Omnivore meme

[quislet]

I actually got tagged for this one from my best foodie friend in the whole world, who isn't on LJ, but I see it's circling through my flist, too.  Here goes:

The rules of the meme:
1) Bold those you have tried
2) Strikethrough those you wouldn't eat on a bet.
2a) Italicize any item you'll never eat again.
2b) *Asterisk any items you'd be interested in trying but have not yet.
