The Omnivore's Hundred

I found this list on another blog. It's kind of fun to see what you have eaten on it. There is a Vegetarian one too that I'll try posting later on. I've eaten a lot of the stuff on the list, but then again, I'll try most things at least once. I have put a link to most of the ones that I have eaten, but some of them didn't need them....like the insects......

From the Very Good Taste Blog:

Here’s a chance for a little interactivity for all the bloggers out there. Below is a list of 100 things that I think every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life. The list includes fine food, strange food, everyday food and even some pretty bad food - but a good omnivore should really try it all. Don’t worry if you haven’t, mind you; neither have I, though I’ll be sure to work on it. Don’t worry if you don’t recognise everything in the hundred, either; Wikipedia has the answers.

1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
4) Optional extra: Post a comment here at http://www.verygoodtaste.co.uk/ linking to your results.
