From LizZiBeth ... to torroid ... to me ... to you ...

1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten. (I put a * instead [and an '*5' next to anything I believe I only ever had back in 5th grade, due to an unusually-broadly culturally-minded teacher for her era and geographic location, who basically dragged her classes (sometimes kicking and screaming) into the wider world outside of tractor pulls and Hee Haw...])
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating. (I put a "x")
4) Maybe put a "?" by something if you've never heard of it and don't know what it is. (Me, anything I had to look up, I marked...)
