The Omnivore's Hundred
I recently read the Omnivore's Hundred on a local food blog onefoodguy.blogspot.com , but it originated on the British blog Very Good Taste. Having eaten a vegan diet for 16+ years, and being mostly veg for 6 years before that, I was curious how I'd score.
Here are the instructions:
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 turned them red instead. And there are quite a few bolded items I would never consider eating now!)
4) Optional extra: Post a comment here at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.

The Omnivore’s Hundred has been making its way around the blogs and has even spawned a vegetarian version. Both hundred item lists are featured here and it looks like I still have a long way to go. In the spirit of open mindedness
