How the Omnivore's 100 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. (I'm gonna italicize em since it's easier on blogger ;)

4) Optional: Post a comment at Very Good Taste, linking to your results.
