The Omnivore's Hundred

Instructions amended slightly from their original incarnation.

1) Copy this list (including the instructions)
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Strike-through any items that you would never consider eating, or have tried and will never try again (remember to bold it though, because you've still tried it once).

39. Gumbo
40. Oxtail (They're damned expensive, for some unknown reason)

68. Haggis
69. Fried plantain
70. Chitterlings, or andouillette
71. Gazpacho
72. Caviar and blini (Caviar is only prepared fish eggs, unless they specify "beluga" or what-have-you, and I ate a lot of fish eggs growing up.)
73. Louche absinthe (I don't know why we never got around to getting any absinthe while I was in the UK; we kept meaning to...)
74. Gjetost, or brunost (I'm getting some at Wegmans' next time, though, as it sounds really good)
