The "I really want to try it!" Food Thread

OP

I wouldn't mind trying Taco Bell before I croak it - I love mexican food (regardless of authenticity) and the ads they put out always look awesome, and apparently it's really cheap.

I know we have like 2 restaurants here in the UK, but naturally, they're a trazillion miles from me.

Dragon fruit is pretty but plain.
I really want to try Lucky Charms and French Macarons.

IS THAT WHAT THOSE ARE??
I keep seeing those on groupon adverts and think they've just photoshopped some burgers hahahaha :colondollar:

I found crocodile too tough. Might have just been bad luck with what bit I had, but I didn't find it very nice.

Where are you finding crocodile? don't suppose anywhere in London?

I went on holiday to South Africa quite a number of years back. They have crocodile farms there.
Though there must be somewhere in London that sells them..

Thanks, quite a lot of good stuff on there, I meant more in terms of a restaurant though.

These are sooooooooo popular where I live haha. Their deliciousness depends on what flavour you have. I had a lavender one that put me right off them, but I had a lime one that was :coma:

As for what I would like to try...durian, sake, hmmm i'm not sure what else...

Durian is amazing but as long as they are not to mushy. They also do fried durian. Amazing stuff, definite one of my favourite thing to eat.

I can't find Macarons anywhere around here D:

I live in a predominantly Indian/Pakistani area so there's loads of Indian sweet shops around and I keep meaning to try....

I've tried some like the green one which I liked because it's pistachio but the pink one was disappointing because I thought it was going to be nougat-y but it was more like a fried sponge cake in honey :cry2:

I might get some later :ahee:

The $5000 burger.

Is that the one with gold dust sprinkled on it?

No I think that one is even more expensive and not from Vegas. (But still from the states).

I would love to try some of those sweets!! One of the contestants on Come Dine with Me served them up, and I was like, "wow, those look damned good!" Pistachio is something we don't see enough of in sweets in my opinion...

I bought a box from the local halal grocers and was fairly disapointed. They all tasted fairly similar, like bad fudge.
