1. Fresh fish - Well of course I've eaten fresh fish many times and hope to do so a lot while I'm in Broome. I intend to go fishing as often as possible.
2. Lobster - Lobster is nice, but I don't see why there is so much hoo-ha over it. It's way too expensive.
3. Steak - There are people who haven't had steak?
4. Thai food - Apparently I have tried some Thai food. Pad Thai is okay. I don't like satay.
5. Chinese food - There are people who haven't had Chinese food?
6. Ice cream - GOOD ice cream, like Gelare or Great Australian Ice Creamery or Cold Rock.
7. Pizza - I've had good pizza and I've had really crappy fast food pizza.
8. Crab - I adore crab. Again, in Broome hopefully I will get the opportunity to eat loads of mud crab. *droolz*
9. Curry - I have discovered that a good non-hot curry is AWESOME.
10. Prawns - Again, it's crustacean/seafood. It's gotta be good.
11. Moreton Bay Bugs - Another of the overpriced crustacean/seafood goodies.
12. Clam chowder - I haven't eaten clam chowder but I have had some lovely seafood chowders.
13. Barbecues - Barbecues are a little to crunchy for my liking, all that iron and bricks. Food cooked ON a BBQ however is great and an Aussie institution.
14. Pancakes - Who hasn't had pancakes?
15. Pasta - Who hasn't had pasta?
16. Mussels - Now we move onto the mollusc seafoods. A big bowl of garlicy, tomatoey mussels is awesome. And they look like girly bits!
17. Cheesecake - I have tried some very, very good cheesecake in my time.
18. Lamb - Apparently eating lamb isn't commonplace in the U.S. It is in Australia. "We love our lamb". So do I, especially roasted.
19. Cream tea - After looking it up I found this is the same as Devonshire Tea - the ol' tea and scones with jam and cream. I'm not big on tea but the scones are great.
20. Alligator - If I get the opportunity I'll try it. Maybe while I'm in Broome I'll get the chance to try crocodile.
21. Oysters - Another of the fabulous mollusc seafoods. Over in Ceduna we got half a dozen, half Kilpatrick, half Florentine. I adored the florentine. I prefer my oysters (and all of my seafood) cooked.
22. Kangaroo - I'm an Aussie, of course I've eaten roo! :) One wonders why the sell some as pet meat then charge a fortune for the stuff for human consumption - what's the big difference?
23. Chocolate - Mmmm, chocolate... Cadbury's or Lindt thanks.
24. Sandwiches - What's so great about sandwiches? Like pizza - sandwiches can be REALLY good or REALLY bad.
25. Greek food - Greek food, Lebanese food, Moroccan food. It's all awesome.
26. Burgers - Yes, I have eaten burgers (I made myself one last night). Again, some are really good and some are really bad.
27. Mexican food - Me love Mec-i-can. So long as it's not too hot.
28. Squid - Sweet Lips light & tasty squid legs. *droolz*
29. American diner breakfast - I take it this is bacon, eggs, tomatoes, hash brown, sausage, mushroom etc? Yeah I've had that, but not at an American style diner. Screw paying $11+ just for breakfast, I'll make my own thanks.
30. Salmon - I have eaten salmon, but not much. If this means freshwater salmon, I'm not big on freshwater fish, tastes too muddy. I like my seafoods.
31. Venison - Mmm deer. Venison and roo meat are very similar.
32. Guinea pig - If I had the opportunity I'd give it a go. I'll try anything once.
33. Shark - Shark is one of the cheaper fish available in Aussie fish & chip shops. I wonder why it's such a delicacy in the U.S.
34. Sushi - SUSHI!SUSHI!SUSHI!SUSHI!SUSHI! *craves*
35. Paella - I made a paella a couple of weeks ago. I would like to try a proper Spanish paella however.
36. Barramundi - I had a big barra fillet for dinner a few nights ago.
37. Reindeer - Give me a steak, I'll eat it. :)
38. Kebab - As in yiros kebabs? How many times have we been to Nick's and Plaka's guys?
39. Scallops - My favourite mollusc seafood.
40. Australian meat pie - Again, can be really good or really bad. Cheapo frozen supermarket pies have been found to contain large amounts of offal, foreign meat and mouse shit. The offal and foreign meat I don't have a huge problem with, the mouse shit I do. Then the South Australians go and dump on a pile of mushy peas and douse it in tomato sauce and call it a delicacy - sickos...
41. Mango - Had it a last Thursday - made a salad involving mango and avacado - good stuff.
42. Durian fruit - I'm not sure if I would try this or not. I'll have to smell it first then decide.
43. Octopus - Occy is good, but not as good as most shellfish. (Yes, occy is technically a shellfish, if you define shellfish as a mollusc).
44. Ribs - I so need to have those BBQ Hawaiian ribs again.
45. Roast beef - Who in their right mind hasn't had roast beef? With horseradish and Yorkshire pudding and swimming in gravy! Mmmm.
46. Tapas - Turns out if you've eaten finger food, you've eaten tapas.
47. Jerk chicken/pork - I've eaten beef and roo jerky, does that count?
48. Haggis - I'd probably try it once. No idea if I'll like it or not.
49. Caviar - I've had fish roe on sushi. But never actually had a spoonful on a cracker or anything.
50. Cornish pasty - I don't like pasties much. I prefer a meat pie. ;)

He's a nut. But a good nut. And he cooks yummy food.
On Saturday's here there's this looong cooking show on in the afternoon (it's 3 or 4 hours worth), really it's various cooking shows all shown one after the other. I call it "Saturday Afternoon Food Porn". Ainsley's show is one of the ones they show.

If you ever come to Singapore, I'll volunteer to bring you to eat durian. They aren't all equally pungent, some are less than others. Plus some are more sweet--and those usually don't have such a strong smell--it's like smooth custard!
