Omnivore’s Meme
Meg posted one of the most interesting memes I’ve ever seen, so of course I had to play along.
Bold those you have tried.
Strike through those you wouldn’t eat on a bet.
Italicize any item you’ll never eat again.
*Asterisk any items you’d be interested in trying but have not yet.
Underline anything you eat regularly (more than once a month-ish).
?Questionisk any items you’ve never heard of (there will be a lot of these!)

MMM! Pocky!
The kids love it.
August 20th, 2008 at 5:32 amAnd you’ve never heard of POUTINE???
Somehow I have been negligent. I *LOVE* poutine.
August 20th, 2008 at 5:38 am[…] For now, here’s a meme I saw at both Meg’s and Carrie’s. […]
August 20th, 2008 at 5:57 amAndrea - okay, I looked them up. I’ve seen those chocolat-dipped cookie sticks before, but had no idea they were called pocky. Around here, we call horse manure horse “pucky” - so you can see why the name sounds a little unappetizing.
And poutine sounds like it is full of fat and calories - and I would probably love it.
August 20th, 2008 at 6:15 amYeah we have horse puckies too, but Pockys are cute! And japanese!
August 20th, 2008 at 8:52 amSo… Did you google sweetbreads yet? EW!
Love sauerkraut! What was that about pork buns? Squeal!
August 21st, 2008 at 1:40 pmLisa - not yet - I’m going to do a post soon, though, about the ones I didn’t know.
August 21st, 2008 at 8:22 pmOh Carrie - I am from the south and I kinda find in amusing/pathetic/disturbing how many animals I have eaten!
August 23rd, 2008 at 12:00 pmLyn - the variety of food is amazing, isn’t it?
