I’ve had out 28 of the 100. Some of these things are actually edible? Crazy. Some sound like a challenge on Fear Factor. I don’t think I’m as adventurous like Sarah, but I sure thought I was. I have some dining reservations to make!
You need to make time to have fried green tomatoes. They are awesome! Also, key lime pie! You could actually make this pretty easily!
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, you're not missing much w/ either chile rellenos or Moon Pies.
I've had 41 of the things on that list - although some of those were just tastes!
ReplyDeleteBorscht is beet soup, by the way. My husband LOVES it, and I've tried it but ICK! It is NOT my thing! Has a weird metallic smell... and, well, BEETS!
Haha, I'm not an adventurous eater at all. I was surprised I had eaten so many things on this list! I can't believe you've never had fried green tomatoes--you're missing out on so much deliciousness! (But then again, I've never had frito pie...)
ReplyDeleteBorscht is beet soup. Not at all scary. It just tastes like vegetable soup with lots of root veggies.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I have to ask you from #20 - do you live in Texas NOW? I did not know this?
ReplyDeleteAnd I am not a fan of polenta either, just for the record. Bleh.
