According to the folks at very good taste, if you consider yourself a good omnivore, then you should make it your business to eat every item on this list.

Let's see how I've lived up to the title so far.

Here’s what I want you to do:

1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3)Distinguish any items that you would never consider eating.

I can't say that I wouldn't eat any of these things. Since I've moved to California, my taste buds have developed quite drastically. I actually crave good food now. It's possible that I will crave head cheese one day...who knows....I don't feel strongly enough about it to say I'll never do it.

it's sort of an odd 100 items, don't you think?

i wonder what criteria went into making this list... should we eat these foods because they taste yummy? they awaken all of the omnivore's taste buds? or is it their nutritional value? last I heard big macs and road kill aren't the most nutritionally informed choices...

do you think this is an accurate list? what's your criteria for good food choices? how would your list look?
