Taken from my friend Kayaksoup, though it appears to have begun over at Very Good Taste

Here’s what 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.

Dang. I need to get eating. Can we add moose to the list? Then I won't feel so inadequate.

Where's dog? Or guinea pig? Maybe those are on the Carnivore's 100.
