Inspired by The Omnivore’s 100, and Tiger and Strawberries’ The Vegetarian 100, I created my own Carnivore’s 100.
Man, am I hungry now.
1. This list is in no particular order nor is it all encompassing. It is limited to land-based animals and are not always cuts of meat, but preparations. I like all kinds of foods, and have tried all kinds of foods, but there will probably be a heavy European and American bent. I’ll be really interested to hear what your additions or subtractions should be. If you don’t know what it is, google it. I haven’t eaten all of these items myself (MOST of them. Except the ones involving blood.), but a consensus of random people (read: my coworkers and the Twitterverse) insisted on a few of them.
2. As before, cross out what you’d never eat, bold what you’ve had.
3. Comment here if you’ve posted it to your blog, I’d love to see other people’s lists!
