The Omnivore's Hundred

I found this delightful survey over at Sam's Antics of a Cycling Cook and just had to participate.

A Very Good Taste started this list as a way for foodbloggers everywhere to interact--and it's been hugely successful so far!

This list includes all sorts of various foods--some exotic, some not. Here are the rules if you want to participate:

- Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
- Bold all the items you've eaten.
- Cross out any items that you would never consider eating
- Optional extra: post a comment at http://www.verygoodtaste.co.uk/ linking to your results.
