Omnivore’s Hundred

I saw this on Sylvia's blog and it looked like fun...

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 couldn't figure out how to "cross out", so I did my "nevers" in red).
4) Optional extra: Post a comment here at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.
