So far i have eaten 52 of them. I am slightly more than half way there! Although I may never make the full 100 because durian scares the hell out of me.

2. Nettle tea
3. huevos rancheros
4. Steak tartare
5. Crocodile
6. Black pudding
7. Cheese fondue
8. Carp
9. Borscht
10. Baba ghanoush
11. Calamari - This is pretty much always good. It's never going to be OMG THE BEST THING EVER but it's always tastey.
12. Pho
13. PB&J sandwich - I eat these a lot because I eat like a toddler.
