So you call yourself a foodie? Well, let’s see how well you are on your way to trying the top 100 must taste foods of the Omnivore’s Hundred!
The Omnivore’s Hundred list was proposed years ago from a defunct site but you can still find it all over the internet. It is really fun to go through it though, so here are my answers. I have set to GREEN all the items I’ve NOT eaten.
P.S. I am away on holiday till Aug 20 so I prepared a series of fun, entertaining and advice post for you to enjoy during my absence!
I first posted this in 2008 and I was surprised how many new items I was able to scratch off the list. Only 18 to go for me!

How many have you eaten on this list?
How many would you NOT be able to eat, ever (like number 75 perhaps)?
Well, I’ve had 67 and I can guarantee that I’ll never reach 100 because there is no way I’ll eat roadkill. 🙂
LOL I think that is the stumper for most people the roadkill!
I only have 8 more left to try from this list, so I’m almost there! I know lists like this are so arbitrary and there are a thousand more things we could think of to add to them, but still fun!
Wow only 8 left, I am curious to know which ones! yes everyone would have their list but they are fun like quizzes 🙂
Raw Scotch Bonnet pepper
Bagna cauda
Phaal
Fugu
Abalone
Carob chips
Kaolin
Baijiu
I’m ticking off “Cognac with a fat cigar” as done since I’ve had both, just not at the same time!
We share 5! Bagna cauda Phaal Fugu Abalone Kaolin
I have had exactly 50 of those. And anything alcohol or aquatic I can’t eat. And some, that 75, I don’t think it’s want to. I’m really curious how you came up with the list. Vive la poutine!
The Omnivore’s Hundred list was proposed years ago from a defunct site but you can still find it all over the internet. Yep 75 would be a challenge. But I was surprised to find out porcupines are protected from hunting laws in some places as they are considered a survival food because it is safe to eat raw.
Fun list! I didn’t keep count as I was reading it, but I’d guess I’ve had maybe 80 or so of the things on it. Never heard of some of them (Pocky?). And some I havn’t eaten deliberately, although I have accidentally (who hasn’t been outside when an insect landed up in your mouth?). Good read — thanks.
Yeah lots I have never heard of but 80 is good. Pocky are sweet sticks with various coatings from Japan. Ha ha or the bugs..but what about roadkill?
You certainly are an adventurous eater! So many of them I haven’t even heard of, let alone tasted them. Now I really crave a clam chowder in a sourdough bowl :-))
Yes I guess I do, I have had 82! Some stuff I am not sure of what they are either lol. Oh I had the clam chowder in a sourdough bowl at the source! In San Francisco!
