Guinea Pig?? Reindeer!!!!!!!!

I counted 38 I've had incl real caviar, barramundi & shark.

I 've had real caviar and probably fish eggs too....sadly now that I no longer eat meat I will probably never try lots of those items.  Has anyone tried 42 - durian?  I did in Kuala Lumpur...

The only ones I haven't tried are:

11. Moreton Bay Bugs
22. Kangaroo
32. Guinea pig
36. Barramundi
37. Reindeer
40. Australian meat pie
42. Durian fruit
48. Haggis

But now that I don't eat red meat, it's unlikely that I'll ever try braised guinea pig!!

What are Moreton Bay Bugs, by the way? Maybe I have tried one but just didn't realise!

Mmmmm ... caviar!

Guinea Pig?? Reindeer!!!!!!!!

Guinea pig (cava) is popular in Peru and other South American countries.  And reindeer is just domesticated caribou, so really not much different than venison.  I ate caribou in Quebec, never had guinea pig though.

I've only had 23. I'm not very brave when it comes to trying new foods. Not at all! I'm the type of person who orders the same exact thing every time I go out. lol

And reindeer is just domesticated caribou, so really not much different than venison.  I ate caribou in Quebec, never had guinea pig though.

That's what I thought -- but since they listed venison and reindeer as two separate items, I figured I'd play by the rules.

11. Moreton Bay Bugs
20. Alligator
22. Kangaroo
32. Guinea pig
36. Barramundi
40. Australian meat pie
42. Durian fruit
48. Haggis

These are the ones that I haven't tried. I had Reindeer in Sweden, really good if it is made right. I really want to try haggis, but I need to find a place that makes it well. Really, I will try anything once.

I've had 4243.  This is what I haven't had, although for some reason I think I might have had Kangaroo and Alligator.  But I wouldn't swear that.  


11. Moreton Bay Bugs
20. Alligator
22. Kangaroo
32. Guinea pig
36. Barramundi
37. Reindeer
42. Durian fruit
43. Octopus  What am I talking about?  I've had octopus. 
 

I've had 41, not bad

I should say which ones I still need to try...

11. Moreton Bay Bugs
19. Cream tea
22. Kangaroo
32. Guinea pig
36. Barramundi
40. Australian meat pie
42. Durian fruit

A cream tea should be very easy!!

41 for me too.  I have not had:

11. Moreton Bay Bugs
20. Alligator
22. Kangaroo
32. Guinea pig
36. Barramundi
37. Reindeer
38. Kebab  (I know, and I live here!)
40. Australian meat pie
47. Jerk chicken/pork

Not terribly anxious to check them off the list either; think I'll be okay.

I've got 21 things to taste before I die!!

41 for me too.  I have not had:
38. Kebab  (I know, and I live here!)

well techinially kebab just means meat so you probably have had it if you take that interpretation ...
