This one is food related, which is rather fitting since I'm currently obsessed with food and hungry most of the time. I'm still not having any cravings except for ice cream. I have to admit though that the ice cream craving is a life-long craving, NOT a pregnancy one... although I'm certainly using being pregnant as an excuse to break my longstanding "ice cream only on Sunday and Thursday nights" rule! Convenient.
Anyway, this MeMe is called the Omnivore's 100 and it's all about things I've eaten, not eaten, or would never try. Paul and I like to watch those travel shows where people eat strange things and then debate whether we'd try them or not so I thought this looked like a fun MeMe to take part in. Plus I haven't posted anything in a while and thought that I should!
How the Omnivore's 100 works:
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.
4) Optional: Post a comment at Very Good Taste, linking to your results.
