The Dociverse Blog 
I’m with you, Doc. Not much there I wouldn’t consider eating. Fugu, I’d want to be sure I had it from a properly licensed place with a well-trained preparer and that there was medical attention readily available nearby, but I’d eat it.
Oh sure. A meme. Nothing like reinforcing how blah and plain I am by presenting a list of 100 from which I’ve only tried 16 or so.
I’ve tried more of these than I expected. However, most of the people doing this meme never seem to cross anything out. I’m way less adventurous with food, and would cross out a bunch of them!
I *was* tickled to be able, along with The Doc, to X-out “frog’s legs”. But I begin to suspect that’s a factor of “Growing Up In The Central Valley”. I went back over the list and remembered an additional 2, but I still can’t break 20. I can scrap another 5 out of Doc’s second list (not counting the at-least 2 I think he duplicated).
But it basically speaks to my nature: I like plain, generic food. I don’t have a lot of curiosity in this realm.
