The VGT Omnivore’s Hundred:

I saw this on Cooking with Jen (http://cookinginla.blogspot.com/) and I wanted to try it. It reminds me of the good old e-mail time wasters I do when I need a break from whatever I was doing. You know the type of thing I am writing of, "My favorite color is, My favorite vacation was", etc....This is like the same thing, except it involves food. Feel free to try this.

Here’s what I want you to do:
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 at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.

I couldn't figure out how to underline, so I changed the font color to brown. Also, when I copied the post to my blog, I had to play with the font colors and couldn't get the font to my blog's standard color. Also, I had to look up what a lot of these foods were.
