[gemfyre]

The definitive list

I have NOT eaten.

Thai Food - Well, I'm not sure. I think Thai food is too hot for me.
Clam Chowder - I have eaten seafood chowder however.
Cream Tea - Nope, it seems that this is the same as Devonshire tea which I certainly HAVE had.
Alligator - I am likely to try crocodile during my stint working up north however.
Guinea Pig - WTF? Hey, I'll try anything once. :)
Reindeer
Durian
Haggis

I've eaten haggis a few times, well, my mum is scottish so it was bound to happen. It's not as bad as people say it is, but still, don't expect anything yummy, 'cause it's haggis. Heh.

Thai food is excellent, and thankfully, extremely variable in the spectrum of taste sensations to be offered. Pad thai (a noodle dish) is not hot, but extremely flavorful, and well worth your time. I also recommend the chicken satay with peanut sauce - Thai peanut sauce is heavenly.

I'll post my own reply to this on my LJ ... I've eaten TONS of different foods.

I second the remark about the thai food.

I dunno if I'd try guinea pig... I MIGHT. I'll leave it at that. : P

Durian (http://www.syzyx.com/koguma/album/Satok/durians.jpg) is a weird kinda fruit (the picture's from a friend of mine who lives in Malaysia). Evidently it's really "heaty" stuff and can give you a sore throat, and you're not supposed to have it with alcohol or you'll die!

Durian is apparently one of those foods that you think is heavenly or that you think tastes like the most disgusting thing on earth.

Apparently it smells bad to everyone.

I've had Pad Thai! I hate satay though.

Durian is ick, it tastes like hospital smells. Haggis, however, is okay.

Guinea pigs are commonly eaten in latin america, especially among poorer people. They let them scuttle around the kitchen eating vegetable scraps. When they get big enough it's time for the pot.

Mind you, latin american guinea pigs are really quite huge compared to the pet variety...

If you get a chance get a copy or borrow from the library "In the Devil's Garden: A Secret History of Sinful Food"... It's great!
