The Omnivore's 100

This is sort of cute. It comes from a UK website, with all that means. I only stuck off one item (roadkill) but I would not be a bit surprised if I have eaten it in China, Indonesia, South America, or maybe somewhere in Louisiana.

Here's the game:

1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten. (I also italicized the things I have not eaten for clarity)
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.

  1. I've eaten almost everything you've eaten on the menu. In fact, tonight I'm cooking snail. I don't mind eating them, but not sure how I'll feel once I'm done cleaning them. We did have absinthe this weekend. I hate anise, but it's suprisingly not as anise-y as I thought.
