71.
I’ll eat anything.
I’m at 84…it could be higher (I honestly don’t know what a few things on the list are, its possible that I’ve eaten them). This seems to be an incredibly arbitrary list and fairly USA-centric, too.
@3– British, actually. But yes, that’s true.
Does any else besides me really enjoy Brussel Sprouts? I know they have a bad rap, but I personally find them to be delicious…
Brussel Sprouts
…are on the list, with asparagus and red meat, of having the tendency to make men’s, well, im not sure how to put it. As such they are avoided (as if that made any difference to me currently).
Man, there’s a lot of food up there I have never even heard of… Aloo gobi? I keep sing that in my head to the tune of “hello dolly”.
@6, I thought asparagus was just with pee, not what you are referring to. But I suppose that if it is strong enough to effect the pee, it probably can effect other things in that department, too. And even if it does make “men’s, well, im not sure how to put it” taste bad, since when do men care what women think of the taste of that? I’m sure it’s not going to deter you from asking for it. If so, you’re the most considerate male ive ever encountered.
I was sent this the other week after `100 Things to Do Before You Die’ co-author Dave Freeman died. (along with notes like #101, ‘don’t trip, fall, and hit your head at home…’ It’s a listserv with a warped sense of humor.) I wasn’t sure if this was posted in response to that or just kind of a tribute that occurred before his death?
Word to the wise about making arbitrarily enumerated lists of things to do. You’re tempting fate to choke you with a Brussels (ahem) sprout.
Pwnage! But I gave a link, so tie goes to the runner. Or something.
@ 8 You have no idea the lengths I have gone to to ensure a pleasant and quality experience for any participant I may be so lucky to be with. Diet is just one small bit of it…
But seriously, what is Aloo Gobi, besides a british bathroom in a desert? Dont make me google.
/pass the fresh pineapple, dave.
@11: It’s a dry, Indian curry that usually has potatoes and cauliflower.
Aloo gobi (from Punjabi), also spelled alu gobi, or aloo gobhi (from Hindi आलू गोभी) is usually a “dry” Indian curry, i.e. it often does not have a liquid sauce. It is a popular combination of aloo (potato) and gob(h)i (cauliflower) with spices. It is yellowish in color, because of the use of turmeric, and occasionally contains kalonji (sometimes called “onion seeds”) and curry leaves. Other ingredients that are also used in variations include garlic, ginger, onion, coriander stalks, tomato, and cumin. A number of variations and similar dishes exist, but the name remains the same.
Damn. Now Im craving indian food.
Some of that spinachy muck on a slice of garlic nan? Oh hells yes.
indian food
“Native American” is the preferred nomenclature. “First nations” in Canadia.
You are setting me up to make a marginally racist joke. I will refrain.
/shall I call you a pirate, or do you prefer “buccaneer american”?
do you prefer “buccaneer american”?
‘European-descended interloper” is how I self-identify.
Anyone who eats foie gras is a going to hell. Hopefully, a hell in which that person will be force fed to until he or she goes into septic shock so that some asshole in a fancy restaurant can order his or her enlarged liver, diseased liver.
Don’t forget fried bologna on white bread with mustard and American cheese!
I chuckled over Mike Vick, and I think the process of Foie Gras is pretty bad.
Which spot in town serves the best PB&J sandwich?
I’m also at 71.
@19 if that’s so, then it is truly worth burning for eternity. By the way, there are some farms that don’t force feed the geese and they come running at mealtime.
(and isn’t that what most Americans are doing on a daily basis, but paying for it one big mac at a time?)
@122
i assume Blue Moon.
@ List
Look, Shen, they have your POUTINE. Had the hardest time in Quebec and Montreal persuading them to leave off the yucko cheese-curd and just serve me good-ole southern diner fave fries-n-gravy, wet fries.
Hard to get fries and gravy now that Charlottesville is no longer a Southern town. Cavalier Diner on the Corner used to do them well. I’ve had good ones, in fact i’ll go have some today, at that diner-like place near Foods of All Nations. The ones at Blue Moon are a tad contrived, upscaled…
nice to see eggs benedict, the brunch-of-champions, on the list. now that southern culture and blue bird are closed, where are the best in town… don’t MAKE me drag my shabby arse to Keswick/Clifton/Boar’sHead.
71 out of 100 – can’t say I have tried a whole insect before and no desire to eat roadkill – although this is VA and roadkill is on the menu in some places… Where the hell is the chicken fried steak? That is a must!
Where can I try some frog legs?
@24: You’re insane. The cheese curd is the best part! I need mushroom gravy though, no beef stock for me.
Poutine is the shit.
@25
i see this working out well, as i scoop that foul bovine excrescence off mine and into your own bowl
(milk? i have been weened…)
@27: Cheese is my cocaine. I’ve been trying to give it up for awhile but alas to no avail.
IT’S SO EFFING GUD!!!
I can’t quit you…
And brussels sprouts are yummers with some heavy cream and garlic.
brussels sprouts are yummers with some heavy cream
*snicker*
brussels sprouts are yummers with some heavy cream and Snickers
@32: What?!
@ 34, see 7.
/i am not as mature as dave.
Brussels sprouts do what to your penis? You never clarified.
@30, I totally agree. Cheese is why I could never be a vegan (up to and including cheesecake.) Tho ice cream is a close #2 on the ‘why I can’t be a vegan’ list. Ok, now I need dessert….
Ahem. Certain foods affect the taste and odor of male ejaculate.
/not to carp, but you asked.
I hear pineapple makes ya taste sweet.
@ 39 True. Takes only about 3-4 hours to have an effect.
That said, this is a wholly inappropriate discussion to have in the “100 Things To Eat Before You Die” thread. There should be a sexual tips and tricks thread. Wait. No there shouldn’t.
@40, you seem to know a lot about erotic tastes…how does thee know so much?
@40 a trick is something a whore does for money. or candy.
@41: Don’t ask questions you don’t really want the answer to.
@42, It’s called an illusion, Michael.
you seem to know a lot about erotic tastes…how does thee know so much?
Im a sybarite consumed by incurable curiosity about human sexuality.
a trick is something a whore does for money. or candy.
Not the kind of tricks Im talking about.
LMAO. This has gone sooooooooooo into the gutter. Semen flavors? I mean… sheesh.
Admittedly, though… I’m morbidly curious now.
And while we’re on the topic of bodily fluids: has anyone noticed how coffee aromas can get, *ahem*, passed along to your pee? I HATE peeing after half a pot of Pike Place blend gets into me in the morning.
@ 46 I tried to switch the topic to Aloo Gobi a while back, but i didn’t take off. I apologize for ever even bringing it up.
/we are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars, like dave.
cheese is yummers, but curds aren’t cheese in my book. poutine with feta or bleu ‘crumbles’ perhaps?
pont l’eveque and some of those other excrement-smelling cheeses (437 kinds in l’Hexagone?), are terrifying. i’ve seen french families store them uncovered on a plate in the garage between meals.
anyone ever read Mark Kurlansky’s tome SALT? Remarkable book. he speaks of all manner of exotic inedibles… rotted herring sticks in my mind. was rotted herring on the list… it has a prosaic no doubt Viking name… Thor no doubt subsists largely on this norse treat.
ummmm, i wasn’t going to play… but i’ve heard claims of female vegetarians versus omnivores tasting different, counterpoint to the above in re the s-word.
Vegetarians taste better. Mmhmm, that’s right. Eat a vegetarain before you die.
@ 49 Again, so very true.
@49
yes, well, ummmmm.
what was that e-mail addy again? (thanks parlie)
@50: I axed you a question on MUSE and you didn’t answer me. Such a rude Fudgenozzle you is.
@ poutine
what’s the derivation on this? poutin is a prostitute, yes? adding the ‘e’ is making it a diminutive or euphemism? it’s cheap and filling, so it’d be like ‘a whore’s breakfast’? or differet root entirely?
poutain de bordel de chier de degulasse de fils de pout a la con, as Celine says.
After deleting everything i have eaten I was left with the below list and I am betting that it is similar to what a lot of people would be left with. Because that’s the kind of list it is.
5. Crocodile
6. Black pudding
8. Carp
14. Aloo gobi
16. Epoisses

Repost the list above, deleting anything you’ve had.
Then see what, if anything, will be left.
Tais-toi!
They serve oxtail at Fleurie and Petit Pois sometimes, say around New Year’s and it is quite tasty. Isn’t Pocky those little Japanese biscuit sticks dipped in chocolate?
@53: Putain is prostitute btw.
@57
from your list I’m left with this that I haven’t eaten:
5. Crocodile
8. Carp
46. Fugu
65. Durian
75. Roadkill
84. Tasting menu at a three-Michelin-star restaurant.
89. Horse
I know there were a few on the original list that I’d have to add to make my own list complete including the cigar (not happening) and a Big Mac (how have I missed that one all these years?). I had to look up a few things to see what they were and found out I had eaten them.
I’ve gotta say I’m perfectly okay with never having had and never trying a Big Mac..apparently i better get movin’ on the rest of the list though…I have missed out on a lot of those. I did have Crocodile once…but it was fried too much and tasted like chicken.
@44 bahaha. Did you know that hulu.com has every episode on there…It’s fantastic.
I had horse (both tartarded, and cured) while in Italy this past year. It tasted like horse. More specifically, it tasted like dog food, but in meat form. Yes, I tried dog food a little bit when I was a kid.
I don’t care what my semen tastes like. I’m not drinking it.
Why is Brad Pitts cock not on this list?
@ 46 i’ve noticed the coffee-pee effect. i find it kind of charming, and no, i can’t explain why.
i’m only at 34… laaaame! but i don’t eat seafood. (when i was younger i’d tell people it’s because i’m a pisces and can’t eat my own kind. much like now, no one found it funny)
also, Byo, you’re killing me with the dave thing.
@ 64 if your semen tastes eponymous, i don’t blame you.
@65 because the guy who ran the site where the list came from was not allowed that taste test?
or they were talking about meals not snacks?
Perhaps because it’s not commercial available?
if your semen tastes eponymous,
i don’t blame youthen your pee tastes peeponymous.how come liverwurst and home-growed tomatoe sandwiches are not on the list???
/back off before semen taste occurs
/feel the same way about polish-remover taste
does alligator = crocodile?
//sorta got hazy after #10…
i have 82 on my list. not sure where I could procure my mystery items.
i have eatin anything or i would try it atlease once…except tat semen shit…lol croc…is yummy
