12. Pho***
You've never had pho? Mmm, that stuff is great. I've tried many times to make my own, and it's passable, but it's never as good as when I get it in some really tiny Vietnamese place.
48. Eel
If you like sushi, you're missing out by not ordering unagi. I get it every time I eat sushi.
How come nobody has had haggis? That stuff gets a bad rap. The secret is to order it as an appetizer, because it comes ground up and you put it on toast or crackers. You don't have to see it in the intestine shape.
No Pho, not yet. There are supposed to be some great places in the City to get it.
I like sushi enough. I've tried a few things I've really liked and a few things that I thought were meh, but I'll keep eel in mind next time we go to Toshi.
I will absolutely try haggis, but probably not until I go to Scotland.
I'm not afraid of weird food at all. If Toast and I ever get on to TAR, I'll be the one to eat all the weird stuff.
Ha! Clare wants us to go on The Amazing Race. I didn't know there was weird food involved, but I would definitely be the one taking care of that.
You've never had vodka jello? Seriously?
Tracy, there are some true gems you are missing out on. You're so close to NYC, you've got to be able to get most of this stuff. Probably the only things not available in NYC would be croc, whole insects and road kill.
The guy at the farmer's market here in Campbell makes some primo andouillette. Sadly, good pho and steamed pork buns are a rarity in the US.
