The Omnivore Meme
Courtesy of
kosaginolegion , who no doubt expected me to rise to the bait:
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.
5) Underscore any items that you loved.
6) Use an X to mark any items that you can't eat for medical or religious reasons.

20. Pistachio ice cream X (Ditto.)
21. Heirloom tomatoes
22. Fresh wild berries

kosaginolegion from scary food since 1988.
