I’ve seen this list going around Facebook and I thought it would be more fun to tackle it here on my blog since it’s such great material for scrapbook pages. I’m not super adventurous with my eating so I was pleased to figure out that I currently have tried 37 out of these 100 things. I’m somewhat disappointed that the list includes several drinks with alcohol in them since I don’t drink, and I thought the list was supposed to be about eating. There’s also no way I would eat things like roadkill, horse or snails unless my life depended on it. I did have to Google a few of these things to figure out what they were. lol!
Bold = I have eaten this food. Italics = I will never eat this food for either reasons of pure ick factor and/or allergies or personal beliefs. Regular = I haven’t tried it yet but I would like to. I also included some personal comments on the foods I have tried.
