Ganked from seaya
As seaya puts it, "Over on Very Good Taste there's a list of "The Omnivore's Hundred"-a list of things they've decided all omnivores should eat."
Now, I haven't been omnivorous in a very long time, but I'm taking this anyway, mostly because I'm shocked at how many things on this list I've actually eaten.
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.
I'm not crossing out things because that would basically cover the majority of the list. All fleshy bits were eaten when I was 8 or younger. All non-kosher fleshy bits were eaten without full knowledge of just what it meant to be a Jew, so you'll have to forgive my backwater upbringing. Or, rather, my father's handiness with a rifle.
1. Venison
2. Nettle tea
3. Huevos rancheros
4. Steak tartare
5. Crocodile
6. Black pudding

38. Vodka jelly - I, unfortunately, stopped eating gelatin before I turned 21, and my parents were never so crass as to feed me jello shots when I was young. That said, you'll never guess who gave me the cognac. :)
39. Gumbo - Mom made the okra kind a couple times. This may also not count because it was veg.

75. Roadkill - Oh, fuck you. It wasn't like that. 50% of the deer I ate as a child were from roadkills. It's really not that uncommon. Just ask the person who prepped the venison the next time you eat it. It's not like I fucking ate pancaked groundhog.

92. Soft shell crab
93. Rose harissa - Only the regular kind, so no.
94. Catfish
95. Mole poblano
96. Bagel and lox - Have you noticed the giant Jew stamp yet? I have a story I retell about this to everyone who'll listen: when I was in kindergarten (maybe 1st grade), we had to draw pictures in our journals every day after a prompt on the board. One day, our prompt was to draw our favorite breakfast food. I drew a bagel with lox and cream cheese. Everyone else had cereal or pancakes, and me, the strange Jew-girl (by the way, I was the school's minority; everyone else was Whitey McWestern European) had salty, strong fish with cheese on a bread that had not yet been popularized in Hatfield and McCoy territory. Even the teacher was grossed out when I explained what it was. Like I said, I was a strange child.

98. Polenta
99. Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee
