Very Good Taste - Omnivore's Hundred

I certainly don't claim to be an omnivore, as some of you well know, but I thought this sounded like fun.

It's from the Very Good Taste webpage - you can find the original list here, with links to Wikipedia for the weird dishes (some of them anyway)

Here are the rules you’re supposed to include:

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.

I couldn't cross out due to my blog's settings, so I used italics instead.
