What Have YOU Been Eating????

I don’t remember where I picked this up. I was blog-surfing a couple weeks ago and ran across it somewhere. It sounded interesting, so I copied and saved it till now. It is a list of foods from all over the world, some well known, others of more obscure origin. You’re welcome to do what I did, steal the list and see about your eating habits.
