This was on a couple of my friends' blogs (Starr and Tami) and I thought it was kind of neat!!
The Omnivore’s Hundred:
The list includes fine food, strange food, everyday food and even some pretty bad food - but a good omnivore should really try it all.
The instructions are quite explicit...
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.
*I did remove all the references to liquor and alcohol as I don’t drink and don’t promote drinking.
