Meme: Omnivore's Hundred

Aug 16, 2008 10:56

The Omnivore's Hundred is a list of foods the gastronomic Andrew Wheeler thinks everyone should try at least once in their lives



The rules of the meme:
1) Bold all the items you've eaten
2) Strikethrough those items that you would never consider eating
2a) Italicize any item you'll never eat again
2b) * Asterisk * any items you'd be interested in trying but have not yet
