The blog Very Good Taste has come up with a list of 100 items that every omnivore should try in his or her life. Basically, you copy the list from Very Good Taste's The Omnivore's 100 and post it to your blog, bolding the items you've tried and striking through any you would never try.

Here is mine. I've tried 44 out of 100. I don't think (never say never) I would object to trying most everything on this list once - under the right circumstances - even though I'd had no idea what some of these things were until I hit the link.

Mole pablano sounds like a song title. I'll have to google that one. :)
I have taste 47 of these. Interesting.
Ciao
Wonderful list. Thanks for tempting as well as encouraging me to try new discoveries.
What a great list and a fun thing to do! There are some on there I have never heard of and many that I want to try but haven't had a chance to yet..
Have a great day!

Ok, this is a great idea! I thought I was no piker when it came to food experiences, but apparently I am quite provincial by comparison to this list - not sure that I could handle some of these. Thanks for your comment! ;>)
Hmmm. Only have tasted 18 of these, one of them being Krispy Kreme doughnut and I could taste those over and over. Maybe in place of roadkill, oxtail and horse? You seriously need to try Dulce de Leche! You can make your own if you like, just cook a can of sweetened condensed milk on very low heat for about 3 or 4 hours. Heavenly over vanilla ice cream!
My list is similar to yours, I know there are a few things I would never try, but who wouldn't want to try a Krispy Creme donut on one end, or caviar to the other extreme...I love watching Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmerman, opening us up to so many foods all over the world that other people dare to eat!
So very cool. Awesome post! I always claim there is nothing I wouldn't try in terms of food, this list would certainly for that to the test.
