I'm not very daring when it comes to food, obviously... especially seafood. It was fun reading about all the food items I've never even heard of. Most didn't do anything for my appetite though. I guess I'm not much of an omnivore.

We had pho for dinner. I always order it for takeout from our local Thai restaurant when I feel a cold coming on. Interesting list...I do think you are reasonably adventurous. There are many things there I would never try.
You see that guy who has eaten like 2 big macs a day for many years??? Whew ...
However ... never the original Krispy Kreme?? Masochist. Man, those things melt in your mouth!!! MAybe it IS good not to touch them !!!
I don't know what half those foods are! I can't believe you have eaten Hostess Fruit Pies and not Krispie Kremes - girl, you don't know what good is.
I'm not very adventurous, either, but I have eaten haggis - more than once, actually.
Maybe I should do this meme, too.

I would definitely not have too many on this list, especially lately....
99 sounds good-too much work for me tonight but I will say that I used to eat raw hamburg out of the package when I was a kid.-I guess that I didn't really think about what it was that I was eating.
