The Omnivore's 100

The blog Very Good Taste has come up with a list of 100 items that every omnivore should try in his or her life. Then it was put on Serious Eats and now I'm copying it. Basically, you copy the list from Very Good Taste's The Omnivore's 100 and post it to your blog, bolding the items you've tried and striking through any you would never try. (I'm gonna italicize the ones I will never try.) Oh, just go visit VGT for the nitty gritty. I'm not tagging anyone, but just tying to share.

Disclaimer: I am now a vegetarian, because it really helps my condition...but these is in my life.
