The Omnivore 100

A sequence of images of a fondue bourguignonne.Image via Wikipedia

I don’t usually do meme’s on this blog, but if it’s got a foodie side to it I am always open to exploring!  This is a particularly fun one.

Very Good Taste blog came up with a list of foods that they feel every omnivore should eat in their life time, and they labelled it the ?Omnivore?s 100?. They challenged bloggers to copy the list, mark everything we have tried and cross off anything we wouldn?t. Bold means you?ve eaten it, crossed out means you wouldn?t touch it in a million years.

So here is the list, along with my results.

Remember: bold means I?ve eaten it, strike out means I won?t eat it.

1. Venison
