Yup, anyone who hasn’t spent time in Scotland or the UK (I live in the U.S. but grew up “over there”) would find my additions quite prosaic. The same goes for Southern/US entries on that list - normal if you’ve spent time here, not if you haven’t.
I added Red Stripe because I’ve had it in Jamaica (it’s an iconic Jamaican brand) but have not seen it outside of that country. Mind you, I haven’t looked for it…I think it’s sort of equivalent to Budweiser here.
It’s pretty common in the US. At least, I’ve never had any difficulty finding it in Chicago. It’s one of the more widely available imports, in my experience.
Well - Pocky, sushi, sauerkraut and head cheese along with a dozen or more others - all ubiquitous items throughout the U.S. - are on the OP list too.
Apparently “widely available” doesn’t = “most people have tried.” 
Weird list. Yes, there are a lot of Southern foods on the list but also a number of random Asian selections among others. You have to be a special kind of person to be well versed in all of of those styles. I got an 80.
I haven’t had:
2. Absinthe
4. Baba Ghanoush
8. Bellini
9. Bird’s Nest Soup
11. Black Pudding
27. Currywurst
28. Dandelion Wine
29. Dulce De Leche
30. Durian
41. Fugu
48. Haggis
58. Lassi
65. Oxtail Soup
69. Pavlova
70. Phaal
76. Pocky
78. Prickly Pear
79. Rabbit Stew
89. Som Tam
90. Spaetzle
97. Umeboshi
Not sure I would count pocky as ubiquitous. It’s only within the last few years that I’ve started noticing them being more widely available than just Asian supermarkets.
I saw Pocky at a suburban SE Michigan (Grand Blanc) Wal-Mart today - so if it’s in white-bread, suburban Wal-Marts I’m counting it as ubiquitous.
36 to the best of my knowledge- my Dad used to have access to a major English zoo’s meat freezer, which contained some very interesting stuff, and I’m not wholly sure what he brought home somtimes…:eek:
I’ve not been to the US, I’ve been veggie for 7 years and I’m 28, which cuts it down a bit.
Crickets are on the list though 
Oh, right, OK. I thought you were going to say the beer itself was unusual in some way. If we include unusual brands, then the list is going to get huuuge. Irn Bru counts though, I reckon, because it is a distinctive flavour. Did you like it?
It’s been many years - but yes, I liked Irn Bru! Touted as a hangover cure at the time (1970s) and I used it as such.

My parents never took me camping, therefore I never had a s’more.
OK, I’m lying. 
I can’t take anything like this seriously… it has haggis on it. How can that be a “can’t miss” food?
I stopped reading when I hit haggis… until I looked at the end of the list and found s’mores.
Please ignore this post
Because haggis is delicious. If you’ve ever eaten a hot dog you’ve probably already consumed similar constituent ingredients.
LOL! No doubt, haggis is delicious to some people. It has to be, or it wouldn’t be sold.
But I’ll pass. Forever. You can have my serving at the next haggis picnic.
Huh. Like I said, I guess they really must have become much more widely distributed than they once were. Five years ago or so, I couldn’t find them anywhere but Asian grocery stores.
I don’t remember seeing it in the States, but I admit to not having looked all that hard for it. I had it at an Imbiss along the Elbe, and it was tasty, though not in my top 100 things to eat. Really not even among the top sausages—that’d be reserved for the hot smoked sausage from Kreuz Market in Lockhart, TX. Or a smoked boudin from Pierson & Co. in Houston.
I had currywurst for the first time in Hamburg, the Christmas before last. I was so excited - had been hearing about it for years. It was a huge disappointment. The sausage was nothing special, and the curry sauce was beyond sweet, and pretty revolting. They did have, however, an amazing machine they used to slice the wurst - just pop the sausage in the top and hold a tray below; bingo, sliced wurst. That made up for it.
I’ve had Durian, but it was hard to get hold of - our Asian population is chiefly Chinese and Indian, so no, it wasn’t in our markets (I looked). Eventually got hooked up by a speciality fruit importer (ditto for dragonfruit and Buddha’s Hand) - but then again, that’s the kind of person I meet because I actively go looking for this kind of thing.
Well every country has its weirdo soft drinks. Sweden has the likes of Pommac and Sockerdricka (literally “sugar drink”, the most honest name ever?). I remember drinking some foul local concoction on Malta. So I guess I was just more amused and confused by the randomness of choosing Irn Bru.
Anyway, it isn’t like it doesn’t have an international presence:

Oh and Red Stripe is foul stuff. Drank far too much of it in my youth due to their sponsorship of music events. But really quite foul. Would never choose to drink it these days.
You only live once. Come on… you would never know how great you’d feel until you try them. You can only predict how something or some place is going to be until you actual get in it. All the preparations don’t mean a lot until you actually experience things. NO? Life is there so you can acquire vast experiences and memories. Still, no?
Yeah, all it is is basically knockwurst (or similar. I hear bratwurst is used in Western Germany, but I’ve only had it with knockwurst or a similar sausage) served with a ketchup spiked with curry powder. There’s nothing really special about it, and were I to nominate a German sausage as must-try street food, it’d be the Thuringer Rostbratwurst.
I LOVE POCKY!! I love the pink kind too. Strawberry. Yum.
I have had 34 things on the list. I’m 24 so I guess that’s good. Weird list though. Pineapple and cottage cheese?! What’s with that? That’s a special food in some way? I don’t get it.
A few of the ones I’m proud of: alligator, absinthe, and currywurst.
