There seems to be a lot of things I have never even heard of! I’m pretty adventurous when it comes to food, but obviously I need to spend more time in ethnic restaurants!
How about you? What have and would you try?

That’s an interesting list! I am pretty open to trying all sorts of new things (unless they turn my stomach), but my new motto is, “if it is not healthy, and I might really love it, I better not even try it.” I don’t need any new cravings!!
However I try each and every new fruit or veggie I find at the Farmer’s Market.

I am not adventurous at all when it comes to eating. When I went on a mission trip I took a lot of powdered milk and weetbix in case I could not handle the food in Malawi.

I also did this meme a while back. It is pretty interesting.
The one thing you crossed of your list we used to eat a lot of as kids - black pudding - my parents are Scottish so what can I say???
