Okay I stole this from Sageweb who stole it from Sassy and I've followed her example. Everything I've tried on the list I've bolded - what I have no intention of ever trying again I've put in italics. And, of course, being a smart ass I've added a few comments.

Huevos rancheros
Steak tartare (Raw beef and raw egg – never again thank you!)

Salted lassi

Dirty gin martini
Beer above 8% ABV (I thought all beer was over 8% but then I remembered that American beer tastes like panther piss – sorry guys)

Kaolin
Currywurst
Durian (The smell is truly disgusting – think dirty socks or worse – but the taste is sublime)

Lobster Thermidor

Like Sage I'm a picky eater and I was surprised by how much on the list I had actually tried and enjoyed. And I've pondering over the Roadkill item - who knows maybe in one of those roadside diners - nah they wouldn't do that. Would they?

There is no way I would have tried Durian...the smell alone gets me sick. It is up thee with stinky tofu.
Good list tho.
That's my Wills, the epicure!
And sorry sugar but Chitterlings and andouillette aren't really the same dish ;) Close I grant you, mighty close..
Try smoked oysters..really.
I don't like 'em raw,but smoked is tasty!
I know someone else who enjoyed scones.

Tried Durian last week in Kuala Lumpur. Apparently it wasn't ripe because is tasted as it smelled ... my trip to the loo followed quickly. Nettle tea is great when you're on survival training in a northern Alberta winter... Salt lassi NO, sweet lassi YES. Curried goat - frequently in my neck of the woods. Frog's legs... think little chicken legs in sauce used to hide snail taste... And the one not on the list - the Mongolian horse milk vodka that Kev tried in Poland... I seem to remember it being worse than the evening he drank vodka and ate caviar with Laurent :)
PS. I think you need to bold the fat cigar with the cognac. I seem to remember you partaking in both on the Remy Martin night at the Sheraton in Warsaw... I only got to try the cigars :)
