The Omnivore's Hundred is an eclectic and entirely subjective 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.
He offered this list as the starting point for a game, along [with] 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 how you feel about the list
1. Venison
2. Nettle tea (i had a nettle in my yard. burning the rose of scotland would be a far better fate for it than making tea.)
3. Huevos rancheros

6. Black pudding
7. Cheese fondue
8. Carp
