55 to go!? That’s pretty pitiful in my eyes but I may keep this list handy before
heading out to tastings. My palette is definitely evolving (thankfully.)

 

I’ve never actually had a Big Mac (nor the whole meal) because the sandwich is well
rather large. Nor am I really keen on fast food – but if it’s on the list I may have a bite..

 

 

 

Is there anything on this list you wouldn’t try?
