I came to post today because I came across something on The Eating Project blog that seemed like it would be fun to post, a couple lists of 100 foods you have to try (before you die, and Canadian yummies). Please feel free to do the same on your blog, you might see some new foods you would like to try, if you already haven't
For both:
1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold or cross-out all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Italicize any items that you would never consider eating.
4) Post a comment here linking to your results
