VGT Omnivore's 100

There's an English guy with a blog called Very Good Taste http://www.verygoodtaste.co.uk/uncategorised/the-omnivores-hundred/ and he posted a list of 100 things he thinks every good omnivore should try in their life. He has some rules about post in your journal, cross out the blah blah blah, I just bolded what I'd eaten and made notes where I felt moved to. I found this on Chocolate and Zucchini's site which I love http://chocolateandzucchini.com/ and I was very impressed to find that she had not eaten 37 of them and I have only not eaten 36!! I think it would be more fun if you made the 100 list of your own. Maybe I will do that and we can go off that because who cares what this English guy thinks, I don't think a cigar belongs on this list at all.
