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.
The VGT Omnivore's Hundred:
1. Venison
2. Nettle tea
3. Huevos rancheros
4. Steak tartare

6. Black pudding
7. Cheese fondue
8. Carp
9. Borscht
10. Baba ghanoush
11. Calamari
12. Pho – I…. maybe? I don't remember. I had a number of interesting noodle soups when I was in California for the San Diego wildfires.
13. PB&J sandwich
14. Aloo gobi - It's based on cauliflower. No.
15. Hot dog from a street cart
16. Epoisses – No, but ooh, it sounds interesting and would love to give it a try.
17. Black truffle
18. Fruit wine made from something other than grapes – I don't drink, so honestly, I don't see this happening.
19. Steamed pork buns
20. Pistachio ice cream
21. Heirloom tomatoes
22. Fresh wild berries - First the mulberries growing on a tree near the swimming pool my grandparents used to bring me to as a kid, then a few other places, and on one memorable occasion from a bush growing at a rest stop on the Dalton Highway at the Arctic Circle crossing in Alaska.
23. Foie gras - SO MANY KINDS OF NO
24. Rice and beans
25. Brawn, or head cheese
26. Raw Scotch Bonnet pepper
27. Dulce de leche – I've only ever had dulce de leche flavoured items, not the stuff itself.
28. Oysters
29. Baklava
30. Bagna cauda
31. Wasabi peas
32. Clam chowder in a sourdough bowl
33. Salted lassi - I was disappointed, but I did it.
34. Sauerkraut

39. Gumbo
40. Oxtail
41. Curried goat
42. Whole insects covered in chocolate

49. Krispy Kreme original glazed doughnut
50. Sea urchin
51. Prickly pear
52. Umeboshi
53. Abalone
54. Paneer
55. McDonald's Big Mac Meal – I don't like dealing with all the stuff on Big Macs, but I’m not ruling this one out.
56. Spaetzle This and sauerbraten are my fondest memories of the Germany section of EPCOT.
57. Dirty gin martini
58. Beer above 8% ABV
59. Poutine - I am convinced the French Canadians made this dish to kill all the Anglophones off by plugging their arteries but hot damn if I wouldn't go back for it every time.
60. Carob chips.
61. S'mores
62. Sweetbreads
63. Kaolin – Only on my face or in the form of Kaopectate. I've never had the urge to eat it.
64. Currywurst
65. Durian – Durian flavored cookies, yes, but the actual item, no.
66. Frogs' Legs - I'm sorry, I can't be open-minded enough to get past The Muppet Movie.
67. Beignets, churros, elephant ears or funnel cake
68. Haggis
69. Fried plantain - In the form of homemade tostones with my own mojo.
70. Chitterlings, or andouillette
71. Gazpacho
72. Caviar and blini – Caviar, yes, haven't tried the blini yet. Heck, I got lucky enough to be allowed to make a beurre blanc sauce with caviar in one of my cooking lessons once, as a reward for having the patience to pull every single pin out of a side of salmon before smoking it.
73. Louche absinthe
74. Gjetost, or brunost – Alas, no. I would be quite interested if I could get some, though. Cheese is my thing.
75. Roadkill – Not to my knowledge. But if I knew how to butcher a deer, and I had just killed it myself, I might consider it.
76. Baijiu – Dude, it's booze. It's not happening.
77. Hostess Fruit Pie
78. Snail
79. Lapsang souchong
80. Bellini – What did I just say about the baijiu?
81. Tom yum – I've tried some, but I don't think I had the whole bowl. It's not bad, though.
82. Eggs Benedict - Not impressed.
83. Pocky
84. Tasting menu at a three-Michelin-star restaurant – No. But I did participate in several major spreads prepared under the auspices of the chef instructors at the Culinary Institute of America. That should count for something.
85. Kobe beef
86. Hare
87. Goulash
88. Flowers – Yes, and I’m not happy about it.
89. Horse
90. Criollo chocolate - I got a small sample of El Rey chocolate once, and it was one of the varieties that uses the Criollo bean, so yeah. DAMN those people know their chocolate.
91. Spam
92. Soft shell crab – Not for my mother's lack of trying to convince me but I just don't like crab, so I didn't want to touch the soft shell kind.
93. Rose harissa
94. Catfish
95. Mole poblano
96. Bagel and lox
97. Lobster Thermidor – Seems a bit overly fussy to me. When I want fancy sauce with egg yolks in I'll make something that calls for hollandaise, and when I want lobster, I'll have lobster.
98. Polenta
99. Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee
100. Snake - ….. Not that I can recall.
