Post #50 never got answered, so I will jump in.
I have eaten pickled pigs' feet because Daddy always had a jar in the refrigerator. When I say "eaten," I mean that I tasted them because I was Daddy's girl. So I say that counts!
I've never been to Australia even though my husband has been several times on business. I just don't think I could deal with such a long plane ride. Flying to Tokyo was stressful enough. I mean, you can't drink enough wine to get you through a flight like that, in comparison to flying to Europe. I have a fear of flying, even though I have flown on a regular basis ever since I went to Tulane as a freshman.
