Been lazy about posting for a bit, but this one's an easy one!
Jill and Andrew of Very Good Taste want to get a little interactivity in the world of food-bloggery so came up with the Omnivore's Hundred which is:
"a list of 100 things that I[Andrew] think every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life. The list includes fine food, strange food, everyday food and even some pretty bad food - but a good omnivore should really try it all. Don’t worry if you haven’t, mind you; neither have I, though I’ll be sure to work on it. Don’t worry if you don’t recognise everything in the hundred, either; Wikipedia has the answers."
Here’s what he wants you to do:
- Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
- Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
- Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
- Optional extra: Post a comment here at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.

Mine was, uh, much less impressive.
Oh, and I tried one of those Nipper dogs - you were right! They were fantastic!
ummmnnn... we know where 73 came from...
I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about.
I've had 89 of 'em. I have not experienced the following:
5) Crocodile – although I’ve eaten and even cooked alligator.
16) Epoisses
42) Whole Insects – although I have if chocolate covered varieties count.
46) Fugu
52) Umeboshi
63) Kaolin
75) Roadkill – at least not knowingly
76) Baijiu – Chinese shoxing rice wine yes, but I’ve never tried this.
84) Tasting menu
89) Horse
93) Rose Harissa – I’ve eaten a number of harissas (and made my own), but not a rose variety.
If you weren't so selfish with your durian, I'd be one closer!
