Whew - so I've had seventy out of the hundred, and would only rule out twelve-and-a-half items (some of which I've actually tried so I KNOW I don't like them). Not bad for a redneck, huh??
On firther consideration, I had a thought: "Holy crap, I will eat just about anything, won't I??"

Wow, you WILL eat just about anything! You may be my polar opposite in eating. I've eaten only five of the items, the "normal stuff" like PBJ, root beer floats, etc... Of course, my wife says that I have the most boring palette of anyone.
Wow, that list has some scary things on it. (shudders)
Yeah - you've eaten a lot!
I eat truffles once in a blue moon, but I don't get them. Some people find them positively orgasmic...
Blogger Dad, I was raised to believe that one should eat what one was offered by one's host, regardless of how one felt about the fare.
I am not that polite, any more. I think it was the sheep's eyes that decided the fate of my good manners - one should only have to go so far for the sake of another's feelings. I ate them the one time, and that was enough. I am polite about refusing...but I refuse nonetheless.
Magpie - yep, some folks just love truffles...but I think they taste a bit musty and fungal and don't much care for them.
