Another note: honestly, I don't think this list is complete or optimal...what should be on here that isn't? Anyone?
I'm thinking moose, bear, raw tuna sushi with wasabi, a kebab from a street vendor, homemade chocolate-chip cookie dough furitively eaten, fish and chips with vinegar, pickled daikon, snow, papaya with lime, and a perfectly ripe mango.

I want to work on this list! yay! when we are back sometime next summer we might have to have some.....very interesting dinners
ha, yeah :) but its like the breakfasts here. seriously, did i tell you about breakfast? not like everyday, like weekends. its the smorgasbord thing (thats not what they call it though) but basically you start with either fresh baked bread or a cracker and pile it with six or eight kinds of cheese, meat, shrimp, shrimp salad, italian salad, salad salad and other vegetables, avacado, tomatoes, sliced egg, caviar paste, jam, butter, preserves, sliced ham, smoked salmon, prosciutto, in whatever combination takes your fancy. All of the above are, of course, present on the table. Seriously.
I have had 26 of those foods.
i've had 29, and will definitely be working on it!
Takako and I are conducting a wing-wide survey of who has eaten which of these foods. So far, we have maybe 20 people's answers. I'll keep you updated. Note: We have 1 absinthe, and 2 roadkills.
So I was looking back at this again, and realized that I never posted the final results of Takako and I's survey, this having been concluded, oh, a year and a half ago. We talked to 32 people, 9 of whom were girls, including us. (Yeah, engineering dorm...) Most foods tried: Skaggs, 66; Chris, 55; Robert 45. Most foods tried by a girl: Anna, 37; Takako, 34. Average # of foods eaten: 32. Least foods tried: Kristen, 5; Cat, 15. The only thing everybody we talked to had eaten was a PB/J sandwich. Things nobody ate: Bagna cauda, phaal, kaplin, gjetost/brunost, baijiu, lapsang souchong, criollo chocolate, rose harissa. It's possible somebody had, in fact, eaten one of these foods and not known the name, but nobody claimed to have eaten them.
