The Omnivore's Hundred

Purely for the sake of research... Oh, who am I kidding? I'll do anything to keep from writing! Anyway, this list is a test of your gustatory (ain't that a nifty little word?) prowess.

Here’s what I want you to 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.
