Foods I have eaten from Lady Crumpet

So...I am a really picky eater, no question. My husband and son are worse, though it seems impossible. I came across the list below on the oddly named site "Lady Crumpet's Armoire. It comes with rules:

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.

My pickiness was peaked! In italics are the things I've tried. Assume from the odd items on the list I would never try it it I haven't already. Picky, picky, picky!
