Ok, I'm biting on this one (no pun intended). Reading others' is fun, and, well, I've had a lot of these things...

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 www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.
The VGT Omnivore's Hundred:

1. Venison Wish my butcher carried it.
2. Nettle tea
3. Huevos rancheros
4. Steak tartare
5. Crocodile
6. Black pudding Surprisingly tasty and not-unpleasant, although I wouldn't go out of my way to have it. I appreciate its efficiency, though.
7. Cheese fondue Delicious, if dangerous to my pinky.
8. Carp
9. Borscht
10. Baba ghanoush
11. Calamari
12. Pho
13. PB&J sandwich
14. Aloo gobi
15. Hot dog from a street cart Gotta love the dirty-water dog.
16. Epoisses
17. Black truffle I think only oil of, within a dish. Which is really rich, and really good when used right.
18. Fruit wine made from something other than grapes
19. Steamed pork buns Yup, tasty. Red bean buns for dessert. Made a great lunch.
20. Pistachio ice cream
21. Heirloom tomatoes
22. Fresh wild berries We used to have blackberries wild on the edge of our back yard. They were delicious.
23. Foie gras
24. Rice and beans
25. Brawn, or head cheese I don't know about this one...
26. Raw Scotch Bonnet pepper Not an entire one, but I've definitely eaten it raw, and liked it
27. Dulce de leche
28. Oysters I don't think I've had them...I don't eat much shellfish.
29. Baklava
30. Bagna cauda Sadly, I haven't tried this yet, although watching Garibaldi talk about it always makes it sound delicious. Once of these days...
31. Wasabi peas
32. Clam chowder in a sourdough bowl Not in the bowl, though I've had other things in them. I only discovered I like clam chowder this summer.
33. Salted lassi It started with an accident thinking I was getting the sweet kind, then a random craving; now they're pretty much the only kind I drink.
34. Sauerkraut
35. Root beer float I'm not a big fan of carbonated beverages, or mixing them with creamy things, but every once in a while, there's just something great about these.
36. Cognac with a fat cigar Don't smoke. Don't know if I'd consider it.
37. Clotted cream tea
38. Vodka jelly/Jell-O Overrated, really.
39. Gumbo
40. Oxtail
41. Curried goat
42. Whole insects I don't think I've eaten this as food?
43. Phaal It's not just a macho thing; it actually tastes pretty good. I miss pre-poker night curry in NYC.
44. Goat's milk
45. Malt whisky from a bottle worth £60/$120 or more Not yet...
46. Fugu
47. Chicken tikka masala Great gateway dish.
48. Eel
49. Krispy Kreme original glazed doughnut
50. Sea urchin
51. Prickly pear
52. Umeboshi Mmmm....
53. Abalone
54. Paneer
55. McDonald's Big Mac Meal I really don't like russian dressing on my burgers, even the cheap ones.
56. Spaetzle I actually get cravings for spaetzle fairly regularly.
57. Dirty gin martini Feh, I prefer mine without the extra olive brine, and with plenty of dry vermouth. Also, I consider the use of the word gin here redundant.
58. Beer above 8% ABV Eh.
59. Poutine Tasty.
60. Carob chips Not a substitute for chocolate chips, but reasonably tasty in their own right.
61. S'mores Mmmm...childhood memories...
62. Sweetbreads
63. Kaolin
64. Currywurst ..but I want to try it now.
65. Durian Not yet, though I've had other weird tropical fruits.
66. Frogs' legs Overrated.
67. Beignets, churros, elephant ears or funnel cake
68. Haggis Not all that interesting or exciting, really.
69. Fried plantain I love the taste of cooked plantain.
70. Chitterlings, or andouillette
71. Gazpacho
72. Caviar and blini Never together.
73. Louche absinthe
74. Gjetost, or brunost
75. Roadkill I'd consider it if I'd seen it hit...otherwise you don't know if it got hit because it was ill, and don't know how long it was rotting in the sun.
76. Baijiu
77. Hostess Fruit Pie
78. Snail
79. Lapsang souchong
80. Bellini
81. Tom yum I find tom ka more interesting, though.
82. Eggs Benedict Makes for a deliciously decadent breakfast.
83. Pocky
84. Tasting menu at a three-Michelin-star restaurant. I'd love to.
85. Kobe beef I don't think so?
86. Hare It might actually have been rabbit...
87. Goulash
88. Flowers
89. Horse
90. Criollo chocolate I honestly have no idea.
91. Spam
92. Soft shell crab I've tasted some of someone else's.
93. Rose harissa That sounds good...will have to try it.
94. Catfish
95. Mole poblano Another of my favorite dishes.
96. Bagel and lox Now I want a real bagel with some lox (or some nova, anyway).
97. Lobster Thermidor I bet that's good, but you had me at lobster. Stem it in a pot for a few minutes and stick it on a plate with a bowl of melted butter, I'm happy.
98. Polenta
99. Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee
100. Snake

Ah, #7... thought of you when I first read this list elsewhere.

Haven't you had #92 - or did you not try any of mine when I ordered it this summer?

Other things that I've had that you haven't - Heirloom tomatoes (you've probably had these but just don't know it), oysters, clam chowder in a sourdough bowl (I'm pretty sure I had this in San Francisco), gumbo (I'm pretty sure), and polenta.

Oh, I was teasing. He and I actually had that conversation once, way back when I was telling him I would try horse, because I am actually curious about what it tastes like.

I will admit, it's one of those things that surprised me a little, though. Mostly because I keep forgetting there are places where you actually *can* eat it.

you never had the spider roll at hanada? one of the tastiest things they've got...
