It all depends on A. How it is cooked and B. How much butter you have! :D

I once tried lamb eyeballs, they got a melty texture, and taste a bit similar, but not as good as lamb/ goat brain which I prefer. They're considered a delicacy and hard to get, but I stuck with that one time.

I'm quite open to trying new foods, so long as they smell good - if they don't pass this stage, chances are that I won't try them as I got a sensitive gag reflex and smells trigger it pretty easily.


EDIT: thanks to Tarnicus for my spotting my typo.

Very hot and spicy stuff. I have a guilty pleasure for spicy foods, but have never been brave enough to try anything higher than jalapeno or habanero. I've had lots of chilis, Louisiana hot sauce, tabasco, etc... but nothing on the dangerous list like Reapers or Jolokias.

There's a huge market now for extremely hot foods and spices... been thinking about growing some of my own hot peppers as well. Just trying to work up the nerve to go extreme.

Pretty much anything that doesn't have any underwater creatures in any form in it.

The best lobster I ever had was this one Japanese restaurant. they charged something like $45 for a bit of it, but they smothered this cheesy butter all over the thing that just made it spectacular.

I had once wanted to go to Maine and try them fresh out of the sea. I've heard they can so good there that they just need a little lemon and pepper. But I became allergic to shellfish in my mid-20s and I'm married to a vegan, so I suppose that trip will never happen.

That is a shame. I have had it fresh out the sea. It is something that needs to be tried. I remember getting to pick which one I wanted and had it slaughtered right infront of me. Quite an experience and it was quite tasty.

I think i'd go mad if I were allergic to fish. My favourite food group and unfortunately some of the most awkward foods to find where I live which is ironic considering it is the biggest fishing port in my country. :|

Ok, so Rick Bayless's recipes and hell, even store products are great, but he just creeps me the f- out. Especially when he has an episode with his daughter on.

I've never heard of it before, but apparently authentic high-grade Wagyū beef has been imported to the US and is on sale for the low low price of $109.09 per pound with an 11 pound minimum purchase.

Now that's something I'd really like to try, but it better be the best damn steak I ever eat.

Traditional chinese dishes, like turtle soup, roast snake, original blood snakewine, dishes that are created after traditional chinese medicine recipes, wild mushrooms of the region (bamboo mushrooms are really tasty, and the famous medicinal one Ling-Zhi/Reishi), fried wok vegetables with rice, duck fillets, mmm... I want to taste them all!

Not necessarily dying to try but what I hope to try someday would be sushi and lobster. Thing is, I am more of a social eater, and I never went to places that had this stuff yet (usually buffet or restaurants that would make me look awkward if I was the ONLY one who bought it or eat it) but maybe one day! =)

About sushi, it is really easy. Locate a sushi bar, i understand that in your region, there must be many. Just make sure to ask for a NEW STYLE TAMAKI ROLL, which means a sushi roll (wrapped roll) with cooked fish instead of raw. Raw fish has a strange taste and it can give you nasty infections. Or visit a supermarket, and buy a sushi kit with predetermined dosages for certain servings, a make it yourself style. Buying the individual ingredients is very expensive, especially if your regional tax/VAT is really high. Sushi becomes what you want it to be; you can use cucumber or avocado, smoked fish (really great, isn't raw but still not cooked, and healthy) like salmon, the sushi rice annointed with the rice vinegar, a pinch of wasabi pasted inside (take care for it to be minimal, it burns like hell) in a thin trail, and served with ginger pickle. Wrapped with that seaweed sheet, nori.

Lobster can be expensive. Try to find raw and living one, to buy. You can cook it yourself, with spaghetti or other pasta. You boil it with little salt and other seasoning, as per your tastes. You keep the boiled water, inside it you cook the spaghetti. You prepare the sauce, like "sauce Americaine", one of the most used and most tasty things to serve a lobster with. You pour sauce upon the spaghetti, and enjoy your crustacean with it. You need tool to crak open the hard armor, or durable knife/fork, or strong hands, or a combination of these.

Both are healthy, tasty, and somewhat expensive. Try to prepare yourself, this way you save many expenses, and you enjoy your meal doubly so, because YOU have created it... Totally worth the money and efforts. Those 2 rock.

A Kobe steak.

Sounds real good. Fugu sounds fascinating. I'd be abit scared to try it though! lol
