    Hmmm this is interesting.  I will have to try it to see if I'm really as an adventurous an eater as I think I am.  Of the bat I would say what the heck is aloo gobi and a big NO to roadkill.

    Ok, I got caught up in this one.  It's NOON, and I haven't started working.  Yep, I did the whole thing, looked up almost every one I didn't recognize.  Bad bad Flagday.  

    How do you list a link in these blogs?  It's obviously not the same as in the forums.

    Here's the original website.  Yeah, still no clean list but a lot of responses:
    http://www.verygoodtaste.co.uk/uncategorised/the-omnivores-hundred/
    and the Wikipedia supposedly has all the answers to "what is it?"  

    I'll give it a whirl Peachey.  Now you're talking my language...FOOD!
