I am not big on memes but this one struck a chord. I will need to look a few of these up as they may be different names than we would use.
The Food tasting meme
- Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
- Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
Cross outany items that you would never consider eating (or eating again)- Optional extra: Post a comment http://www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.
To make the filling out of this form and generating the HTML for it a bit easier, reddywhp has played around with some PHP. Go to http://reddywhip.org/lj/foods/ and fill it out there. After filling it out, you will be given the code to copy and paste into your blog.
Livejournal users, remember to use your LJ-Cuts!
