You've never had sauerkraut? Are you sure?

[avram]

No, I'm not sure. I mean, my mother would eat it when I was a kid, and I have a conviction that I don't like it, but I don't know if I ever tasted it, or just rejected it based on smell.

[bugsybanana.livejournal.com]

Your mother eats sauerkraut now. I do too - it's tasty.

[bugsybanana.livejournal.com]

You've definitely had bagna cauda, that one time at the Stinking Rose - I haven't forgotten. And I know they served venison chili at one Beyond the Con. And gefilte fish has carp in it!

I'm also surprised at borscht, baba ghanoush, and catfish, but can't point at any evidence of you eating them.

I think I've had currywurst, and liked it.

OK, time to edit the list.

[avram]

There are a bunch of items I'm not sure of, so I left them out. Catfish, gazpacho, sea urchin, sweetbreads, borscht. On reflection, I think I have had baba ghanoush.
