The Omnivore’s 100

By now, I’m sure that most of you have seen this list somewhere on at least one of your favorite food blogs. Andrew at Very Good Taste has written a list of 100 things that every omnivore should try at least once. Some of these things are pretty tame, others…well…not so much. lol I have had a lot of fun reading others’ responses, so I figured it was my turn. :D

Here are the instructions if you’d like to participate:

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 www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.
