In the meanwhile, Danielle from Maple Syrup and Poutine has come up with her own version of the VGT's Omnivore's 100 (my score is here). I think it's a great list...here's how I've done...The way I've done it is to grey out the ones I've not eaten (can't figure out the strikethrough command), the bits in blue are things I won't have and what's in pink are my comments.

I love this one with Canadian Food.
Have an Happy Thanksgiving!
Oreilles de Christ? I don't even want to know...I assume some kind of pastry?
BTW, Jasmine, to make strikethroughs, you put "strike" inside the pointy things before the text, and /strike after it, also inside the pointy things. (Blogger won't let me use them here.) If you forget, just highlight and put it in bold, then look at the code "strong" (you have to be in "Edit HTML" mode rather than "Compose," and change the word to "strike". Works for me.
Oh--okay, I googled Oreilles de Christ.
Deep fried smoked pork jowls.
Would have preferred the pastries.
I love this version - it's so Canadian. Happy Thanksgiving Jasmine.
Love it, love it, love it, am sending it to my Canadian family for a 'Thanksgiving present'.
Two suggestions: triticale and French fries with vinegar.
Happy Thanksgiving. Hope you have been relaxing and just sitting back. While, I expect, dreaming up a wonderful idea for Monday's dessert. Possibly a Beezlebub free idea? Enjoy your Monday holiday.
Huggles to you and the cats, Michelle and Zebby-cat from downunder.
Thanks for putting this up. I'm still working on that list as well - gives me a great excuse to travel the country though!
- Danielle
this is a great list, happy thanksgiving!
what a great list! happy thanksgiving jasmine.
Happy Thanksgiving, Jasmine! Hope you had a great turkey dinner.
I sthebeavers tail literal or figurative? I will google now.
Oreilles de Christ are pork rinds.
I've had most of the vegetarian things on this list, and a handful of the meat ones from before I turned veg. There's a few things I'd add:
Buckwheat honey from the Laurentides
Garlic scapes (are those already on the list?)
Halifax donair
A sugar shack breakfast
Spruce tea and/or beer
Hmmm, I read that Oreilles de Christ are pork jowls deep-fried and doused with maple syrup.

P.S. Jasmine, the strike-through command is either <del>text to be stricken</del> or <strike>text to be stricken</strike>
jellied moose nose?
I like this list, I have had about half.
