The Omnivore’s Hundred - Johnny Rollerfeet

The Omnivore’s Hundred is a list of foods the gastronomic Andrew Wheeler thinks everyone should try at least once in their lives. (Be sure to read the FAQ.)

The rules of the meme:
Bold those you have tried.
Strikethrough those you wouldn’t eat on a bet.
Italicize any item you’ll never eat again.
Asterisk any items you’d be interested in trying but have not yet. *

1 I’m a Southern country boy. Some foodstuffs come with the territory and I really shouldn’t get credit for them.

2 …and now I’m a Texan. No extra credit for these, either.

    Poutine = cheese gravy fries, take the cheese out and eat it. You wouldn’t eat cheese on a bet but you would eat horse. I think a few lactaids is worth you completing the 100.

    this is a good idea. i’m gonna start one too
