Have you seen the Omnivore's Hundred<\/a>?  It's an interesting food-blog post setting out the list of 100 things that every "good omnivore" really should try at some point in their lives.  (I've tried 79 of them<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Now for the clever part:  Darcy over at the Art of Drink<\/a> has come up with the "Imbiber's 100<\/a>"  — a hundred tipples to try before you die:<\/p>\n

(ones I've tried are bolded.  I was instructed to cross out the ones I won't touch, but I'll try anything once.)<\/small>
