100 Foods that you must eat

So I'm a slacker...I was a 90's teenager, what do you expect? I stole this off of my favorite blog (lemme give her a shout out here...http://www.thedouglassdiaries.com/ If I could ever be a blogger like Brandi D, I could die a happy woman!)

100 Things You Must Eat Before You Die

The directions:
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.
Here are the hundred foods.
You can click on the links to find out more about what that food is (I didn't know many of them).
