A Bug's Life

#1: walking home after the pub, an oik on a bike shouts ( language )

#2: on next-door's forecourt, a hedgehog snuffles about. In reference to earlier conversation, it does not a) mate, b) bite my Dad's toe, or c) get eaten by a badger. It does, however, remind me of the Powerpuff girls.

There is a list going round of 100 things that a British publication considers to be interesting and/or exotic food that people should at least try once.

I've eaten quite a lot of them (with a few notable exceptions): my-mother-the-dietician would often bring home unusual foods (well, uncommon on the British dinner table in the early 1980s); then I read somewhere that every year you eat a new food after the age of 35 extends your life expectancy by a year (which probably indicates a correlation between open-mindedness and lifespan rather than the foods themselves helping) and have been keen to try new foodstuffs. So:

1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
4) Optional extra: Post a comment at the originating site linking to your results.
