I interrupt my steady stream of fairly mundane every-day posts for a list break. Stole this list from here. I just thought it was kind of fun, though the selection principle strikes me as a bit mysterious. All the foods that person could think of that might strike anyone as at least slightly unconventional, together with some highly conventional ones? Anyway, things I have eaten are in bold.
If I have not miscounted, my score is a pathetic 69/100. Got to work on that.

You probably didn't accidentally eat at a 3-star restaurant. There are only 7 in the U.S., and only 60 or so worldwide (outside of France). See www.3starrestaurants.com - trying to tackle some of the places on this list would indeed be fun, if you're willing to spend what I guess would be $150 or more per person for a meal.
