The VGT Christmas Fifty

Since I enjoyed the Omnivore's 100, I decided to do Very Good Taste's Christmas Fifty. See the orginal post for some useful links to what some of these items are.

Here’s what to do:

1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve tasted.
3) Place an asterisk after all the items you’ve cooked/prepared.
4) Optional: Cross out anything you never want to try, or add an exclamation mark after anything your really want to try.

You’re also welcome to post a link to your version of the list here at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk.
