"THE OMNIVORE'S HUNDRED" MEME

All around the food blogosphere, many people have already blogged about this meme. It is a very subjective, eclectic and non-exhaustive list of foods as well as drinks that any good omnivore is supposed to have tasted at least once in his/her life. The creator of this meme is none other than Andrew at "Very Good Taste" in the UK...

I haven't eaten and drunk many things on that list, so I guess that I'll have to expand my culinary knowledge a little more in the near future!

Here what you have 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.
4. Optional extra - Post a comment at "Very Good Taste" (UK) linking to your results.
