadn’t tried but wanted to, and to italicize anything we *had* tried but would never eat again. By the time I got done, I had only about 40 items that I had tried and liked or that I was willing to try.

My problem is that I don’t get along well with fish, hot spices, onions or peppers, so that tends to knock a big swath through a list like this

Since I’m an American, which means that you and I are separated by a common language, I’d like to get clarification on a couple of these.

Vodka jelly: do you mean something like a jam, that you would put on toast, or something made with gelatin that university students serve at parties to get drunk?

Hare: is this a synonym for rabbit, or is there a difference?

Kaolin: you mean the clay, right?

Azz: Thanks for the tip. I may put a permanent front-page link to the meme up so people can find it relatively easily, and it’s a subject I’ll probably be returning to as well in future posts!

Steph: There was a limit to how much shellfish I wanted to include, but I’ve had so many suggestions for things I ’should’ have included that I think a Volume 2 may be needed at some point!

Acanthaster: I think there are actually only thee Indian foods on the list, and Chicken Tikka Masala is really Anglo-Indian. Curried goat is Caribbean and currywurst is German. A lot of curry, maybe, but Indian food gets about equal representation to Mexican!

KC (and everyone else who asked): As it’s an ‘omnivore’ list, I wanted to include at least one thing people eat that isn’t actually food or drink. After all, a truly adventurous eater is interested in flavours, textures and experiences. Kaolin is indeed clay, or ‘dirt’ as some have said. It is edible - it can be bad for you, but it’s probably a lot safer than fugu - and it’s full of nutritious minerals. People with eating disorders or mineral deficiences are most likely to have eaten kaolin, but a lot of people are bolding this one because they’ve taken kaolin as a medicine, which I think is fair enough!

IceCreamEmpress: Most harissa I’ve bought has not contained rose petals, so I’m fairly sure it’s an exceptional thing - but maybe some parts of the world favour the rose petals to the exclusion of regular harissa?

Joe: Vodka jelly is what Americans call a Jell-O shot, except I suspect Jell-O shots aren’t always made with vodka, and over here we don’t necessarily have it as a shot. Hare is not the same as rabbit - I’d say hare is to rabbit as goat is to sheep. (Nor do I think alligator counts as crocodile, but a lot of folks disagree with me about that!) And yes, kaolin is clay. See above!

We don’t necessarily do them as a shot here either; the classic method is either to use a flat baking pan (and cut them in squares like bar cookies or brownies) or an ice cube tray. Then serve, eat, and have your resident advisor find you passed out across three men’s room stalls in the morning.

In response to Joe: yes, people do eat crocodile in Australia, where it is indigenous and farmed for its meat and leather.

I had a wonderfully-named “dinosaur burger” at a crocodile park in Northern Queensland. The meat was like a cross between fish and chicken in texture, which I didn’t find terribly appealing and it didn’t have a memorable flavour. Still, a great one for novelty and I can tick it off my list!

Thanks to VGT for setting this wonderful list - and to Chocolate and Zucchini for leading me here. Very entertaining!

Left by Lulu Barbarian on August 17th, 2008

The BBC did a list like this awhile back…in fact much of what is on their list seems to be included in yours.

Here’s the link to my list back then (the original BBC article seems to be gone now). http://snurl.com/3h82m

I’ve had 73 of the 100 here. There are a lot of things on your list that I just don’t know if I care enough to go out of my way to try…Kaolin for one. And well, roadkill is just not happening!

Personally I wish that I had never had a Big Mac now that I know more about what goes into them. It’s far too much a way of life for most of America and McDonald’s was nearly a staple when I was growing up. Everytime I see my nephews scarfing down their burgers and fries I think I nearly die a little inside.

All: Thank you so much for all the kind comments! It’s fascinating to see how the list has evolved since it left my care!

Baralier: Criollo didn’t get a link only because Wikipedia didn’t have one. I probably should have linked to an artisan chocolatier instead!

Crystal King: Now that you mention it, I do remember the BBC’s 50 Things… programme, but I can promise it didn’t directly inspire this list - and thankfully there isn’t much overlap.

Well, somewhat dissapointing. 71/100. I have to say there is nothing on that list I would not at some point consume, though the roadkill would depend on the animal and the circumstance.
I am pleased to say I have eaten insect, one of those fat ant things that fill up with honey. I admit it was chocolate coated. Do witchity grubs count as insects I wonder?
I can not say crocodile reminds me of chicken or fish. In fact, not to be rude, Ifind people who say ’such and such tastes like chicken’ tnd to have an underdeveloped sense of taste. Chicken tastes like chicken, very little else does.
Carp. Now carp is abundant in Australia, our river netwroks are choked with them. No one eats them. In fact when you catch them, you are not allowed to throw them back. You have to let them die. It has often struck me what a terrible waste of an apparently flavoursome fish this is. A Polish friend of mine informs me her father believes this is because Australians do not know how to prepare carp properly, it must be caught alive and allowed several days in a bath tub with regular changed of water to flush out the mud. If anyone has carp preperation instructions, do let us know.

Oh,I forgot to say, I think it does one good to eat a McDonalds meal every few years, to remind one what real food is actually like. To be honest their sundaes are actually damned fine, in Australia anyway.

I’ve eaten only half of the items on the list! It made me realize how little I’ve known about the food world. But I also don’t agree with the list. I think that things like Natto, Octopus, chicken feet, shark fin should be there instead of pocky or hostess fruit pie.

Left by Linsey on August 21st, 2008

Wendy Hutton:

S’mores are traditionally a snack to enjoy while camping here in the states. You need grahm crackers, hershey bar and marshmellows.
What you do is skewer a marshmellow on a stick and roast it over an open fire till it is lightly toasted and gooey on the inside. then you take a couple pieces of the hersey bar, put it on the cracker and sandwich the hot marshmellow between the cracker with the chocolate and another cracker. Enjoy the hot molten goodness of the gooey marshmellow with the chocolate and grahm. mmmm…..

Hostess fruit pie, yes, is a typical American Junkfood. But the blackberry pie is the best of them all.

88 /100. Would probably be way lower if I hadn’t eaten that gross American stuff before I was old enough to know better.

The only item I wouldn’t consider eating is clam chowder in a bread bowl. Haven’t encountered roadkill, crocodile (have had alligator), fugu, or kaolin. Never heard of phall or rose harissa before. I’ve eaten lots of nettles in pasta and soup but never came across nettle tea. Despite major efforts, I have yet to get my hands on poutine. I’ve twice been at sushi bars where they ran out of Kobe beef earlier in the evening, damn it. I don’t remember having had jello shots or a dirty martini but that could be true regardless.

i personally would argue that some manner of mock meat should be on this list, glutenous, soy or otherwise. it seems with so many meats/animal products on the list, it’s only fair to call the omnivore to the task of exploring some of the other ways meat has permeated our culture and palate, in terms of framing our ways of eating other substances, no?

That was fun!! I’m afraid I got a shameful 71% (I think I calculated correctly) and there are some things on the list that I really question. Krispy Kreme? McD’s Big Mac Meal?? It’s my feeling that no self-respecting omnivore would deign to eat those things.

This is not to imply that doughnuts or fast food hamburgers are to be avoided though.

I felt I had a pretty good showing, only 21 items that I haven’t had yet. I’m not sure what the food version of #63, Kaolin, of is supposed to be. The only reference I could find was a mineral which might contain radioactive isotopes. Surely that can’t be right!

And number 37 - clotted cream tea. You never, never, never put cream in tea. Milk, and not full-cream, either. Cream is such a wrong thing to put in tea! (I take it you’re talking real tea, the stuff you get from tea leaves, not that herbal muck).
Tea is too delicate to bear the heavy taste of cream, and clotted cream - oh no! It just doesn’t go.
Maybe fresh English strawberries, picked that morning from a Cambridgeshire farm, with Cornish clotted cream and freshly baked scones.
Now that is nice!

Condiment Queen: I think the alternative lists are linked to in the comments here. I’m afraid I haven’t been collecting them, though maybe I should!

Jay: I considered balut and hakarl as well, but I didn’t want this to be a long list of food dares! There’s a place for a few of those on the list, but I wanted to strike a balance.

Lynne: Your e-mail address suggests you’re from the UK, so I’m disappointed in you! A few Americans have misunderstood the phrase ‘clotted cream tea’, but you’re the only Briton to make that mistake! I’m referring to cream tea made with real clotted cream, just as you describe. It’s often called Cornish cream tea or Devonshire cream tea - but I wanted to avoid that particular bun fight! As for the ‘American’ angle - I’ve responded to that over here, but really I think America is quite fairly represented. There are fewer entries in here from the Americas than there are for Asia or Europe. It’s funny how people’s personal angles influence the way they read a list like this!

Only 49 which surprised me, since I’m open to trying stuff out and have eaten out a lot in the UK and Northern Europe. This led me to assume this was a Northern American list, but maybe it’s just a metropolitan one. A lot of what I’ve not eaten I’ve never actually had the chance to eat.

All of which leads me to wonder how many people are answering entirely truthfully….?

Nice meme, though. Well done.

Andrew,

You posed a very interesting - thought provoking - even revealing list/question - at least for those who think food is more than fuel.

I might hold the line personally at the “drunken shrimp” (Baijiu) - but would first watch someone else eat one. Raw is alright by me - but wiggling?? If there were marinades, wasabi, or the like, to go with wiggling shrimp, I might try one - like my first oyster-half-shell.

I would take Steak Tartare off the “conspicuous comsumption” sub-list. It’s simple to make, even without purchasing a whole tenderloin (as Oliver suggests in his cooking manual) - a single filet mignon would work.

You have a point, though, in that most of us are unlikely to encounter tartare, except in a fine restaurant. My first was served with a quail’s egg.

(BTW I skip the quail’s egg at home)

Julia Child cited round steak for tartare in “The Way to Cook” and she skips the quail’s egg, too).

I will eventually get around to $120 malt - but am having too much fun working up to it. I find it hard to believe that I will like any malt better than Glenmorangie Port Barrel Finished - but am willing to try (might just have one now - or two).

THE LIST UNIVERSE

92/100. I’ve missed on on poutine, phaal, nettle tea, fugu, vodka jelly, and–as far as I know–roadkill. I’d like to try phaal but will cheerfully go without the rest.

Though, having eaten a lot of homemade gumbo in my life, I’m really not that sure about roadkill.

77/78 out of 100, depending on how you define roadkill…meaning, how was it killed, who killed it? I’m not going to say I haven’t thought about hauling a deer into my car if I hit it on an abandoned road, because I very well might. As is, I’ve only ever had one run in with a deer, and it effing ran into my car and bounced off the side.

There is nothing I won’t try once if the opportunity presents itself.
