I've not tried Creme Brulee either. I keep thinking I will.
As for fruit cake, if you need a good door stop or paper weight, there's nothing better.
Catfish is pretty popular here. I love it. We usually take our visitors from up north to eat at one of the several Catfish buffets. I've not tried duck either, but want to.

I do

coffee, though.
Yummy, sushi. Cavier was just salty little nothings to me.
mussels and oysters are like chewing up flavored pencil erasers. You could chew forever and make no progress.
Grits-I do remember some co-workers in from CT that were eating with us at Cracker Barrell, and they asked what a grit was. LOL. They wouldn't try them. But, I couldn't get our auditors from Montreal to try biscuits and gravy, either...
I do happen to be one of those people that will try almost any food one time. I refuse to try blood pudding, though.

We had a friend that traveled to some country where they ate that. I would rather eat a bug.
