Oooh! That was fun, lots of Wikipedia needed there! 66/100 isn't too bad. It seems I will have to eat a tomato to finish the list though, I think I'd rather the roadkill. Might have to go to mexico too! Cant wait to do number 84, in Chapter One when it gets three stars :)
I think I'll start completing the list tonight with a Dirty gin martini.

Haha, 69! well done! (well 70 after your dirty Martini) Pity bold doesn't come up that well on your blog, but its clear in google reader. I had curried baby goat before and Huevos rancheros in Mexico, but my total was only around the 50 mark. Never had poitín? I wonder if you eat some dead insects off the wind-shield of a car you get 2 for 1. Good luck finishing the list!
