The VGT Omnivore’s Hundred meme (by order of
drhoz ) goes something like this:
1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
As it happens, it’ll be shorter if I show you what I
haven’t eaten yet.

Note that of all the stuff I have tried, there’s a few I would never touch again – either for gout reasons (crab) or I didn’t like them the first time (eel, oysters, sea urchin, calimari, a dirty gin martini, etc). And most of it I’ve tried only once, because that’s how many times the opportunity presented itself.
And yes, I did have to Google a lot of these. When you’ve only eaten something once, you don’t always remember the name. Sometimes you don’t even know what it’s called (like umeboshi).
