In Keeping with the Veggie Curious from Yesterday: The Vegetarian 100

Yesterday at Eat.Drink.Better, one of my fellow writers, Kelli, asked Have You Had the Vegetarian 100? According to Kelli it's a list 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.

I've identified the ones I've tried by bolding them. My score is pretty sad. 38%. But I'm going to make it a point to try at least ten more of these items over the fall and winter. There is also an omnivore 100, and a vegan 100. I'll have to hunt them down and post them here with my results, too. I'm sure my omnivore score will be much higher and my vegan score will be really low. 

Take a look at the list and let me know in the comments what your score is.
