1) Copy this list into your own blog, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten. (edit: I've also added a big X next to them for greater visibility)
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
4) Post a comment here once you’ve finished and link your post back to this one.
5) Pass it on!
1. Natto I've heard tons of stories about this scary fermenty Japanese specialty, but I've never tried it. I have promised myself that I will once I get myself to Japan, though!
2. X Green Smoothie Baby spinach and spirulina powder are my smoothie greening agents of choice.
3. X Tofu Scramble Oh god yes. I like tofu scrambled any which way, any which day.
4. Haggis I have not tried vegan (or non-vegan!) haggis yet, but I'll be much closer to its birthplace in a couple of weeks, so who knows...?
5. Mangosteen I've come close! I've had dried mangosteens and bought some fresh ones in Paris which turned out to have gone bad. This fruit sounds so good by all descriptions, that I can't wait for a trip to southeast Asia, to finally try some fresh ones.
6. X Creme brulee I have had this in vegan form in a number of restaurants, but have yet to try making any at home.
7. X Fondue Yes! Fondue is too fun not to have tried.
8. X Marmite/Vegemite I have tried both, and Vegemite is a kitchen staple in our house, to give a savory, "meaty" taste to lots of comforting dishes.
9. X Borscht Yes. Again, I've had yummy veggie borscht in restaurants, but have never tried it at home. Why not? This goes on this Winter's to-do list!
10. X Baba ghanoush Heavenly stuff. Fire-roasted eggplant, tahini, and plenty of garlic, what's not to love? We have this frequently at our house.
11. X Nachos Yes! For Daiku and me, Friday nights are fun nights for dinner, which often means a big plate of nachos.

14. X Aloo gobi

I love your blog!!! Here's my 100...
www.rebornvegan.blogspot.com
I love that you have not crossed out any item on the 100 list!
My list is up but I take exception to the addition of highly processed and packaged foods like soy whipped cream and fake meats, so I've made a "crunchy vegan 100" version of the list, reinstating some items from the original -- like rose harissa, ZOMG! the yum!
you've never had a vegan samosa?!
That's quite an extensive list. I have had Jamacian Blue Mountain coffee WITH Potato milk in it!! Imagine that.
I loved the bagel post. I eat a bagel almost everyday. Do these come out dense & chewy? That's how I like them. I'd be willing to go through the trouble if they're as good as you say.
80 out of 100 is awesome, you're pretty much there! I feel like it may become a new year's resolution for me for 2009... ;)
I knew you wouldn't cross any off! And it is too bad that you aren't here - I have a raw scotch bonnet pepper sitting ON MY DESK as I type. (A coworker gave it to me so I can plant the seeds and try to grow some of my own.)
*****grrrr***
That's the sound of my stomach growling. It's dinnertime and everyone has this mouth-watering list on their blogs....
Will follow up with this next week :)
i'm a sucker for lists!
My goal is to do this today... love all of your additional comments rather than just posting the list!
And wait, butterscotch chips are in green... you mean you can buy them there but you've never eaten them?
i'm so impressed! there are many many things on this list that i, too, have yet to try...but i guess we're all working on it! and kudos for not having anything crossed off!
i'm interested in this vegan haggis idea...what would it be made out of?? i'm up for the challenge!
mangosteen is my favorite froooooot <3 <3 <3 you can find them in san franciscoasian markets, but they always have this spooky flavor to them. i think it's cuz they get frozen and defrosted.
Vegan croissants are a dream of mine. They must exist, my dear, and WE MUST FIND THEM.
