The Omnivore’s Hundred

I saw this today and thought it was interesting. I am still vegetarian, but am back on seafood now. I got over that oog factor. But, I only eat it once a week, at most. And most weeks, I still go without it. Obviously, I have only been veg for a few months, so there's lots of non-veg items I have eaten...let's see how I do! (Here's the original post http://www.verygoodtaste.co.uk/uncategorised/the-omnivores-hundred/)

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 don't have that feature...mine are red)
4) Optional extra: Post a comment here at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.
