The "Omnivore" 100 List - What would you eat?

I found this on "What Smells So Good"'s blog through foodbuzz and felt inspired to try it out! The list below is the "Omnivore 100 List" listing 100 different food items or ingredients (there are also lists for Vegetarians and Vegans -- I plan to work through those later!) .

The rules for the list are:
bold = have eaten
unhighlight = haven't eaten
struck out = won't ever eat (ok, well, never say never, so instead, probably won't eat)

Would love to hear what you think...

Here we go... (for ones that I wasn't sure what they were, I linked them where I could for more information...)
