Grits.

We have something that sounds similar here, known as 'pap' (which I am
not all that fond of), but until I taste real grits myself, I'll never
know for sure whether they're good, bad, or ugly.

Cabbage, except I have had to eat it more than once (as a child) -

1 - I think I've managed to taste just about everything I've wanted to,
unless it's something I still don't know about. What I regret are a few
things I've tasted that I can no longer get.

2 - I'm with you on the caviar, and I'll add octopus to that.

Uhm... Gazpacho. I'd probably end up liking it and get ****ed off about

I might have to get back to you on that one. Bob has introduced me to so

If you are talking about the real truffles and not the chocolate kind
(like Bob made this week -- yummmm!) I think they are overrated. Caviar
I agree with you, though I like fish. We had a very expensive caviar and
I just wasn't impressed - and I had such high hopes!

There isn't that much, based on the fact that free samples are fat-free!
Caviar is good, cabbage, cooked or uncooked is too! There are a number
of Japanese things that I will not eat again willingly, like barbequed
eel, natto and escolar. Because of its oil content, escolar produces the
runs in a large number of people. It is banned in Japan now but,
strangely enough, not in the US.

There are a number of things that I'd have to be very hungry to eat like
oatmeal porridge, tripe or cooked turnip but De Gustibus always applies.

That reminds me! Thai or Vietnamese fish sauce, Nuoc Mam, is fine as a
food component but I *once* tried it alone to see what it tasted like:
never again! Along those lines, I've never tried the Minnesota
fermented fish "delicacy" lutfisk or the probably similar Norwegian
ratfisk.

I was tempted to search for ratfisk on the 'net and came up with this

Which ones ? The dark Umbrian ones (the auction is in September, I'll
be there) or white ones ?
Since you're in the USA, I'd suggest you try truffle oil, because
a) truffles can only be conserved in oil
b) loose their taste fast
c) only inferior quality is exported to the USA, because of a) and b) and d).
d) they can't be frozen

Before the fall of the Iron Curtain 2 kilogram tins of caviar were to be

Sounds like you tried the cheap stuff. Like fish, it needs to be
fresh. When it's fresh, like fish, there is no "fishy" flavor.

Both light and dark, though the Alba truffles were quite nice in a
Pumpkin Gnocchi we had. I'm not saying i dislike or hate truffles, they
just aren't the be all and end all of anything on a menu for me. There
is a bottle of truffle oil in the pantry that I don't bother with.
Perhaps I should.

> Persian or Russian caviar ?

I've had the Ossetra (or Osetra if you prefer). I wasn't even aware
there was an Iranian caviar! Thanks for making me look that up. Would
you consider it superior to the Russian and if so, what do you like
about it? (Just because it's more $$$$ doesn't necessarily make it
better.) With the proper coaxing, I suppose I could be persuaded to give
caviar another shot. ;-)

I don't think I have any regrets yet. After all, my life isn't over
yet, or close to it, and I still have time to try all the things I
want to try. Might not have enough money though for some of the
things..

Ask me when I am on my deathbed.

Loves me some Calamari!!!! It's gotten to the point that whenever Bob
and I go out, if there is calamari on the menu, we have to try it.

The best I've ever had was at Perry's Steakhouse in Dallas, TX. Strange
to be on the Left Coast and I haven't found calamari as good as Perry's.
The entree that night was Prime Filet Steak Oscar and it was divine!
Come to think of it, that was probably one of the best steaks I have
ever had. It was a huge cut of meat and it couldn't be finished in one
sitting. The sauce was extremely rich as well. We had one of the
curtained, private dining booths. This "reviewer" gives Perry's two
thumbs up!

http://www.perrys-dallas.com/

So, whenever we have calamari it's always compared to Perry's standards.
