On multiple occasions, I have been described as a "chef's worst nightmare" as I am not at all food adventurous.

i've thought about it all day, and I can't come up with anything. We are adventurous eaters in this family, so I've at least tried nearly everything mentioned below.

My friend and I have a thing going about durian. Truth be told, I'm not sure I could actually do it!

Steak Tartare, I think it might be rank but I'd try it!

Edit: After further investigation, I could have eaten something similar in the form of Mett in Germany - raw minced pork. It was definitely on the breakfast table but I can't remember if I ate it myself!

I love raw beef! Seasoned with a little onion salt, it's quite good.

Careful if you do order it. I ordered it at a restaurant on Rue Balzac in Paris and it was mixed with mayo. Gross.

polish people like this. I tried it, didn't care for it. I like my meat rare, but not that rare

I was tempted to say 'Haggis' but I think it would be better to try something I might actually like. So today I'm going for Gumbo.

I have eaten many animals and foods. I haven't had much Indian food. So I'm going to say that. I see they have like 10 course meals and you just kind of mix and match. That seems like fun.

LOVE indian food. we go to an indian buffet for lunch occasionally and it is soooo good. except the goat curry. too chewy. But even the kids love everything else.

@jenaissance: I like what I've had, but mostly like buffet stuff. I have a weak stomach for things like that, although I like it a lot. Which is why I don't usually pick that option.

Wow, sounds like you have tried quite a few dishes. I wish I was so adventurous when it comes to food. I usually play it safe.

That one Korean dish that's made of still-wriggling octopus tentacles... and sesame of course. I don't know if it would taste good, but it's just so adventurous... I'd want to see what it's like!

The sesame on that just seems so arbitrary... A sprinkle of sanity in an otherwise nauseating writhing tangle. Yuck :P
