I don't eat beef or pork so, I'd love to see what all the fuss is over bacon!

I think for the novelty of it, I wanna try a deep fried Oreo!

Haggis is great, snails can be (depends on the recipe),
caviar good but not worth the price, frogs legs a bit meh.

I think I've tried most of my wish list.

Would you really?
I'd call myself pretty adventurous when it comes to trying new and exotic foods and I've eaten some highly peculiar things in some strange places, but even I'd draw the line at that. I'm not entirely convinced it's not been made up to take the mick out of foreigners.

I'd like to try American beef because it is mainly grain fed rather than grass fed.
I'd like to see the difference.

Honestly, I'd love to try a bit. They banned it for a while apparently and it's price shot up on the black market.

I try to buy a different cheese to try most weeks and this one is definately on my list .

Lobster - never got round to it, and it seems to cost so much i've never been able to justify it.
Horse - out of curiosity really

It was the challenge in the first episode of Man v Food.
The challenge is not just the steak.
72-oz. top sirloin steak, a baked potato, salad, dinner roll and shrimp cocktail

Swan, just out of curiosity and birds nest soup (the proper one made from saliva or whatever).

I really ought to try a Donna kebab at some point too but I dont think I've ever been inebriated to that degree.

My brother lives in America & he said he goes to the oyster bar & gets a bucket of boiled oysters as he is sat having a beer. He said I would love them as I am a big seafood lover. So yes for me it would be oysters too

You should. They can be tasty. Depending on the quality of the takeaway you can have them sober.
Bad ones are salty and fatty. Good ones are more meaty and flavourful.
If you can get a hand prepared one then even better. These are made by marinading cuts of meat then stacking them on a skewer.
The cheap ones are processed and are endearingly referred to as elephant legs.

Don't even go there Teddy - disgusting saturated fat! I even make my husband feel guilty for this 'food'? It could be his version of our 'fish & chips' if we want to stereotype! Plus, he agrees now, in fairness - saturated fat at its worst!
(I know I'm totally veggie but my husband does agree tbh - once he had a chicken kebab when we were in Turkey last December). He ended up being envious of my falafel wrap - I did insist we share it btw.
