I was a vegetarian for 7 years, but during this time I didn't eat tofu. That means no meat, no tofu, no variety. Since I have started to eat meat again I love trying foods, restaurants, anything with ingredients and creativity. I also am a little obsessed with Tofu right now. Thai food is best with it. Other's blogs help me with my pursuit of good food. Just yesterday I found out that TCBY has lean pumpkin yogurt and I was very excited. I also found the Omnivore 100 list on Very Good Taste blog and had some fun using to as a variety barometer. The ones in BOLD I have had. The ones that are blue have links. I attribute a lot of the items I have tasted in this list to my month in Europe, my new love for sashimi, and attempt to taste a lot of Indian food.

Natalie,
You are gorgeous, and as a follower of my blog, obviously have astonishingly good taste in reading material.
Re: the Omnivore 100 List, you should definitely have venison with a black truffle sauce, then wash it down with cognac and a cigar this year. You'll simultaneously knock 3 things off your list, AND it'll make you feel like a 19th century Victorian capitalist (monocle, Union Jack, and bloated sense of righteousness not included).
Sincerely,
Your Friend the Surly Motherfucking Gourmand
