FOOD-Part 2

I found this off a this food blog-Chocolate and Zucchini.

So I decided to add it to my blog. If you want to add it to yours go head! :) I went through the list and marked what I have tried and what I have not tried. The bottom line is most of those things that are not tried, I really do not have a desire for. I do like meat, but I am not into eating glands, insects and any reptiles.That job is reserved for this guy.

Here’s what I want you to do:

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.
