In addition to crafting and design blogs, I enjoy reading food blogs. I love trying new and different things, so I was intrigued by this Omnivore's Hundred list I found on Chocolate & Zucchini, which she found at Very Good Taste. There were several foods I had never heard of, including cheeses and a chocolate that I found particularly intriguing. I was surprised at how many that I have tried & I think I'll be trying a few more in the near future (my husband would love the currywurst).
The list is proposed as a game where you:
- He offered this list as the starting point for a game, along the following rules:
- Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
- Bold all the items you’ve eaten (I used an asterisk)
- Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
- Optional extra: post a comment on Very Good Taste, linking to your results.

oh my this list is scary.-anything on this list that I have tried has been home made (so all animal things are out the door) and I have never had a Krispy Cream Doughnut even tho they are right down the street from my bank (and closing I hear along with the Starbucks next door-another place I haven't tried). I may be out of the mainstream but my adventures lie with unusualy fruits and vegetables and my home made faux meats-tofu and gluten are my friends.
