When I first saw the Omnivores 100 list, I kind of threw up a little inside my mouth (oxtail, foie gras? ew). Thank goodness Hannah came up with a Vegan 100 so all of us vegan foodies could play along without having to cross out half the list due to ethical reasons. You should play along too!
1) Copy this list into your own blog, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten. (and mine are in blue)
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
4) Post a comment on Hannah's blog once you’ve finished and link to her post
5) Pass it on!

Okay, this is such a cool list.
Hmmm, now, what would be on my list ...
Cheers!
Don't worry, I think my "grade" was quite a bit lower than yours! At least this is one grade that we can easily improve upon (while trying even more delicious food).
Veggie haggis really isn't all that bad. Of course, it's not all that good either, but I would definitely choose it over natto any day.
Am I really to believe you've never had funnel cake? And you live in Texas? You definitely need to take care of that one ASAP.
I'm going to be in houston tomorrow. Any cool vegan/vegetarian restaurants I need to check out???
No such thing as a failing grade for this - just think about how many people out there haven't eaten ANYTHING on that list!!
Hehe, thanks for the shout-out about carob chips ;0)
Bah, the way you could fail is if you didn't try anything at all! :)
What kind of crazy husband do you have who doesn't like pasta?! Haha I guess I shouldn't talk... as a kid, I never liked soda or popcorn, and people thought I was nuts.
I'm totally with you on eating Haggis. Vegan or not it's just not something I'll ever want to try. It was crossed off my list as well.
I love reading these! You've got me thinking about the haggis thing... I need to do this list, seriously, I'm starting to feel left out!
Wow! We'll have to save this list and write "to do" on the top! I'm not about to go out and try the Haggis though. I'm weird about food texture so some of those faux meats give me chills. I'm sure Sergio would give it a try!
Cool and fun!
I love the green smoothies too!
Ohhhh!! Fun! I just did it!

Thanks!
Great list, even though I disagree with your rejection of #4 (vegan haggis). I hate faux viandes as much as you do, but the recipe you mentioned is not at all meat-like (see www.veg-world.com/recipes/haggis.htm). I've made it three times. It's wonderful.
Never mind. I'm with you on almost everything else.
Janey.
