Meal meme on Monday
I picked up this meme from Wanderin' Weeta. The idea is to mark out in bold the foods you've eaten and cross off the ones you wouldn't touch with a barge pole. Now I know what I've been doing with my time.

Poutine is so bad it's good...
don't the tree ants bite?
I must say I like the sound of poutine.
GTAs do bite but the trick is to be quick and decisive. Grab the head end, squish it and bite off the abdomen! One day I'll try honeypot ants but that's a whole lot more work.
Cannibal!
Cannibal!
*maniacal laugh*
Strange, that nobody has crossed off roadkill yet (so far as I know). Nor bolded it, either.
Thanks for the link!
That says quite a bit about we bloggers! Not sure exactly what, though.
I find it so curious that you've never had a PB&J sandwich. That's probably one of my top 10 foods - even now, I may have one every month or so.
Both eatables that I couldn't contemplate are the Japanese inventions. Kobe beef because the stink of the raw item nauseated me.
I've tried just about all the rest on the list; everything's pretty good if you're hungry. And you need that poutine to give you the energy to walk through freezing Montreal to get to the next poutine cart.
Interestingly, the biggest food culture shock I found wasn't going from Oz to Asia but to USA.
I picked up a taste for PB&J there.
But I didn't come here for that.
We just watched the ABC show about the MREAM artists' co-op at a friend's place after tea.
http://www.abc.net.au/tv/guide/netw/200808/programs/AC0718V015D26082008T220000.htm
and it had such a good flavour of Melbourne artists and struggletown people that I thought of snail and my muso friends in Carlton from days back.
Melbourne artists have a certain something that all of Australia should cherish.
Writers not the least, of course.

D, I missed the programme. I made a note in my diary and then forgot to watch it. It's ages since I've been down there but it used to be on my regular schedule. Not least of all because of the nice little bluestone cafe.
About PB & J sangers. I haven't even tried them because I'm a bit of a PB purist. But since they're coming with so many recommendations, I will have to try one. What sort of J?
With the ABC's recycling more and more of less and less, I doubt it'll be long before the show rolls around again.
The jam depends on your pb predelictions I suppose.
I'm fond of a dryer and saltier butter, which goes with something a bit more tangy than your usual strawberry or red plum.
My most favourite is guava jelly made with limes, followed by black plum, followed by raspberry.
The bread must be super fresh.
A purist will not sully this sandwich with butter or fake butter.

Ooh, guava with limes. I just had an idea --- Davidson's plum. I had some years ago at a do on the Atherton Tablelands catered by the CWA. Home-made, of course, and trowelled onto pikelets. I reckon that would go very nicely ...
Yeah, I'm drooling.
