This has been floating around and I thought I'd plop it here and keep track. Similar to my 101 in 1001 that I've totally failed at (and will be compiling a new one soon)...
I've started the list by bolding all the foods I've already tried, and from here on out I'll highlight in a different color additional foods as I try them.
