51 of 100 isn't too bad! I wish this list had included things like teff, kvass, and boudin!
I was hesitant to take this meme because it's the sort of thing that makes me think "Oh, I grew up in the country with little money, my results will be silly compared to those of my friends who grew up in cities and with more money."
Nope! I think Yale has provided the leveling factor. But I also think I'm willing to try stuff, and that makes me happy.
