30 Foods Before 30

 All diets are off!

I have always been one to try new foods.  I have never been scared or squirmy when asked to eat such things as raw quail eggs, frog legs, octopus, or escargot. Cheers and down the hatch it goes! To me the best way to experience a new culture is through food, even if it does make you sick (Thanks Costa Rica).  That's why on my 30 Before 30 List I wanted to try 30 new foods.

Some of these foods have just slipped through my fingers and I have somehow yet to try.  Others are on here simply because some foods are just too spectacular not to try, right?  I guess we will see...

1. Eggplant
2. Rocky Mountain Oysters
3. Chicken and Waffles
4. Fried Green Tomatoes
5. Honeycomb
6. Paella
7. Spam
8. Sardines
9. Prickly Pear
10. Pickle Sno-Cone (It's at my local Sno-Cone stand and have been curious about it for years)
11. Chitlins
12. Foie Gras
13. Gazpacho
14. Pad Thai
15. Hasenpfeffer
16. Cabrito
17. Lamb
18. Elk
19. Bison
20. Gingerbread House
21. Prunewhip
22. Ceviche
23. Sweetbread
24. Sea Urchin
25. Beef Tongue

Restaurants
26. WhipIn
27. Uchi
28. Home Slice
29. Hopdoddy
30. Cisco's
