The VGT Omnivore's 100.

I was over visiting the Leftover Queen, and just loved one of her recent posts. "VGT" stands for "Very Good Taste," who is the original author of this list. There has been a follow up post written as well.

Here's how you play:

Now, the meat things that I left on this menu are difficult for me. I left them blank, as given the right circumstances I would try them. However, I have some serious reservations about the meat industry and it would become an ethical thing for me. I don't have a problem with people eating meat, I have a problem with how some meat facilities treat their animals.

Also, there are several "spicy" things on this list. While I would try them - I am NOT a fan of fire flavor. Sooo...I'd probably make my husband get it and try his.

That aside, it seems I have a few things on my list that I would like to try. I think I will make that an effort in the coming years. I was surprised to find that I had tried some things, but without the official name.

Anyhow, how do YOU stack up on this list?
