I just found this little list of The Omnivore's Hundred - a list of 100 things for the adventurous foodie to try. The idea is you copy and past this list (in your own blog or in the comments section here!) and bold the items you've tried. I'm pretty impressed. I guess living in Asia for so long introduces you to the wackier side of food (hands down, the strangest thing I have ever eaten was whole deep fired baby sparrow on a stick. Beak and all.) The things on this list I haven't tried I don't have a burning desire to taste. How about you?

Beak... and all... ?
yup. feathers too... think little birdie on a stick, dipped in batter.
NOT delicious, but as the white girl, I had to man-up and chomp.
It sounds like something out of "Frenzy," actually. Yikes.
The other strangest thing I've seen that I did NOT try what whole deep fried pig face. Now I like me some nice bacon now and again, but I just couldn't bring myself to eat a face.
Once again, Amy beat me to the post... I marked off mine with an "X"
I think it might have to be a sister bonding experience to try the rest... except the roadkill one...
