The Omnivore's 100
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 verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.
OakMonster's additional - I'm going to Italicize what I haven't eaten yet but REALLY want to someday! Also, the VGT version links some of the lesser known items to Wikipedia for your convenience. Not here. You get to do your own culinary research and learn something new! :)
