There's some on the list I'll get around to, but a lot that doesn't interest me, and quite a few I have no clue at all. I'm not that adventurous, I guess.

I'm at 60/100. Not bad! Of course, one of my life missions is to eat well, eat adventurously, and enjoy it.
 I did, however, think there were some things missing from that list. Kimchi, for one.

75. Roadkill
roadkill???? actually, I've had roadkill, sort of. was following the father-in-law to his cabin in W. Virginia one time and several deer, including a fawn that was maybe 3 months old, ran across the road in front of his truck. the fawn was a little slower than the others, though and ended up getting clipped by his trailer. we stopped and checked on the fawn, who unfortunately had a broken neck. so we took it with us and had it the next day during the big cookout at the hunting camp. best, tenderest, tastiest meat I've ever eaten. dont think I'd eat something that had been lying dead on the road for an unknown length of time tho...

Great list! I'll check mine off later.
However, I noticed that Moon Pies / RC Cola (one goes with the other) and Little Debbie's are curiously missing from this list. Saag would be a good entry too.
