In the spirit of the Omnivore’s Hundred, Andrew over at VGT has come up with the Very Good Taste Christmas Fifty; fifty foods and drinks from around the world. As with the Hundred, there are some items in here that will seem commonplace, and a lot of items you may never have heard of (with Wikipedia links to help you out).
Here’s what to do:
1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve tasted.
3) Place an asterisk after all the items you’ve cooked/prepared.
4) Optional: Cross out anything you never want to try, or add an exclamation mark after anything your really want to try.
You’re also welcome to post a link to your version of the list here at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk.
