The VGT Omnivore’s Hundred

Here's the idea:

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. (I am going to italicize those, because I can't find the strike out button...)

4) Optional extra: Post a comment here at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.
