What Have You Eaten?

Erin passed along this interesting one: what from this list have you eaten, would you eat, or would you never eat? I had to look up some of the items on the list, but I was pleased to see that I've tried a lot of the list.

Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions. Bold all the items you've eaten. Cross out any items that you would never consider eating (or eating again). [I don't know how to cross out text here, so I've put the "never eats" in red. And the "have tried" in blue for good measure.]
