100 Foods to Try -- My version

So, everyone on facebook has been taking this 100 foods to try before you die test, and then my cousin sent out something similar by email. I took it. And then I decided I had to make my own, because I thought it was a bit unfair--Hostess fruit pie, for instance, is not something that I think is either so delicious as not to be missed, or so iconic/interesting/unique that you really should at least say you've had it (this would be my criteria for list foods).

I came up with a list quickly, then added and subtracted items in my head on the drive home. In the interest of not spending the entire rest of my evening doing this, here's what I've put together so far. Yes, it's a bit snobby, but that should surprise no one! I did try to throw some gimmies in there. :) And honestly, some of these I have not tried yet, and some I have and didn't like. Still worth trying. Enjoy...And please comment if you have other recommendations!
