SQT: Nom nom nom edition
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008The Omnivore’s Hundred is a list of foods the gastronome Andrew Wheeler thinks everyone should try at least once in their lives. I’ve seen this meme around but not gotten around to doing it. Working nights provides a good opportunity
The rules of the meme:
Bold those you have tried.
Strikethrough those you wouldn’t eat on a bet.
Italicize any item you’ll never eat again.
Asterisk any items you’d be interested in trying but have not yet.
Under line anything you don’t know what it is.
