The VGT Omnivore's Hundred

I found this list on a website the other night, during The Night Of Much Puking (don't ask). It intrigued me and, since my own blog is still not public, I thought I'd post it here. It would be interesting to see what everyone else comes up with. Go to the site and follow the instructions and re-post for us so we can see your epicurean limits. You can click on the highlighted items to look them up in Wikipedia. I'm betting Kristine has tried most of these things (anyone who can bungee jump off of a bridge would have the balls to try crocodile.) I couldn't figure out how to strike through so I used an asterisk for step number 3. I am italicizing things I want to try. Have fun!

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.
