Carob has its own charms when it’s not being used as fake chocolate. Powdered carob actually makes a good secret ingredient in cocoa-based baked goods *in addition to* the cocoa–makes them taste a little deeper and darker.

I’ve tried haggis too, and didn’t care for it much. I was at a Bobbie Burns celebration.

OH, Chicken tikka massala! I used to take my son to this great Indian restaurant when he was only 2 or 3 years old, and it was his favourite dish. It was also cute to hear him order it with perfect pronunciation!

I actually have had haggis. I had a very small bite, because I felt that living in Scotland for two years, even as a vegetarian, and not at least trying a bite would be silly.

It’s too meaty for me, but I recommend it as something to try for anyone who likes meat; it tastes interesting.

Somebody should make a vegetarian’s 100.

Rose harissa is harissa with rose petals, said to be the best. So apply your #88 to your #93 and you’re golden.

Your numbering is different than the version I saw; also you’re missing some. As a result your Onmivore’s 100 has become Omnivore’s 92.

Here’s the first 14:
1. Venison
2. Nettle tea
3. Huevos rancheros
4. Steak tartare
5. Crocodile
6. Black pudding
7. Cheese fondue
8. Carp
9. Borscht
10. Baba ghanoush
11. Calamari
12. Pho
13. PB&J sandwich
14. Aloo gobi
