Food meme from ... almost everyone

[alitalf]

This food meme seems more relevant to the US than the UK, but even with the things that really aren't as widely (or at all?) available in the UK, still I ended up listing 62. I always say that if it isn't actively running away, it is fair game;-)

The meme:

1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
4) Optional extra: Post a comment here at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.

Funnel cake is basically doughnut batter that is dropped into hot fat through a funnel so it ends up like a big fat pancake made of squiggles, then sprinkled with icing sugar. It is typical fairground food, and very yummy as long as you eat it fresh, but sits heavily on the stomach if not fresh.
