You want me to eat what?
This bleme comes via filkertom. Like him, I was a picky eater when I was younger. How picky? I wouldn't even eat pizza in elementary school! I did eventually start trying new foods, but I didn't really start branching out until college.

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.

Sorry, I still don't like coffee, tea, or alcohol. Although I'm probably lying by striking through them, as I might try them on a bet. And yes, I had to do a whole lot of Wikipedia searches to find out what some of this stuff is. (And a lot of it sounded good.)
