Omnivore's One Hundred

Dear Readers,
Just for fun, I thought I'd pass this on a list by Andrew Wheeler, the UK co-author of a blog called VERY GOOD TASTE. Here he lists 100 things that he thinks every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their lives.

I no longer eat mammals, but you can tell from my boldings that I did.

Andrew Wheeler says the list includes "fine food, strange food, everyday food and even some pretty bad food." The items you don't recognize are defined on Wikipedia.
If you want to get interactive, here’s what you do:

1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
*Note from Terri, since I can't do this, I've written NO.

4) Optional extra: Post a comment at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.
