Fantasy Food

Last night the hubby and I got dressed up and headed out to a fundraiser for our local Science Center.  We went with our friends Jeff and Alaina.

All food and drink was included in the ticket price, and some of the best restaurants in the city were there with tasty samples.  Naturally, we tried one of everything.

Some kind of puff pastry, pork thing & golden beet with goat cheese balsamic sauce
A peanut butter, chocolate and sponge toffee dessert & A fish taco
Some kind of raw fish on a cracker & crispy polenta with pork belly
Pulled Pork

Cheesecake cup
A warm salad

Can't remember what this was :-)
 
Some things I can't remember, but one of them was made with beef tongue - it wasn't good
Kangaroo Meat on a Bun
A Poutine Spring Roll and Some other thing
This was a dried ice thing made from the essence of popcorn
Foie Gras with Black Truffles (this was nasty)

I tried quite a few foods that I had never had before, including kangaroo (tastes like beef), beef tongue, and foie gras.  I would eat the kangaroo again, but the others were repulsive.  My favourite bites of the night included the fish taco, the beet with goat cheese, the pulled pork sandwich and the pork belly with crispy polenta.

Have you ever eaten kangaroo?  Foie gras?  Tongue?
