Here’s a chance for a little interactivity for all the bloggers out there. Below is a list of 100 things that I think every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life. The list includes fine food, strange food, everyday food and even some pretty bad food - but a good omnivore should really try it all. Don’t worry if you haven’t, mind you; neither have I, though I’ll be sure to work on it. Don’t worry if you don’t recognise everything in the hundred, either; Wikipedia has the answers.
Here’s what I want you to do:
1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
4) Optional extra: Post a comment here at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.

Raspberry lemonade cupcakes
These cupcakes are the best. I added a couple packets of Crystal Light Raspberry Lemonade travel packets to the water that I added to a white cake mix. I saw this on 'How to eat a cupcake' blog. She made hers from scratch, but I used a mix. They are really good. I also added 1 packet of the Raspberry Lemonade mix to the water in some buttercream icing. You can smell the raspberry before you even taste it. These are highly recommended.

Steeler cookies
I did some Steeler cookies for a friend of ours today. His bd is tomorrow, and he is a true Steeler fan, so I thought these were appropiate. I used Satin Ice fondant on them. It is very smooth when rolled out. and the taste is good.
