Snagged from
feonixrift. Fun!
Bold those you have tried.
Strikethrough those you wouldn't eat on a bet.
Italicize any item you'll never eat again.
Asterisk any items you'd be interested in trying but have not yet.
Underline anything you eat regularly (more than once a month-ish).
Questionisk any items you've never heard of. (My addition.)
