Back in Dublin
And since this makes me miss home even more, I'm doing the food meme (ganked from futomimii):
The Omnivore's Hundred is a list of foods the gastronome Andrew Wheeler thinks everyone should try at least once in their lives.
The rules:
1) Bold those you have tried
2) Strikethrough those you wouldn't eat on a bet
3) Italicize any item you'll never eat again
4) Asterisk* any items you'd be interested in trying but have not yet.
