50 Things To Eat Before You Die

I saw this list awhile ago but since I have nothing else to post, here ya go.

BBC's 50 Things To Eat Before You Die

1/Fresh fish
Yes, unless you mean "I just caught this like two seconds ago" fresh. One of my goals in life is to someday eat fresh fish at the Tsujiki Fish Market in Tokyo.
2/Lobster
3/Steak
4/Thai food
5/Chinese food
6/Ice cream
7/Pizza
8/Crab
9/Curry
10/Prawns
11/Moreton Bay Bugs
I'm pleased to know that this is not actually a bug but a lobster.
12/Clam Chowder
It's probably a tragedy that I went to New England and didn't try lobster but I'll do it next time.
13/Barbecues
14/Pancakes
lol. You know I've done this one!
15/Pasta
16/Mussels
Ew, ew and more ew.
17/Cheesecake
18/Lamb
19/Cream tea
One day I will have a tea party and we all shall have cream tea.
20/Alligator
21/Oysters
I think I've eaten oysters. Can't remember what they taste like though. I'm put of trying them because I don't particularly like stuff that comes from a shell.
22/Kangaroo
23/Chocolate
24/Sandwiches
25/Greek food
I may have eaten Greek food but I don't have any distinct memories of it.
26/Burgers
27/Mexican food
28/Squid
29/American diner breakfast
I've probably eaten a diner style breakfast but apart from Denny's which I don't think counts, I've never eaten breakfast in an American diner.
30/Salmon
31/Venison
It's possible I've eaten venison too. I did go to a deer farm but I can't remember so I won't count it.
32/Guinea pig
I'm not sure I can see this being fulfilled. My friend used to have a pet guinea pig and I babysat it once and I don't think I could eat a guinea pig without thinking of him.
33/Shark
34/Sushi
35/Paella
I've been meaning to try and cook paella....
36/Barramundi
37/Reindeer
Wouldn't this be a fabulous Xmas dish? haha.
38/Kebab
39/Scallops
40/Australian meat pie
I'm counting this despite the fact I haven't had an Australian meat pie because NZ meat pies are pretty much the same thing. Perhaps they are even better. Why let the Aussies win?
41/Mango
42/Durian fruit
Must prepare some kind of fumigation system before I do this. Possibly eat it outdoors.
43/Octopus
44/Ribs
45/Roast beef
46/Tapas
One day I will eat tapas in Spain. Yum.
47/Jerk chicken/pork
48/Haggis
I'm not feeling a great desire to eat haggis despite it's place on the list.
49/Caviar
50/Cornish Pastry

My score is 31/50. Not bad but then most of these are pretty easy. I have a list somewhere of really strange foods to try. Maybe I'll dig that up sometime when I have nothing to post. Let me know what your scores are.

I scored 33/50. Not too shabby. I don't think I want to eat guinea pig either though...
