Theft

I stole nicked this from Parenthesis.  I never realised what an idiot I am when it comes to food.  Here is my shame. . .

1. Bold the ones you’ve tried.
2. Strike through the ones you wouldn’t touch if you were starving and it were a choice between that and boiled goats testicles.
3. Italicize the shit you might be tempted to try. Say you were a contestant on Survivor…
4. Feel free to leave a running commentary.
