Weekend Meme: Omnivore's 100 Meme

I stole this one from Meme Central - My 2 Cents again. In the rate that the interesting meme are posted over there, I could do them once a week for years, so I thought I'd double it up this week. At the dawn of my diet, starting Monday, I thought I'd just review the food that I've eaten. I mean can I not be open to different food and get to my size? Right!

This meme is originated from Andrew at Very Good Taste, you can find links to the food items at his site and here are 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 at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.
