woo, I struck a chord with that last entry. I guess everyone likes to talk about food. ;)
All of your comments made me want to add more to my list. I guess I can say that my list is not limited to what I've already shared. I have a diverse taste in cuisines, and I'll try almost anything once. cheapodrugs.com
Well, besides dinuguan (blood stew) and balut (half-incubated fowl in a boiled egg). To quote Mike Meyers in So I Married an Axe Murderer, I believe that most Filipino cuisine was created on a dare. ;)
I'll eat the adobo, the pancit, and of course, the lumpia and most of the desserts. But the rest is best off staying a mystery to me.
What dishes of your culture are you reluctant to try?
Hays, KS has a strong Volga-German heritage. A popular food here is called rawburger, which is exactly what it is. Uncooked hamburger with spices. Oh and mountain oysters are common as well. I don't eat beef or pork but even if I did I would not try either.
My ancestory if French and Welsh if I go back far enough. I do like french fries and french toast. ;) I don't know of any Welsh foods though.

When I heard crunch sounds from my uncle who ate his faster than I could chew. It didnt gross me out when I ate it but when I heard that sound from him it still makes me cringe to this day.

Oh, black puddings and other related Irish/Scottish nightmare dishes will never, and I mean never, pass through my lips.
