Mmmmm. Food ...

Oooh, oooh, I wanna play! Borrowed from JunoMagic.

The rules:

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 extra: Post a comment at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.

Buzzy’s addition: Underline the ones you’ve cooked/made/grown/gathered yourself.

Juno’s addition: Add one to three foods that you’ve cooked/enjoyed that are not on the list so far!

Lyn's addition: Well, I can't think of any, so I just added my comments in italics.
