57 out of 100 beat it!

Taken from Dispensing Happiness
...a list of things every omnivore should eat.
It's taken from Very good taste... and what he wants 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. (There's nothing I wouldn't try once)
4) Optional extra: Post a comment at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.

I had to look alot of these things up through google because they aren't named that here in Sweden. But I'm surprised to say I have 57 out of 100. WOW! And alot are things I can't even get a hold of here!
