Somethin' Fun - The Omnivore's 100!

Doodles over at Tombstone Tumbleweed posted this list and I thought it was fun to see the things she had tasted. You know me, just HAD to play along! If you want to join in, leave a comment and I'll add your name/link at the bottom of the post!

Here's how it works:
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 at http://www.verygoodtaste.co.uk/uncategorised/the-omnivores-hundred/ linking to your results.
