The rules of the meme:
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).

1. Venison (missing my mom's cuisine...)

25. Brawn, or head cheese (good stuff, if the quality is right!)
