OK to I can claim 81 for sure, 3 maybes and only one that I won't touch (fugu) although head cheese would probably rate a quick nibble.
Hubby ordered a stew of mixed veal parts while in Bulgaria last week. It had tongue, brain, tripe etc. I passed on tasting the brain. Don't want to get mad calf disease.
I was always an adventurous foodie. My mother took care to point out all the poisonous vegetation in the yard, lest I try a taste. I found out that water hyacinth really tastes yucky even if Manatees do eat it.
