Omnivore's top 100

Omnivore's HundredHey gang, all our constant talk of food has led me to this interesting list of a foodie 100.

I'm going to put Ken and myself on here as well so we can compare and contrast. This comes from a list a British food writer compiled of things "every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life".

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.
