Unusual food meme

I bet I totally score high on this one. :) Amusingly, until I was 11 (and well after my first RTW trip), I refused to eat about 90% of all foods. Then I hit puberty and my taste buds died...

If the SATs were based on stuff like this I woulda been SCREWED. You know how lucky you were to have traveling wacky professor parents, yes? Yeah, I know, I should shut up because you're the person wrangling a move, a new job, a dog and a toddler and much sympathy is due. Did our ant-prevention suggestions help at all?

And yeah, if Julian hasn't had nearly everything on this list I will be quite surprised.

Hey, on the 2nd grade IQ test, I didn't know what a lb. was or hpw many oz.es were in it.

According to apintrix J got a 93. And yes, I know I'm lucky, though many of these foods I ate while traveling on my own first, actually, so...much thanks to the Yale ETC for funding? And on the downside, there are a whole bunch of eps of food poisoning associated with my items on this list.

Still kinda resentful that my Dad fed me chocolate-covered grasshoppers _without telling me_ when I was 9, though.

And the whisky was from a shop in Edinburgh where you can pay 5 pounds for one shot of the good stuff...

I am bitter that chicken heart is not on this list. I want credit for it.
