Foods to Try Before You Die?

My friend and former co-worker, Sara, posted this Food List Challenge on her Facebook, and I thought it'd be fun to share. The list has been circulating the Internet for a while, it seems. The basic idea is to see how many of these "bucket list" foods you have eaten, and how many more you have to try.


My number's actually pretty low, but I'm going to blame my relatively severe shellfish allergy.
