100 nom challenge

I am late to the game on this one, but last year, the author of the blog "Very Good Taste" posted "The Omnivore's Hundred" - a list of "100 Must-Eats" for all ambitious omnivores out there. Since then, Slashfood has posted a list of 100 must-eat American foods, and a bunch of other blogs have done similarly. (here, here, here, and here).
