The Omnivore's 100

I found this through Jerry, who got it from Krista, who got it from Last Night's Dinner, who got it from Very Good Taste.

Here's the deal . . .

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.

I'm a bit confused by #63 Kaolin...from what I can find, it's a type of clay...and some people (mostly in Georgia, according to the interwebs) eat it...WTF?

Also, I've had rabbit (yum), but not hare, but I still think that's good enough to bold #86.

And, I've just spent about 30 minutes trying to get the HTML tags to print out to show how to cross out items (like I did for #75 Roadkill), but Blogger won't let me. So, I'm going to be daring and slightly rude, and modify VGT's instructions - if you wouldn't ever try something, make it red, or type a big NOOOO!!!!! after it. :-)

blogger won't let me put the code in this comment for how to cross something out. if you want, email me. i wonder how many people have eaten fugu and horse? *shudder*.

Hi Sara - I just emailed you how to do crossouts. I'd try fugu, but only if I already had a terminal illness. And I think I'd try french fries fried in horse fat, but that's about as far as I'd go...
