The Omnivore's Hundred (like the Dilemma, only slightly less guilt-inducing)

So, OTM posted the Omnivore's Hundred, and since I am trying very hard this week not to become completely enveloped in a crispy coating of generalized sucktasticness, I decided to go through it myself and see what I'd eaten. On the one hand....disturbing how many weirdo crap foods I've eaten over the course of thirty years. On the other hand, I've always been perversely proud of all the weird things I've eaten, despite being one of the pickiest eaters I know. I was actually kinda disappointed not to find some of the weirder stuff on this list. I mean, venison heart, pork brains, and mountain oysters...apparently I find offal-based eating weird (hmmmm). Interestingly, of those three, I like the testicles best (speaking of hmmmmm).

So, if you care to rock this food-based navel-gazing yourself, just copy the list; bold is for what you've eaten, strikethrough for what you wouldn't touch.

27. Dulce de leche
