my turn - VGT's the omnivore's 100

http://www.verygoodtaste.com/ is a food blog based in the UK, and co-author andrew wheeler created the 'omnivore's 100,' or a list of things that every omnivore should have tried at least once in his/her life. i am not only an omnivore, i am a foodie from the bay area, so i think my results are both decent and underwhelming for my creed. my friends will all score evenly or higher i would think. anyway, for those of you who want to participate, here are the instructions:

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 http://www.verygoodtaste.co.uk/ linking to your results.
