News travels pretty fast in the blogosphere, and the latest craze that’s been showing up on food blogs far and wide has been The Omnivore’s Hundred, a list of 100 foods that all omnivores should eat at some point in their lives. Well, I like the idea, but obviously that sort of thing just doesn’t fly with me. Instead, I present to you my revised list, The Vegan’s Hundred instead! Everything here is either naturally free of animal products or can be veganized, and just like the original, these foods vary from the every day to extraordinary, delectable and disgusting. They’re simply all of the things that, in my opinion, any vegan foodie should definitely sink their teeth into at least once.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it:
1) Copy this list into your own blog, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
4) Post a comment here once you’ve finished and link your post back to this one.
5) Pass it on!

3. Tofu Scramble

5. Mangosteen

August 21, 2008 at 10:25 am
Wait… you’ve never eaten carob chips!?!??!?! I’m confused – are the words/foods that have links the ones you’ve eaten or no??
August 21, 2008 at 10:42 am
Fabulous list, Hannah! I’m a bit surprised at how many I HAVE actually eaten–but there are lots I’m still dying to try (durian, for example!). Can’t wait to give this a go. :)
PS to reiterate what Veggie Girl wrote–which are the ones YOU’VE tried (or have you tried them all??)
August 21, 2008 at 10:55 am
Awesome, Hannah. What a wonderful idea. Here’s my list.

I had fun with the list! I’ve just posted mine.
The list made me realize some things I am also dying to try – like veganizing some mochi, and going to New York (to try Candle 79 being one of the many, many reasons).
And I’d never heard of a Stroopwafle until now either.
August 21, 2008 at 9:59 pm
This was awesome, fun, and gave me some great new ideas for things I need to try as a baby vegan.

i only got 32 on the omni one (with 51 never had/never wills) and 5 of those were only vegan versions anyway.

That’s okay about the sesame noodles Hannah, I thought 3 Tbs was a lot of soy sauce when putting the sauce together and probably should’ve trusted my instincts :) It was still really good, just a menal note for next time for me.
This is a fun list! I’ll put it on my blog soon, there’s a lot I haven’t tried.

This has been really interesting! I have looked through almost everyone else’s lists here.
My list is up but I take exception to the addition of highly processed and packaged foods like soy whipped cream and fake meats (mostly because they come in so much plastic), so I’ve made a “crunchy vegan 100” version of the list, reinstating some items from the original — like rose harissa, OMG! the yum!
August 26, 2008 at 7:42 am
Hurray for the vegan versions (I was too lazy to think up my own). I didn’t cross anything off your list Hannah, everything that I hadn’t heard of sounded very interesting!

I just finished doing my post. Phew! I had to look up a lot of those items, but they looked really interesting, so now I will HAVE to try them! There were only a couple I’m not interested in trying such as vegan caviar (never liked it’s original counterpart) and black truffles (I don’t like mushrooms so I don’t think I’d like these either, but who knows!). My post is at http://veganyummerific.blogspot.com/. Thanks for all the great ideas!

I loved this list. Have tried way more than half, so I’m on my way. My post is at Villavegan.com.
