I've only had 31, and there are very few on there I'm interested or willing to add.

I hit forty, I'm not sure if that's good or not

I've had 37, but don't see any on there I wouldn't try.

Hagas is definately out for me! And I've had several opportunities for mussles and oysters and just can't try them.

I only ate Gator because it was parmageaned and I was being pressured.

I've had 41. I'd like to try everything on the list, though...

Actually, after looking at the list again -- Hagas is not something I have a great desire to try, either (though I probably would after a few drinks). I'm pretty adventurous when it comes to food, though, and will try most things.

Also, a lot of the things on the list that I haven't had yet are things that most people wouldn't consider to be all that "scary" (i.e., I haven't had reindeer, kangaroo, paella or barramundi, but I don't think most people would be particularly repulsed by any of those things -- most of the things on the list that people would be squeamish about are things I've tried).

When was the last time anybody looked at a guinea pig and thought,"...mmmm, lunch!"?

I've had 43 things on that list, including haggis. There's really nothing wrong with it and I've never understood why people have such an aversion to it.
