Eat Everything On The BBC's "Eat These 50 Things Before You Die" List


WHY?



Apparently you must try these things before you die.

DONE?

Not yet

I've ate a few things from the list already. However for this experiment I will eat them again to photograph the proceedings. I hate seafood so i am a bit worried about the large amount of seafood on the list.

1. fresh fish - It looked disgusting, it smelled disgusting, and my god it tasted disgusting 11. Moreton Bay Bugs 21. Oysters 31. Venison - I had some Venison at in Largs. It was ok. 41. Mango - What a bastard it was to get to the skin off. Was ok, but not great
2. Lobster - After struggling to get the meat I got a large chunk. It was ok tasting, definetly the least horrible seafood i've had on the list so far. But it was still seafood and a bit disgusting. 12. Clam Chowder 22. Kangaroo - There's only one place to get kangaroo in Glasgow, and thats walkabout. A lovely kangaroo burger with all the trimmings. I love it 32. Guinea Pig 42. Durian Fruit
3. Steak - I used to love steak when I was a child before i found out I was allergic to red meat. Really didn't like it now in adulthood 13. Barbeques - I love barbeques, and usually host what has now become a legendary bbq in Cumbernauld every summer. Can't beat a bit of bbq'd meat. 23. Chocolate - I've had lots of chocoate over the years, and love the majority of it 33. Shark - Again another seafood I would maybe consider trying again. Wait is Shark considered seafood? 43. Octopus
4. Thai Food - Lesley and I went out for a meal at a thai place. I had the Thai Green Curry. It was quite tasty until i started tasting the fish products used to make it near the end, which put me off. 14. Pancakes - MMMM Tatsy pancakes. Grabbed a pancake as I was leaving for the football. It was very tasty. Would have been better with some Maple Syrup tho. 24. Sandwiches - Sandwich was an easy one to do. But for the purpose of this challenge I decided to go right out. Two very thickly cut slices of freshly baked bread, Mexicana cheese (one of my favs), piri-piri marinated chicken breast, and roasted red pepper and garlic dressing. It was fucking delicious, and washed down nicely with some chocolate Frijj 34. Sushi - I love sushi, but hate how everyone thinks it is raw fish, it can come in so many varieties. For this I went to Ichiban, and had several different types. 44. Ribs - I saw ribs on the starter menu when lesley and I were out for a meal, I decided to try them. They were delicious and have started a small rib addiction.
5. Chinese Food - Chinese chicken curry to be exact, my god was it tasty 15. Pasta - Pasta has become the main stay in my diet since i've temporary moved back home. It's good when I make it, not so nice and undercooked when my mum makes it 25. Greek Food 35. Paella - For this I had two types of paella. Normal paella with Prawns, yuk! and my mum's vegetarian version which was great 45. Roast Beef - As someone who doesn't eat red meat, I was a bit apprehensive about this. It was minging, it got caught in my teeth and took an age to get out
6. Ice Cream - For this i had the best ice cream in Glasgow. Jaconellis. Can't beat it, especially with a bit of raspberry sauce 16. Mussels 26. Burgers - While out for lunch with Derek and Katy we stopped by the ark for some food. I had a tasty cajun chicken burger. Twas good! 36. barramundi 46. tapas - I quite enjoyed Tapas, the food is really good, but why have so many small dishes its just nonsense, just give me a big plate with loads of random things on it
7. Pizza - I've had many pizza before. I love pizza so for this challenge I decided to try a pizza with a difference. When Scott and I were walking through Rose street in Edinburgh we noticed a sign for Haggis Pizza. We both love pizza, and we both love Haggis so we gave it a try. Not the greatest pizza in the world, but it was alright. 17. Cheesecake - You can't beat a bit of cheesecake in the afternoon, especially some homemade stuff. 27. Mexican Food - ARRIBA!! I love mexican food, so this wasn't really a challenge. 37. Reindeer 47. Jerk Chicken/Pork - Oh my god this was so delicious, I could live on this stuff if I was allowed
8. Crab - I wasn't really impressed with this, was basically the same as lobster. 18. lamb - Quite a few people were surprised when I said that this was my first time ever trying lamb is when I do this challenge. It was quite minging actually. I'm not really a fan of red meat but this has to be the worst so far. 28. Squid - Ross bought some dried squid back from Japan. It was tough as leather, stunk to high heaven, and tasted disgusting 38. kebab 48. haggis - The haggis went down easy and tasted brilliant. I knew there would be no problem with this as I love haggis
9. Curry - For a proper curry there's only one place to go, Bombay Dreams. I had turka Dall. It was fantastic 19. Cream Tea 29. American Diner Breakfast 39. Scallops 49. Caviar
10. Prawns - The first seafood in the list I tried. It wasn't to bad at first, then I remembered I was eating seafood and had to stop myself gagging. The fishy after taste was disgusting 20. Alligator - Had a Fillet of Alligator. It was actually quite tasty, defiently something I would seriously consider if it was on a menu 30. Salmon - Had some salmon on top of my sushi. Decided to take it of the rice bed and just sample it, Japanese faux pas I know. Despite being seafood I really didn't mind it at all 40. Austrialian Meat Pie 50. Cornish Pasty - There's a wee shop in Stirling that cooks all sorts of pasties from scratch, the majority of them are top notch, this one was... alright
