This has been floating around a ton of food blogs lately...I just had to join the fun!

1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.

I am not as adventurous! and also an ameteur apparently, didn't know what half of these were! I wonder if someone on the other side of the world would be wondering about Spam, Hostess, and Krispy Creme like Americans wonder about haggis and epoisses and the like!
