Omnivore's 100

I have seen this on several blogs I read regularly and decided to post as well...I'm a food wuss, so probably a lot of these I wouldn't even consider trying...but we shall see....read on!

This is my code - I'm veering off the course of the instructions below.
Red - HaveEaten
Black - Will NOT eat
Purple - Want to eat or would at least try

From Very Good Taste Omnivore’s Hundred:

“Below is a list of 100 things that I think every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life. The list includes fine food, strange food, everyday food and even some pretty bad food - but a good omnivore should really try it all. Don’t worry if you haven’t, mind you; neither have I, though I’ll be sure to work on it. Don’t worry if you don’t recognize everything in the hundred, either; Wikipedia has the answers.”

If you want to join in, here are the 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 here at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.
