| At least she's a good sport on New Recipe Night! |
This is a list of 100 rather obscure foods, and we're going to see if we've tried them. I'll go ahead and admit from the start that I had to look up MANY of these!
1. Abalone: No thank you.
2. Absinthe: Nope
Amy: All I can think of it the movie Moulin Rouge, and it freaks me out that I'll see a little green fairy, haha.
3. Alligator: Nope...where do you even get that?
4. Baba Ghanoush: Nope...wow...not a very good record so far...
5. Bagel and Lox: Nope
Amy: I'm a sweet breakfast kind of girl.
Ashley: I'm pretty partial to plain bagels..boring I know
6. Baklava:
Amy: Yes! YUM!
Ashley: Nope not here.
7. Barbecue Ribs: Yes! I feel bad for anyone who has to say no to this one.
8. Bellini: Actually, no.
9. Bird’s Nest Soup: Nope. Had to look this one up. Was appalled.
Ashley: Haven't had it and i'm not brave enough to look it up... eesh
10. Biscuits and Gravy:
Amy: YES! LOVE this stuff. If only it wasn't so terrible for you! (And yes, I just realized that this completely contradicts my previous statement about being a sweet breakfast kind of girl.)
Ashley: I've had it and believe it or not, everyone thinks i'm weird that I do NOT like it... i'm not a fan of any breakfast meats (bacon, sausage...)
11. Black Pudding: No. Another clueless one.
12. Black Truffle: Nope. Isn't this stuff like wicked expensive?
13. Borscht: Another one that scares me for some reason.
14. Calamari:
Amy: Yep, but not a big fan. Weird texture.
Ashley: No Thanks! I don't even like the smell.
15. Carp:
Amy: Probably, but I don't know for sure.
Ashley: Nope, I'm very aware of the type of food I'm eating.
16. Caviar:
Amy: I remember way back in 4th grade we got to try things like this because a parent brought it in. I also remember I had to call my mom to see if I was allergic to any of it, haha. I don't remember how it tasted at all though.
Ashley: Nope...better off giving it to someone else.
17. Cheese Fondue:
Amy: Yep. Made it myself. Rock star!
Ashley: Yep, thats one thing I do like!
18. Chicken and Waffles:
Amy: Nope. I'm such a carb-o-holic, that, if put in front of me, I would probably pick around the chicken to get to the waffles. Kind of like eating only the outside of the corn dog. It's logic.
Ashley: Chicken and Waffles??? Makes no sense to me. Chicken is one food that doesn't go with Breakfast like waffles.
19. Chicken Tikka Masala: Nope.
20. Chile Relleno: Another nope.
21. Chitlins: No, does not sound appealing. At. All.
22. Churros:

Amy: Yes, and it was just OK. I'm not a big crab person.

27. Currywurst: Nope, not a curry fan.
28. Dandelion Wine: Nope.
29. Dulce De Leche:
Amy: Does it count in cake form?
30. Durian: Never heard of it.
31. Eel: Not brave enough for that one yet.
Ashley: Will never be brave enough!!
32. Eggs Benedict:
Amy: For an egg lover, I'm shocked that I have not.
Ashley: I'm definatly NOT an egg fan like my sister!
33. Fish Tacos:
Amy: Quite possibly my favorite kind of taco. Not fried though.

34. Foie Gras: Nope. Not sure I'm classy enough.
35. Fresh Spring Rolls: Nope.

45. Goat’s Milk: And nope.
46. Goulash: I don't think so.

48. Haggis: No thank you. Yuck.
49. Head Cheese: Again, no thank you.
50. Heirloom Tomatoes:
Amy: Yep, tomatoes are finally starting to grow on me.
Ashley: I have tried them, I like tomatoes.
51. Honeycomb:
Amy: I think I tried this on the same day I tried caviar.
Ashley: The only honeycomb I will eat is cereal = )
53. Hostess Fruit Pie:
Amy: Only remember ever being able to eat half. But these were generally off limits in the fridge, because they were for dad's lunch. :)
Ashley: AGREE with Amy!! I didn't like them though because I don't like pie.
54. Huevos Rancheros:
Amy: Another shocking no for my egg-lover self.

Amy: Nope, not a big mushroom person.
Ashley: I can't even stand the thought of a mushroom.
64. Nettle Tea: Nope.
65. Octopus: Can't stand the way it looks.
Ashley: I cant even try it because its just a cute sea creature.
