MY HUNDREDTH

Hehe, I realised it was my hundredth post after I decided to do this activity. And now I see how perfectly fitting it is!
I sometimes read blogs about food (because I looove food) and while reading one of these I found the following, 100-themed activity:

My results add up to 45/100 which ain't so bad considering how arbitrary and varied the options are. I'm not going to "tag" anyone in this because a) wouldn't know who to tag and b) do it if you like. It's actually kind of fun, especially when you have to look up some of those foods and start making little mental notes of what to try.

Don't ask why I've eaten a whole insect. It involves quite a bit of immaturity, an out of control game of truth-or-dare, and a little bit of emotional scarring.
