The Omnivore’s Hundred

This is a fun little exercise going through the blog world. Listed below is 100 things every omnivore needs to or should have tried in their life. The list includes strange food, fine food, everyday food and some downright gross food. Although I haven't tried it all, I'm working on it. If you don't recognize everything in the list, Wikipedia has the answers.

Here's what you should do:
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/ (original posting) linking to your results.
