The Omnivore's 100
I'm finding the Omnivore's 100 meme all over the blogosphere, so I thought I'd join in. I had to look up a bunch of the items, as I had never heard of them, but it was fun. If you want to take part, read the instructions and have enjoy!
Thanks to Andrew for starting the meme!
How the Omnivore's 100 works:
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: Post a comment at Very Good Taste, linking to your results.

If you want to try the vodka jello, just come with me the next time my neighbor's throw a party. ;-)
You've probably had aloo gobi! (Look it up.)
How to strike through a word or phrase: surround it with these tags: [s] [/s]
(but replace the square brackets with pointy ones; <>
Blogger doesn't accept these tags in comments but they work fine in posts.)
Aloo gobi is a potato/cauliflower curry and I'm sure you've had it. Actually, goat - if prepared properly - is good. When I lived in Trinidad (Dad in charge of down range missile sites at the base), one of his worker's families ran an Indian restaurant specializing in Roti. I ate every variety and liked them all, including the goat. On the other hand, the goat was so melted into the curry sauce that it all just tasted like curry - good good curry. Salted Lassi is good as well - it's a milk/yogurt drink and it's delicious on hot days. I'm with you on the scotch bonnet. I can't imagine anybody who could eat a whole one raw. Ouch!
What a great meme!
What a fun meme! I had to participate once I found out I actually had eaten at least half of the things listed (and now have a new list of things to try).
Dagny, is it like Jello Jigglers, only alcoholic?
Cookiecrumb, nope, I looked that one up and I've had veggie curry but not dry like that. Thanks for the tip on crossing out!
Nancy, fun, isn't it - are you tempted to do it on your blog?
Mrs.I, you've got some guts, to try some of the stuff you've eaten!
That's about what they are. You make it in little plastic cups about the size of shot glasses. To consume, you shake it out of the cup into your mouth. Last December my neighbors made them in red and green for their holiday party.
Dagny, holy cow!
