Meme

The Omnivore’s Hundred is a list of foods the gastronome Andrew Wheeler thinks everyone should try at least once in their lives.

The rules of the meme:
1) bold those you have tried
2) strikethrough those you wouldn’t eat on a bet.
2a) Italicize any item you’ll never eat again.
2b) Asterisk* any items you’d be interested in trying but have not yet.
