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.

Basically, consider anything meat or diary on this list to be crossed out. When I went on vacation back in June I was craving pizza and ice cream. After ten days and a lot of discomfort and skin-explodey, I've come to the realization that diary, I no can has. Which bums me out not as much as I thought it would.

22. Fresh wild berries-- That's pretty much what violetisblue and live on the whole month of July, until we go critical mass on the ascorbic acid and have to cut back.
23. Foie gras-- Most people who like foie gras are really condescending. "Once you try it, you'll understand." (*pat pat*) So Vali and I ordered this at a dinner once. It tasted like the fat cut off a piece of steak. I've tried it, and I still don't understand.

91. Spam-- I used to love going to my grandparent's house, as they always had the good stuff: spam, potted meat, Velveeta, vienna sausages, not that old boring home-cooked meal stuff. Food that had been that processed was novel to me when I was young.
92. Soft shell crab-- One of the very first lunch dates I ever had with violetisblue was at Bertha's restaurant in Fells Point, Maryland. (Eat Bertha's Mussels) I ordered the soft shell crab as I'd never eaten it before, and it seemed a novel thing to do to eat an entire animal between 2 slices of bread. As I bit into it, a bit of orangey-chunky stuff came out of the crab and onto the plate. "Must be the mustard they cooked it in," I said to Vali. Vali, who hadn't known me long enough (and was too polite) to laugh really hard at me, thought, and told me later, "That's not mustard!" Even now, "That's not mustard!" is one of those couple shorthand things we say to each other.
