53...
I have tried to be pretty adventurous in trying new foods while in Asia. If you knew me as a child, I think you would be shocked with the foods that leave my plate. I was definitely a picky eater. My travels to Europe and Asia have expanded my palate but have also helped me to always be willing to try at least one bite.
Things I never ate as a child but do now:
I have not tried the fish head curry (including eyeball), pig organ soup, silk worms in a cup from Korea or other crazy insects. I'm pretty confident I can do without these. :)

Things I never ate as a child but do now:
- Tomatoes
- Potatoes, in any format other than thin french fries
- Avocado
- Red, yellow and orange peppers (still working on green)
- Raw fish in "sushi rolls" - have yet to tackle sashimi
- Oysters
- Rice
- Foi gras
- Asian sauces
- Chinese tea
- Fried egg
- Broccoli
- ....and the list could go on.
And here are some of the items I've consumed which I would say are more on my exotic spectrum:
Tripe
Century Egg
Sea cucumber
Durian (I tried this a long time back :) )
Chicken feet (well, foot) - the before and after shots
Most recently, frog in Cambodia
Have a great lunch!! ;)
