Have you seen those food memes making the rounds of the blogosphere? A meme is kind of a “tag-you’re-it” of the blog world.  Someone posts about something, then links to a few other bloggers they know, who are then tagged to do the same thing.  It’s usually a list of questions to answer or a list to check off.  These food memes are lists of 100 different food items that foodies of that persuasion should have tried, and bloggers identify which items they’ve actually tried, then add up their score.  It’s an interesting way to examine just how adventurous your palate is and where you stand in relation to other food enthusiasts.   There are three version of this particular meme: an omnivore 100, a vegetarian 100, and a vegan 100.  I’m trying out the vegetarian 100 (and you can, too) after the jump.
