The VGT Omnivore’s Hundred

Thanks to Donna  by way of Margie for bringing this fun foodie game to my attention!

The Omnivore’s Hundred is a list created by British foodie Andrew Wheeler of Very Good Taste. It’s a list that Andrew believes is ”100 things that I think every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life. The list includes fine food, strange food, everyday food and even some pretty bad food – but a good omnivore should really try it all.”
