TOTAL: 47. Which, much like Shirley, surprises me. I’m pretty picky, which is why anything having to do with seafood on this list is *not* bold – except the clam chowder, but I’m fairly certain that I like that for the potatoes. And there are some things on this list that I’ve TRIED, but I don’t eat on a regular basis. Some of these things I’ve never even heard of.
Your turn! How many of the top 100 have you tried?
And…if you weren’t hungry before…are you now? *grin*

I’ve only had about 46 of the above dishes. But I really can’t say I have much of a desire to try most of the rest, maybe just a handful of them.
Oh yay! I’m DEFINITELY doing this on my blog!
And you are pretty picky! I feel like I need to make you a peach pie and get you some real chicken wings. And an everything bagel with cream cheese and tomatoes. And some eggs benedict. We can skip the shadroe, though. Ick 🙂
And a fried PB and banana sandwich is awesome. Of course, this is coming from someone who owns an Elvis cookbook, so take that with a grain of salt 🙂
I’ll have the fried catfish, collards w/ tobasco, and fried green tomatoes. Mmmmm…
If you lived in the south – like i do now – you’d check quite a few more off your list – Moon pie w/ RC Cola, shrimp and grits, and many more. Quick count there were only about 15 I haven’t had on that list.
