Hundreds

(Some Friday food blogging).

I would post this meme, listing 100 items every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life, but — and here I surely embarrass myself — the only items I could honestly report not having tried (if some only by accident, later to be regretted) were fugu, a tasting menu at a three-Michelin-star restaurant and Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. There were, of course, a few items I would add to the list (e.g. larb, birria de chivo, mole poblano, scaciatta, pizzocheri, dandan mein, Jamaican beef patties, schäufele, nasi liwet... and if a time machine were involved, I'd add a certain decadent dessert from Buddenbrooks, the Saigon Absynthe Cocktail from The Gentleman's Companion and the Buñueloni), but all-in-all, it's an admirable start. For the more selective eaters among us, there is an all-vegetarian version of this meme.
