The Omnivore's 100

Who doesn't like a good list?  Well perhaps you shouldn't answer that.  But I do, and since this is my blog, I get to put it up.

Andrew at Very Good Taste kicked off a meme, listing 100 things every omnivore should try in their life.  I added a couple of my own at the bottom, feel free to do the same.

Good thing I am not dieting. I did have to cover the keyboard to protect it from drool.
Did I miss the mention of dark chocolate.
