the Omnivore's Hundred

I've been holding off this meme a bit. That's because so many of the foods listed here carry some kind of strong emotional memory. What I really want to do is to write a food memoir using these as triggers, with the slight hitch that I don't really have the time, and Nigel Slater has already done it, way better than I ever could.  I will probably write some expanded thoughts about some of these anyway.

( my Omnivore's 100 )

57 out of 100: not as good a showing as I thought I'd have.  I suspect there are dishes here that I have had and just don't remember: carp? curried goat? criollo chocolate?  Sure, possibly.  But there are certainly a lot of gaps in my culinary experience.
