sarahmichelefThe Omnivore's Hundred is a list of foods the gastronomic Andrew Wheeler thinks everyone should try at least once in their lives.
The rules of the meme:
1) bold those you have tried
2) strikethrough those you wouldn't eat on a bet.
3) Italicize any item you'll never eat again.
4) Asterisk any items you'd be interested in trying but have not yet.
