It's a mental block with steak tartare. Raw beef. I've managed to bring my "eww raw meat!" reaction down to the point where I prefer a medium rare steak, but I'm not sure I'm ready for that extra step. Maybe one day.
I think I've had shark as it's commonly sold in Aussie fish and chip shops as "flake". I haven't had it for years though as I don't really like most fish.
I don't like nuts, so I've assumed I wouldn't like pistachio ice cream. Also, those places usually also sell my favourite mint choc chip which I almost never say no to.
I'm sure I've even ever seen a key lime pie. For weird American pies I've had pumpkin pie though, that was pretty good.
I didn't think sweetbreads were testicles, I thought they were random internals that mostly sound gross to a wuss like me.
Did dried durian smell less? I've heard it doesn't taste like it smells but with that stench I don't think I could physically bring myself close enough to the fruit to take a bite out to find out.
I'm a creature of habit when it comes to ordering, although I've been trying to make myself be more adventurous the last few years which has added a huge amount to the list. 10 years ago I doubt I could have ticked 10 of the things on it. Fugu sounds like something you should definitely not try at home! Kobe beef means a trip to Japan, both are things I want to do. If Australia is too far, maybe we should meet in Japan one day for steak!
