Jessica Knows always something you want to know. Like this 100 foods you should have tried (or maybe not after reading the list). I thought this meme was fun, and I’d like you to join me in my food adventure. I want to know which one of these you have tried!
“The list below includes 100 foods that Andrew at Very Good Taste thinks every omnivore should try at least once. Have questions about the 100? Check out Hundred Reasons, a helpful FAQ of sorts. I’ve added some links to the items I wasn’t sure about, just in case you’re wondering about things like pho and phaal, too.”
Here are the rules, please join in on the fun:
1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten. (NOTE: text color Red items are food’s I’ve tried but won’t try again.)
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
4) Optional extra: Post a comment at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.
