There are so many things on this list that scare me. I'm off for some beans on toast.

50 for me, which was more than I thought I'd tried. Of those you haven't tried, I would recommend the cognac/cigars or single malt. I wouldn't recommend roadkill.......

I see at least one you haven't counted for yourself - the tasting menu at a Michelin three-star place. Of course you have, and you blogged about it too.

Ah Ha....Susan!

You see, I debated that one for AGES. I have been to a Michelin 3 starred restaurant but I didn't have the tasting menu!! I always had a set menu... so I thought hard and long about it and thought that maybe it didn't count.... unless... does El Bulli count as a tasting menu or a set menu??
