Immediately after reading the list of 50 foods you should eat before dying, I decided that I should post a list of vegetarian foods to try before you die. There are so many fruits and vegetables many people have not tried that should be tried!
Here they are:
1. Goji Berry
2. Miracle Fruit
3. Starfruit
4. Sugar Apple
5. Soursop
6. Truffles (the fungus)
7. Kumquat
8. Passionfruit
9. Dragonfruit
10. Morels
11. Fiddleheads
12. Jicama
13. Nopales
14. Prickly Pears
15. Casaba Melon
16. Acai Berry (NOT the juice!)
17. Chayote
18. Artichoke
19. Quinoa
20. Tofu
Have you tried any of these? Which would you like to try?

haha, neat !! i've had starfruit and dragonfruit. :P i wanna try prickly pears :)
Oh I love dragonfruit and kumquat!
I've had dragonfruit and starfruit. Unfortunately, they're so tropical that it's hard to get it in the States (I had it in Hawaii).
The only thing I've had is tofu..but at least it's one thing to mark off the list =D
DRAGONFRUIT <333!!!
i've had starfruit, acai berry, & tofu. i want to try dragonfruit really bad.
=D
DRAGONFRUIT YESSSS! They're awesome =D
I've tried 8 out of the 20. Love dragon fruit and star fruit. <3
I eat tofu probably everyday. I love artichokes. I tried kumquats and I didn't really like them...too sour. I don't really like starfruit either. I've never tried morel mushrooms because they are sooo expensive! I definitely want to try acai berries, I like the juice...and dragonfruit looks cool. but yeah...good list!
may i suggest rambutans? it is such a delicious fruit.
i've tried about half of the listed. the only one that i really dislike is tofu (or anything made with soybeans.) my family and friends love tofu, so i've tried several tofu recipes and concoctions, but i can't find myself liking it. (i'm also glad the durian fruit didn't make it to the list because it could kill you with its toxic smell. aagggghhh!!!!)
mangosteens are to die for. try them :)
I've had starfruit, kumquat, tofu, and prickly pear.
I'm not looking forward to trying prickly pear again any time soon. The fruit tasted great. But, as the name suggest it is quite Prickly and there is a process to eating them. Something like put in boiling water for a certain amt of time, then into cool water to soak for hours, rub off pricklies with super thick clothes, peel, and eat (don't quote me on this). My mom followed the instructions she'd gotten from her friend who grew the fruit, to the tee. After about 2 days soaked in water it was time we ate the fruit- tasty, delicioso! Then later that day we noticed our fingers were stinging, other parts of our body too. The Pricks still were not completely gone!! The Prickly pear only lasted for a day and 1/2 in our household, but those pricklies were everywhere (the table, table clothes, our clothes, plastics, the sofa, etc.) and lasted for more than a week! They were tiny and once they got in your skin...man were they hard to get out, because you can barely see them. Ouch.
I would like to try just about all of the other foods esp quinoa, dragonfruit, and artichoke.
I LOVE artichoke! Hate tofu. Everything else I hear is amazing, but I've never tried. I REALLY wanna try starfruit. Anyone wanna describe what it tastes like to me? :]
Jicama , Kumquat, Goji Berry, and Tofu are amazing!!! I llove it.
As for Dragonfruit.. eh.. I'm not particularly fond of it.
ive tried : #'s 1 3 7 8 9 12 15 17 18 20^^
I've had Starfruit and passionfruit, the first two look like something I'd go for.
I've had the kumquat, starfruit, and tofu. All are very delicious!
I'd be willing to try any of them, especially the miracle fruit. I've seen on a Japanese TV show, that if you lick the skin of the miracle fruit, then if you eat a lemon it will make the lemon tastes sweet and not sour. Something about it tricks the tastes buds.
Also in Japan, there is this mixed seasoning for making tofu burgers. You just crush some tofu, squeeze out the liquid by wrapping into cheese cloth, mix the seasoning, and form patties. You fry the patties, put it into a bun and it's all good. My vegetarian friend introduced it to me, and it tastes so good.
Vegetarians should also try bean sprouts with a bit of Italian dressing. It's super healthy, and is a good addition to salads.
I think this list is mostly "exotic fruits to eat before you die."
Aw man, some of these I used to have back at home... I miss these fruits, they are good! This made me so homesick. I love kumquats.
I've had five of the 20, but half of them I've never even heard of o_O.
