How To Become A Certified Foodie

Late last night, a good friend of mine posted a link on my wall. As a person who is online almost 24/7 given that my signal’s good, I check my mails and whatnot as soon as I receive it (unless I’m still at Dreamland).

List of food that makes you a foodie. That was the name of the article. It instantly got me interested and pushed me to check the list as soon as I heard the beep.

The long list below is THE LIST and the food was organized alphabetically. I have tried some of them already while others sound so foreign to me that I had to Google it. Those in yellow are those I have tried already while those with links, I have blogged about. :) Those in bold face, I just have to try this year. So friends, please help me find it. :)
