Hi, all. How adventurous are you with trying new things? Check out this Challenge - http://www.listchallenges.com/100foods/. Then share how you scored.

When you select your foods, you can save your changes and it continues you to the next step, which asks you if you want to share it on your Facebook page (if you have one). I chose not to keep going - but it's up to you if you want to continue!

I did this about 2 years ago (I think), and scored 50, and was just thinking about it this morning and wondering how I would score today. So I scored 64 today - it really challenged me to keep trying new things!!

Some things I have never even heard of - has anyone ever tried:

Durian; Fugu; Head Cheese; Paneer; Spaetzle; Umeboshi?

    Head cheese is a meat dish using brain, tongue and sometimes offal. It's weird but it can be nice.......

    40. And most of those (like eel and black pudding) were as a kid.

    I scored 79... so many things on that list were basic! I'd love to try kangaroo.

    39, better than I thought it would be. Seemed like a lot we're desserts, may explain why I have so much weight to lose :)

    I scored a 56; shocked me too...but this comes from 23 years of marriage to a chef (he has forced me to try a lot of things...I never said I liked them all :laugh: )

    I'm a vegetarian, so I'm very limited with my score! I think I tried everything that I could though...

    I actually had raw kangaroo at Tim Love's restaurant, Lonesome Dove last week, which puts my total at 55 out of 100. I will never try Durian though, even Andrew Zimmern doesn't like it!

    I scored 32, but I'm not big on fried food or raw food so that cut a lot for me ;)

    I agree, and am totally impressed with your score. I am so glad I can say that I HAVE tried kangaroo - not too bad. More a gamey meat. Surprised they don't have crocodile on the list (if they did, I would have scored 65!). I would like to try to hit at least another 15 foods in the next 12 months, if I can.
