[Sca-cooks] Antonia's Hundred (was RE: The Omnivore's Hundred)

[Antonia Calvo]

Let me try that again...

OK, my code here is
* haven't tried, but would
** haven't tried and won't
X have tried and hated

1. Venison - I eat it fairly regularly.

*2. Nettle tea - doesn't sound all that appealing..

3. Huevos rancheros - Have tried, would eat again. Not all that 
exciting, but good

4. Steak tartare - Yum!

* 5. Crocodile - nope.  I think you can get it in one or two restaurants 
here, but the general concensus seems to be "overrated".

6. Black pudding - Yup.  I don't care for it especially, but I've eaten it.

7. Cheese fondue - Yum!!  Much better than the chocolate kind.

8. Carp - Yup.  It's not that exciting.

9. Borscht - Yes, delicious.

10. Baba ghanoush - Another one that I don't love, but it's OK.

11. Calamari - Yes-- a pretty common restaurant food here, and even some 
fish 'n' chip shops have it. It ranges from delicious to only so-so.

12. Pho - Yes-- had a big bowl of it a couple of weeks ago.  Quite nice. 

13. PB&J sandwich - Yup.

14. Aloo gobi - Yes.

15. Hot dog from a street cart  -  Yes.

X 16. Epoisses - Yecch!  That was an angry, angry cheese!

* 17. Black truffle - I cannot possibly believe these are worth the money.

18. Fruit wine made from something other than grapes - Yes.

19. Steamed pork buns - delicious, but not nearly as good as baked pork 
buns.

20. Pistachio ice cream - yum!  The best gelato I've had recently was 
from a little shop in Auckland-- one scoop of pistachio, and one of 
saffron.

21. Heirloom tomatoes - Yes.

22. Fresh wild berries - Yum! 

** 23. Foie gras - Je refuse.  This is where I draw the line in terms of 
food and animal welfare.

24. Rice and beans - yes.

25. Brawn, or head cheese - Yes.

** 26. Raw Scotch Bonnet pepper - Sounds like a particularly dumbarsed 
idea.

27. Dulce de leche - Good in small doses.

X 28. Oysters - I do not like them, Sam I am.

29. Baklava (Both Greek and Persian) - Om nom nom nom...

30. Bagna cauda  - Yes.

* 31. Wasabi peas - They don't really appeal-- I don't really care for 
wasabi.

32. Clam chowder in a sourdough bowl - clam chowder, yes, bread bowl, 
no.  I think that may be an American thing.

33. Salted lassi  - Yes.

34. Sauerkraut - I make my own.

35. Root beer float  - OMG!  Yes!

36. Cognac with a fat cigar - Cognac, yes.  Cigar, yes, but not 
together, and not likely to since I haven't smoked in many, many years.

37. Clotted cream tea - Yes. I think the more usual term is "Devonshire 
tea".

38. Vodka jelly - Yes.

39. Gumbo - Yes.

40. Oxtail - Haven't had this in years, but it is sooo good.

41. Curried goat - Yes. Young goat is delicious.

* 42. Whole insects - only by accident.

** 43. Phaal - No, I think not.

44. Goat’s milk - Yes.

45. Malt whisky from a bottle worth £60/$120 or more - Yes, but it's 
been wasted on me.

* 46. Fugu

47. Chicken tikka masala. Yes.

48. Eel - Yes-- definitely considered a treat here.

* 49. Krispy Kreme original glazed doughnut - (Where the Hell would I 
even get one? And why would I bother?)

* 50. Sea urchin - not uncommon around here, but I don't find it very 
appealing.

51. Prickly pear - Yes.  Pretty unexciting. 

52. Umeboshi - yup.

53. Abalone - Yes.

54. Paneer - yes.

55. McDonald’s Big Mac Meal - yes.

56. Spaetzle - Yes.

** 57. Dirty gin martini - I *really* dislike olives.

58. Beer above 8% ABV - Yes.

* 63. Kaolin

* 64. Currywurst

* 65. Durian

kind of thing.

68. Haggis - Yum, delicious!

69. Fried plantain - Ho-hum...

* 70. Chitterlings, or andouillette

71. Gazpacho - someday... I don't hate it, but I'm not that excited by 
it...

72. Caviar and blini - Yup

* 73. Louche absinthe

* 74. Gjetost, or brunost

* 75. Roadkill (assuming it's a species I'd call edible and freshly 
killed...)

* 76. Baijiu

* 77. Hostess Fruit Pie - So very, very American...

* 78. Snail

79. Lapsang souchong

80. Bellini - a bit sweet for me

82. Eggs Benedict - Yes, yes, yes.

* 83. Pocky - I can't work out what the point is.

* 84. Tasting menu at a three-Michelin-star restaurant

* 85. Kobe beef  - ditto!

86. Hare - yup.

87. Goulash - yes, I even make it once in a while.

88. Flowers - rose petal sorbet is pretty good...

* 89. Horse

90. Criollo chocolate  - Yup.

* 91. Spam - I can't imagine why I would...

* 92. Soft shell crab

* 93. Rose harissa

* 94. Catfish

95. Mole poblano - Yup- not a big fan, but it's OK.

96. Bagel and lox - Yes.

97. Lobster Thermidor - It's good, but it's also a lot of lily-gilding.

* 99. Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee - I barely drink coffee.

* 100. Snake
