To celebrate my 100 DAYS on the Blood Sugar Solution program, I’ve made my own list of 100 GOOD FOODS. And, for fun, I’ve taken the Omnivore 100 Challenge, a list of 100 things that “every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life.” Everything that I have eaten is marked boldface and anything I would NOT eat is crossed out. Some less familiar items have a link to their Wikipedia definitions.
How many of the 100 have you had? So far, I’ve only tried 40. Some items I will not ever consume, and this includes all the alcohol. What foods would make your list of things to try at least once in your life?

This list reminds me of the Bizarre Foods guy, Andrew Zimmern. He’ll eat anything! Some items, such as fugu and durian, might be on a “I dare you to eat this” list. That would be a funny list!
Great idea for celebrating your 100th day!
I’m happy that you enjoyed my list! This one…I thought would get some laughs for sure!
