Would You Eat That? Play the Game.

The Omnivore's Hundred is a list of 100 items that Andrew Wheeler, co-author of the British food blog Very Good Taste, thinks every omnivore should try at least once in his life. I think I did okay. I am missing 28 items on this list. But, I have lots more years of eating ahead of me.

What do you think is missing from the list?

Andrew Wheeler has created this list as the starting point for a game, along the following rules:
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 on Very Good Taste, linking to your results.

(The cute little check marks were taken from Chocolate and Zucchini's website, where I found this list first.)
