1. Pattypan Squash
2. Beets
3. Eel
4.Wahoo
5.Lychee
6.Quinoa
7. Raw Oyster
8. Octopus
9. Duck

17. Cottage Cheese
18. Crawfish
19. Shrimp & Grits
20. Rice Pudding
21. Pimento Cheese
22. Pork Rinds

I was afraid to try these two things because I was afraid I was going to like them and set myself down a path of unhealthy snacking. Both appeal to my salty cravings. I unfortunately love American cheese (and Velveeta for example) and of course pork. So I was pleasantly surprised when both things underwhelmed me.

The texture of the pimento spread was definitely unappealing. It was chunky, but the chunks were soft, if that makes sense.


The pimentos make it a little spicy. I think it tastes very comparable to cold queso dip. In which case, I'd rather just have warm queso dip.

I believe it is sometimes used in recipes. I wouldn't be averse to trying it mixed with something else.

The pork rinds had a texture somewhat like a cheese puff. And tasted somewhat like a cheese puff, without any cheese. There was a vague pork flavor but if no one told you what flavor it was you might miss it.


Neither were terrible, and both are certainly new and unique flavors. But I probably won't be having either again any time soon.
