In the spirit of all the blog love that’s been bouncing around the internets this week (I blame Sir Valentine), I’m continuing the trend.  I’ve been meaning to add this meme for a while, and now seems like the perfect time for a vegan blogosphere-related post.  Those of you who are especially internet savvy may remember ‘The Omnivores Hundred’ that swept the blog circuit last year – a list of 100 items that every aspiring ‘foodie’ should sample at least once.  Not one to be left out of the fun, Hannah over at Bittersweet took it upon herself to revamp the this list for the cruelty-free crew.  Who says that ‘foodie’ and vegan are mutually exclusive?!

The rules:

• Copy this list into your own blog, including these instructions.
• Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
• Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
• Post a comment here once you’ve finished and link your post back to this one.
• Pass it on!
