The Omnivore's Hundred
I swiped this from Daily Pie. It looks like I need to broaden my culinary horizons, although that's hard to do, considering my grocery store's "ethnic foods" section consists of Chi Chi's salsa and La Choy soy sauce.
"Here’s a chance for a little interactivity for all the bloggers out there. Below is a list of 100 things that I think every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life. The list includes fine food, strange food, everyday food and even some pretty bad food - but a good omnivore should really try it all. Don’t worry if you haven’t, mind you; neither have I, though I’ll be sure to work on it. Don’t worry if you don’t recognise everything in the hundred, either; Wikipedia has the answers.
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 http://www.verygoodtaste.co.uk/ linking to your results."

I was surprised by my results.

Um...isn't kaolin some kind of clay? WTF?
