The Omnivore's Hundred is a list of foods the gastronomic Andrew Wheeler thinks everyone should try at least once in their lives.

The rules of the meme:
Bold those you have tried.
Strikethrough those you wouldn't eat on a bet.
Italicize any item you'll never eat again.
*Asterisk any items you'd be interested in trying but have not yet.
Underline anything you eat regularly (more than once a month-ish).

Bagna cauda. Fuck, yes. I must make it when I get into the new place. And poutine. For the same meal!

No. 55 is WTF-worthy, all right.

This meme makes me really hungry. :(

[skywaterblue.livejournal.com]

Same.

SHO!

We have the salted lassi at the indian place around the corner from work.

Now when my friend was in India, he got to try what is essentially the 'pot' lassi...

[skywaterblue.livejournal.com]

I am REALLY craving Indian.

For some reason I really really despise polenta. The sight or smell of it makes me gag! There must be some trauma in my gastronomic past that I've repressed.

[skywaterblue.livejournal.com]

A lot of people don't like the texture. :S

[persephoneflame.livejournal.com]

we call those people insane.

Mmmm cornmeal.

[skywaterblue.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes we do. :P

[soaked-in-stars.livejournal.com]

I fucking hate pho. Nnnngh.

[skywaterblue.livejournal.com]

This list is awesome. I think I'm going to save it and keep it as a check-list for the future.

They had prickly pears at Albertson's a little while back. It tastes exactly like you would expect cactus to taste like.
