Since it's my 100th post (ALREADY?!), I decided to complete this survey that has been floating around the food blogosphere lately. Andrew at Very Good Taste created a list of things that good omnivores should try at least once in their life. All the things in bold are things I have tried. Since I am not good with the Blogger functions, all the things I don't want to try are in italics (instead of being crossed out). If you're interested in doing this yourself, copy the survey and paste it to your site! Also, check back to Very Good Taste to see what other people have to say!

Who could eat horse? And bugs? I'm all set! I have had a hot dog from a street cart as well, after quite a few beers in key west :) I think it was the best hot dog ever....I think...
I've enjoyed reading this list in a variety of places. It's always interesting to see what people have tasted or not. I do have to say that the list changes each time I see it. I'll take a clotted cream tea (seriously delicious!) over roadkill any day.
Congrats on your 100th!!
