The VGT Omnivore’s Hundred

This list has been going around cyberspace for quite some time. Created by the author of Very Good Taste (VGT), he believes that as an omnivore, the following are some of the things that we should not miss out.

However, due to the different cultures and/or beliefs, there may be some foods that we cannot eat, or have never heard before. But no worries, like what VGT had done, I'll be linking them through
Wikipedia for further explanations.

Here's what you can do :

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 the original
The VGT Omnivore's Hundred linking to your results.
