Carnivore 100 - another foodie list
Fri, Dec 12 2008 at 9:14 AM
I’ve introduced you to the Vegetarian 100. I’ve introduced you to the Omnivore’s 100. There is one last foodie list floating around the web. It’s the Carnivore 100. Of all the lists, I scored the highest on this one, coming in 44 ½ (see No. 76 to see where the ½ comes from). The foods I’ve tried have been bolded.What I’ve enjoyed about these lists is learning about foods I’ve never even heard of, but now want to try. From this list what gets my mouth watering is the Croque Monsieur – a French ham and cheese sandwich that is nothing like any ham and cheese I’ve ever had. Loose meat sounds like something my family would enjoy and something new to use up all the ground beef I stocked up on the last day of the farmers market.
I don’t see these lists as something to be conquered. I don't feel like I must try every one of these dishes before I’m 50 or something like that. They are just one entertaining way of educating me further about food. They are also a way to challenge me to make some new dishes.
