The Zames food challenge!
Okay, so the Facebook idea that not many people have apparently eaten anything interesting has apparently not proven true.
As such, I put together 100 of the more interesting foods/food items/beverages I've had on the earth. I'm guessing that of the people on LJ, the median score will be at least 60.
Give it a shot if you've got time! I can't vouch that everything I've had is good, but the wide majority of things on here is good.
