This past weekend, while catching up on a few of the food blogs I saw on Dog Hill Kitchen a list of one hundred foods a vegetarian should not miss. The list was compiled over at Feeding Maybelle and, while I am not a vegetarian, I do try and eat a vegetarian meal at least once or twice a week. So, I thought I'd see how many of these foods I've had.
Feel free to play along. Rules are the same as the Omnivore's Hundred, bold the ones you've had and cross off the ones you aren't interested in trying. Feel free to leave a comment over at Feeding Maybelle with your results!
