ETA:  I realized that with the font color, the bolding isn't clear, so I italicized tried items instead.  Also, #36 bothers me, as I have had both some very tasty cognac, and a rather nice handrolled cigar, but on 2 separate occasions.  Make of it what you will.

You are more adventurous than me. But that's likely bc you eat meat :). Though I have tried and love venison.
