Hey! I got to 56.  My daughter, Nancy, (at Zimmerzoo,) who says she doesn’t eat anything except potatoes (well, maybe a few other things,) got 47!  She doesn’t even like blue berries or pizza!  I thought I ate everything, but there were several things I’ve never heard of, not to mention the ones I haven’t had the opportunity to try — or the few I thought “yuck.”

Zimmerzoo is where I got the list and the instructions — she got it from another blog who got it from another one, etc., etc.
