Sean assesses his familiarity with the Omnivore's Hundred. I thought about playing along, but it's pretty meaty, while my diet is not so much. However, Sean was kind enough to post a link to the Vegetarian's Hundred, a list of one hundred vegetarian food items everyone should try at least once…
Korea has a 5000 year history of food and farming. How much can a nine-year old and her mother learn on a two week visit to this land of miracles? For the first few nights we stayed in a tiny room in a traditional Korean house called a "Hanok" house. There is a courtyard that everyone shares that…

I think I've tried all, except for garlic scapes, fattoush, muhammara, and imam biyaldi. Once you've made your own hummus or tabouleh, you won't go back to store-bought.

good lord, how can an Irishman never have eaten steel cut oats??? (I looked at your other food list, too. No pho?? I'm aghast.)

Oh, forgot to say-have had everything except the fresh water chestnuts.

I've eaten 76 of those food. Missing in particular are any food containing soy beans, except in familiar soy sauce form. There is some flavour in every other soy product I've tasted (but not eaten), beginning with tofu and the beans themselves that immediately makes my brain think the things are poisonous.

And don't anybody tell me tofu only has the flavours you add to it: that's a falsehood, stuff tastes like iron and pesticide, IMO.

Bee: There are a few soy-based items on the list, including Tempeh, Ma Po Tofu, and pressed spiced Chinese tofu.

John, if you haven't tried kimchi, I recommend a visit to the Manna Cafe in Chandler (Arizona Ave. and Guadalupe). I never eat like a vegetarian there (I have to get the spicy pork BBQ), but every meal comes with a bunch of appetizers including kimchi, most of which are vegetarian and quite tasty.

@ Sabine & Jim

Actually I have tried those (oats & kimchee) ... don't know how I missed them first run around.
