Re: Omnivore's 100
Wow, what a great list to wake up hungry to. I love eating new foods and trying almost anything.

Re: Omnivore's 100
That is just one of the things that is so cool about you. Is it cold where you are these days? It's starting to finally feel like winter in New England and it's time for the cold weather food. As a matter of fact, I just bought a big block of Japanese curry, which always makes me think of you for some reason, heh heh.

I'd eat geitost & jelly on fresh bread every morning while I was in Norway. The I found some back here in the states and it just didn't have the same appeal.

Re: Omnivore's 100
Interesting...didn't know people ate that with jelly. Yet, I'm not curious enough to try this combo.

Re: Omnivore's 100
hell yeah, thats the only way they eat it up in viking country. its really not bad b/c geitost is sweet and goes well with jelly.
