100 Foods to eat before you die

This list rolls around every now a then.  It's a decent list for your average person who has not adventured much.  Between living overseas, scuba diving (and hence going to places filled with fish), and being a foodie, the list is not that impressive.  I've tried almost 3/4 of the list.

The general post rolling around claim: "The initial prediction says that of the 100 foods on this list, most people would have only tried about 20 (or less) of them."  I have never met anyone who doesn't have at least 20.  Most people I know have had between 25 and 40

Some of the items are not that impressive to me.  Things like Hostess fruit pies and such.  On the other hand, the list is missing things I would recommend:  thick green tea (matcha), Basmati rice, Ostrich, fresh baked bread.
