Omnivores Delight

Found this meme on my friend Wrekehavok’s page. I had a lot fun going through the list and deciding what I would and would not eat. Some of it was easy, as I only eat kosher food and a bunch of things here don’t qualify. Some are hard to get kosher, but would be possible. Although I eat only kosher food now, I did eat non kosher food in my youth, so I can bold some things on the list that are not kosher.

There were also those things that I had never heard of, but looking them up was fun too!

the rules:

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.
4) Optional extra: Post a comment here at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.
