You ate horse meat? Ewwwwwww. (Grandma told me about eating it during the war, when there was nothing else available - but you're not as old as she was, so 'fess up, where'd you eat it?)
58.5/100, but only if you count crocodile and alligator as one beastie and give me half for bagels (allergic to fish). Another point for Keefie's deep fried Mars bar. Yum! And I've paid for Jamaican Blue Coffee -- does that count?
I had horse sashimi in Korea, I think it was-- it was a dreadful color, as I recall. I once ate fugu in Japan, but only because to have refused it would have been to insult a dear friend. Had an allergic reaction but didn't die. =)
Why do PB&J and pistachio ice cream make the list? Are they weird?
This is a fun post which I'll have to do. I can't believe that a lot of people have never had a Steamed Pork Bun - it's a staple Chinese dish.
Jayne: It was a horse-meat sausage. In France.
I am inexorably reminded of the line from Blackadder the Third: "Zis sausage is verrry suspicious. If I did not know betteur, I would say zat is waz an 'orse's willie."
Did mine here
