Totally just stole this meme from Fond of Snape, who stole it from Faith who stole it from Andrew, who created this list of 100 things that I think every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life. He says:
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.
4) Optional extra: Post a comment here linking to your results.

re: Fugu – it’s not if it’s cooked wrong, it’s if it’s CUT wrong. If you nick the liver, the toxins can spill out into/onto the flesh and then you die 😉 But the flesh is quite good, little tingly on your tongue!
