I'm a wineaux, but am I a foodie?

Yes, we all know I love my wine. And vodka. And other fermented products. But, do I love my food?

Inspired by the Wannabe Wino's post on this topic, I thought I'd see how well my drinking habits match up to my eating habits.

Have you had these things? Does this make me a foodie?

According to the rules of the game, for this list:

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 at Very Good Taste linking to your results.
