Oh, and if you decide to play along... Here is a link to the FAQ
How the Omnivore's 100 Works:
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 Had to Grey mine out)
4) Optional: Post a comment at Very Good Taste, linking to your results.
