A couple of years ago, I saw a BBC program featuring the 50 Things To Eat Before You Die as voted by their viewers. I thought it was a great idea and I saved the list, glancing back at it when it crossed my mind and crossing off new things. It doesn't necessarily feature the most unusual foods (though some are definitely unusual!), but many foods which simply everyone should try (pizza, sushi, etc.).
The other day I saw it again and after another cross-out or two, I realized I'm only a little more than halfway through. I definitely need to step up my game; although, I'm sure there are some I can just never eat, I mean, guinea pig?!

Now I'm hungry.
Thanks.I'd eat all of these. I've had most of them except for the more outlandish meat choices like alligator, kangaroo, and guinea pig.
as a veggie head i don't think i'll ever finish this list
I've had 85% of that stuff already. ^_^
Wow. Missing 17...
I've eaten 24 of those things in my lifetime. I have wanted to try durians for a long time, but I'm concerned I'll be allergic to them.
I would personally add Lebanese and Indian food to that list. (I think Greek food sucks compared to Lebanese and Syrian food.)
@babygirllll4@xanga - Same here.
I've eaten most of this stuff. This list rocks!
I've eaten almost everything on there that is vegetarian.
I wouldn't touch the strange to me meats. Guinea pig, no thanks.
people eat kangaroo???
noooo =(
durian STINKS.
36 out of 50
and about 5-8 of those things i've been offered but refused b/c they smell disgusting
or i just don't have the desire to eat it
but i do want to try haggis:)
i'm missing 18 of them
i've tried 38/50. i wouldn't mind trying the rest.
still have 10 to go...
30/50
And I would never ever try durian fruit again..I'd. rather. die 
I've had 23, so almost half.
I don't think I would try many more.
Missing 26 and don't mind a bit! I don't eat ANYTHING that swims.
Oh, but I'd so love to try reindeer, kangeroo and giunea pig.
@babygirllll4@xanga - Same here
I really want to try cheesecake though.

I've tried 24 things outta 50.
23 more things to go.
I've eaten about half. Why are they mostly meats though? I thought that they'd be exotic dishes or something. (oh wow, I've eaten 42)
If I'm going to eat octopus do I have eat it like the guy from Oldboy?
I've eaten 35 of those, and I'd be willing to at least try all of them.
I've tried 22 of the things on the list. Everything else repulses me aside from curry which I expect to try at my uncle's in California next week.
I have not tried....moreton bay bug, venison, kangaroo, guinea pig, baramundi, reindeer, haggis, and cornish pastry.
I am willing to try...moreton bay bug,kangaroo, venison ( my dog's food is made out of venison), baramundi, haggis ( dont know what it is/you can tell me after i try it) and cornish pastry..
I dont really want to try guinea pig, and reindeer (POOR RUDOLPH!) ....
