Food you haven't tried?

[Ruthy]

Well I must say I have tried virtually everything. So a few comments.
Poulane bread is way overrated. It is available in NYC but we get bread as good and better from local bakeries.
Nothing is easier to cook than foie gras either as a terrine or sauté. If you buy a whole one, cut it into 1/2" slices, vacuum pack them individually and freeze. It will last a long time. Sear a slice before it is totally defrosted and serve with a fruit sauce - heaven!
One has to be very careful with truffles. Never buy one without sniffing. I have had truffles that make me swoon and others that have no aroma whatsoever.
I find it difficult to believe that anyone in the 'food world' would be afraid to eat a soft shell crab but I always clean them myself immediately before putting them in the pan so as not to lose the juices.
Bottarga can sometimes taste very fishy but I had some in Spain that was wonderful.
Yes there are a few wines on my list that I have never tried but once you have tasted a few truly great wines adding to the list is merely a matter of vanity!

Ihave tried most of the above [except the monkey brains] but one food that does interest me is cactus..havent found it here in OZ yet.I am also a chilli fan so perhaps some more varieties.

Hey Chili boy where are you??

The cactus I've tried really didn't impress me too much. I had it as a salsa, and it was just kind of slimey . . . my theory is that you have to try everything at least twice, though, because maybe it wasn't prepared well the first time or two. I've seen it in cans as well, but haven't tried it. The tuna though (the fruit of the cactus) is wonderful!

Fresh cactus Pads (?) are ok...lemony green beany flavor...I would assume like anything else canned is vary different from fresh.
I just sauted mine in a little oil.
Got el Ray, Shraffenburger (nibs!!!!!) and choc in New Orleans at Wild Oats go figure.
