The Omnivore's Hundred is a list of foods the gastronomic Andrew Wheeler
thinks everyone should try at least once in their lives.

The rules of the meme: bold those you have tried, 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.
