The Omnivore's Hundred
Lifted off from Lionel's food blog from where he tried out this list from another food blog.
By Andrew, an English food writer,and also the co-author of the blog called Very Good Taste has come up with a list of food that he feels all omnivores should at least try once in their life. He calls this list The Omnivore's Hundred.
I'm going through the list for the fun of it..
