some of the things are weird. I've had grapes, but I don't know what muscadine grapes are. I've had honey, but I don't know what sourwood honey is. I've had some taco dips that are like frito pie, but it's not frito pie, per se. And some of the stuff I have no freakin' idea what it is. Bourgoo? Yep, sourwood honey was one of the ones I hadn't tried either. Just never seen it. Another I hasn't seen was the hot water cornbread. I love pretty much every kind of cornbread there is, so hot water cornbread is probably no exception, I've just never seen it to try. I have never heard of hot water cornbread either. Or frybread. And add me as one who has never heard of sourwood honey, but I am now curious how it is different than regular honey.

Is fry bread just fried bread dough? If so, I've had that.

Fry bread is popular in the southwest (Arizona and New Mexico) on and around the Indian Reservations. It's just fried dough. A little heavier/doughier than a sopapilla.

Almost like a Soppopia(sp?) or awesome donut but not as sweet. ETA: "Doughnut" for the spelling Nazis.

POM, yes, frybread is good. After eating it a few times, I can see why some of the native populations that eat it as a staple have huge issues with obesity and diabetes. Every time I ate some frybread, I could hear my pancreas begging for mercy.

I grew up in texas and we had some wild vines in our neighborhood. I've tried 77.

I have 13 But, all but about 15 of those items I wouldn't eat unless I or someone close to me cooked them. Due to allergies most of those could easily be made in a way in which would make me sick & many are definitely made in a way that would make me sick. So unless I get far more interested in cooking new items than I am now, then I don't expect to ever try most of those.

My MIL makes frybread every Christmas. She uses the recipe she learned while living on the Navajo reservation. Awesome!
I'm at 81. Most of the things I haven't tried are things I've either never heard of, or never had an opportunity to eat. There are a few on there I don't really want to try, but I would.

I've tried 45 of them, some of which I wouldn't try again. (BTW did the baked beans look strange to anybody else?)

And add me as one who has never heard of sourwood honey, but I am now curious how it is different than regular honey. Sourwood honey comes from bees that make their honey of nectar from the flowers of the sourwood tree. Lotsa sourwood trees in the Carolinas and Georgia, so sourwood honey is quite common around here. It's a pale golden color and has a really strong, sweet honey aroma. Very rich-tasting.

I think not living or traveling to the South hurt my score. I only got 62 for a score. Bourgoo(I forgot the correct spelling) is a stew. I agree with you on the honey and the grapes. I've had many different kinds of honey but not that and wasn't sure about the grapes.

I've had various different fried breads but had no idea what they were referring to. Who makes the water-based cornbread? Perhaps I've had that at a festival somewhere as well.

The only two things listed I really wanted to try were the Persimmon pudding and the elk steak in wine reduction sauce. Yum.

58 Of course, living in the Midwest, we don't exactly do much with seafood. Now panfish we see plenty of!

68 for me. Some strange things on there.
POM- there is a blueberry farm about 1 mile from my work. I pass by it on my way home- so we get them all the time when they are in season. Fresh blueberries are awesome!

78 but if asked how many in the last 7 years the number would go down considerable since I no longer eat red meat. I have always loved to try new foods so no big deal. If it isn't moving on the plate I will try it

Only 41. Hampered by 1) not liking seafood, 2) being somewhat picky anyway, and 3) never spending any significant amount of time in the south.
