Okay, even though I have no clue what most of this stuff on Novella's list is, (I do like the tomatoes, though!), I have to agree with the logic.
I really think this is a bogus question. The list (much like the 50 greatest Americans) is so dependent on individual opinion.
I may have an eating disorder or something, but I attach a lot of sentiment and nostalgia to food. My top 5 would have to include my grandmother's biscuits, (American biscuits. Not cookies) but only because I have such awesome memories surrounding them. Most would say "biscuits? That's awful blaise...".
But they didn't walk into my grandmother's house after an evening of December sledding and warm their hands next to the oven while the biscuits baked. Nor did they let the singed steam rise into their faces as grandma opened the oven door to take them out. And they didn't let the warm, butter-soaked bread wash over their tongue with a dollup of grape jelly while they sat at the kitchen table and talked with my grandfather (God rest his soul).
Yeah, grandma's biscuits.
Maybe cliche, maybe tame, but definitely in the top 5.

Just so you all know, the Hufu is backordered. I thought about getting some (hey, it's interesting), but looks like it's a no-go.
Boonies are plural. Their's no such thing as a boony (at least not that I know). It means I live in a rural area where my neighbors would never touch a package of mine unless it was getting rain/snowed on (in which case they would take it into their own homes if my door was locked).

For those in the UK that are interested, Alternative Meats is now selling wildebeest, wood pigeon, and zebra, amongst other interesting meats.

Just the thought of eating these is making me feel sick!

Nothing wrong with a bit of pigeon. Some other tasty dead animals on that there site as well.

Don't try ladybugs. I had one yesterday by mistake and it tasted terrible and then made my tongue numb. It has squirreled its way into a nest of tortilla chips and got smuggled into my mouth by accident.
I had excellent pigeon in England a while back, in a demi-glace and port reduction. They don't sell that kind in the US. And rock doves (US 'pigeons') are NOT pigeons.
