Exactly one year ago I posted my Omnivore’s Hundred list, which was the current meme-de-jour. Since then I’ve been making some steady progress, so this is my update. I’ve only included foods that I’ve eaten for the first time since posting the original list (in bold), and foods I’ve still never eaten.

1. Nettle tea
2. Huevos rancheros
3. Steak tartare
4. Crocodile
5. Carp
6. Borscht
7. Baba ghanoush
8. Pho
9. Epoisses
10. Rice and beans
11. Raw Scotch Bonnet pepper
12. Dulce de leche
13. Oysters
14. Bagna cauda
15. Clam chowder in a sourdough bowl
16. Root beer float
17. Cognac with a fat cigar
18. Curried goat
19. Whole insects
20. Fugu
21. Sea urchin
22. Prickly pear
23. Umeboshi
24. Abalone
25. Spaetzle
26. Dirty gin martini
27. Poutine
28. Carob chips
29. S’mores
30. Sweetbreads
31. Kaolin
32. Durian
33. Chitterlings, or andouillette
34. Gazpacho
35. Caviar and blini (but not together at the same time)
36. Roadkill
37. Baijiu
38. Hostess Fruit Pie
39. Pocky
40. Tasting menu at a three-Michelin-star restaurant (only two-star so far)
41. Kobe beef
42. Goulash
43. Horse
44. Criollo chocolate
45. Spam
46. Soft shell crab
47. Rose harissa
48. Mole poblano
49. Lobster Thermidor
50. Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee
51. Snake

I think that’s good progress.  The highlights are Kobe beef and Pocky.  I’ve added curried goat to my list of eaten foods as an Indian friend explained that “mutton” in India is probably goat, and not sheep as I would have expected.
