If I had, it would have been feast day. It's true I don't usually like Indian food, but i the interest of science (or whatever you'd call it) I would have given it a try. Thanks, Keith, for the offer. Unfortunately, I didn’t know I “needed” to try those to eat those items when I was over your way last week. If I had, it would have been feast day.

Also, #54 Paneer (Indian cheese, a bit like very firm tofu) and #14 Aloo Gobi (Potato and Cauliflower) would have been easy to come by, though I seem to recall you don't like Indian food. I did better than I expected as well with 57.

And, would prickly pear ale (from defunct Austin brewpub Bitter End) count for prickly pear? Sadly only 38 (39 if the prickly pear ale counts.) Not really surprising as I’ve been a notoriously picky eater most of my life (just ask my family.) I suspect I’ve had some of the others at various events without knowing what they were.

My family visited a cousin of my stepfather's for dinner. Halfway into our meal, our host announced that we were eating Squirrel Pot Pie, and that the main ingredient had been indeed found on the side of the road. My mother whisked us out of there, I never saw that particular relative again. But every experience has an upside, I guess, and now I can tick off roadkill as something I've eaten.

I'm chagrined to see at least 20 on my "yet to taste" list that have been a matter of lack of opportunity, things I've wanted to try for a while. Must get out more. Damn…only 58.
