Gracious Bowl on the Omnivore's Hundred
Some of you've already seen this meme, but we thought we'd see where the Gracious Bowl stands in terms of the Omnivore's Hundred, courtesy of the Very Good Taste blog. The Omnivore's Hundred is a list of things every "good omnivore" should try at least once in their life.
First of all, I can't believe scrapple didn't make the list. That stuff is the pariah of pork products, but it tastes so goooood... when you fry it up in a little flour, which means it should count for something!
Collectively, we've already nibbled and sipped our way through 79% of the list. While there was grumbling after a few of the 21 remaining items, the only one we both agreed we'd never eat (unless we find ourselves facing the apocalypse) was roadkill. Margaret was ashamed to admit she'd sampled head cheese (and never will again). She is from Louisiana, so...ya know...we'll let that one slide. I, for one, will never partake of head cheese. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre pretty much closed the door for me FOREVER on that one. I know I mentioned scrapple, but that's just different somehow.
What we've both eaten is in bold; what one of us has eaten is in orange; and what we'd probably never eat is crossed out.
