60. Carob chips - haven't had them in decades, but sometimes I crave them. Where can I find them?
61. S’mores
62. Sweetbreads
63. Kaolin - clay? What?
64. Currywurst - Rolf Babiel is my hookup.

74. Gjetost, or brunost - gjes please.
75. Roadkill - streets are filthy. And even if I knew the meat was fresh because I myself I had run it over, I'd feel too sad to retrieve the carcass.
76. Baijiu - BAIJIU BIG BATTEL! I think this was the stuff that we set on fire on Ben's countertop that one time. You would have, too, rather than drink it.
77. Hostess Fruit Pie
78. Snail
79. Lapsang souchong - just had a cup last night. Of course, it was Twinings, which is to souchong what Seagram's 7 is to whiskey, so I'd like to find a superior version to try.
