So while going through the various posts that I read in my RSS reader. I read this one from my friend MCF on stuff that he’s eaten and won’t eat. It’s a post originally started as a meme on Very Good Taste.
The rules are fairly simple enough to follow.
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.
4) Optional extra: Post a comment here at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results. Or you can leave me a comment so I can check out your list as well.
I expect that Wikipedia and Google are going to get a lot of use for those of you who aren’t foodies or don’t really cook. Heck, there were a few even I had to check up on

100. Snake
So here’s a few stats for you! I’ve tried 49 out of the 100 things listed. A few that are bold and have strikes through them. Are because I’ve tried them and I have no desire to have them ever again. There are 4 things that I haven’t tried and I’m not going to. They are head cheese, whole insects, haggis and sweetbreads (it’s not what you think, so glad I watch the Food Network)
I still have 47 things that I have yet to try and I hope to experience one day. Although I think the odds of trying a black truffle, Foie gras, Caviar/blini, fugu, kobe beef and eating at a three-Michelin-star restaurant aren’t very likely. Only because I can’t afford the cost of them
Later…

Holy… you changed your look again! Look good though.
I’ve done your 20-hour meme - it won’t show up til morning though - just to keep you guessing. I know you’re on the edge of your seat now.
