From the Very Good Taste blog... Italics are mine. The only things I struck out are things I've already eaten :-) Well, and the cigar.
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.
