Are you the type of person who says you’ll try anything at least once? Do you consider yourself a truly adventurous eater? Well, what about roadkill - would you eat that? Yea, we thought we were adventurous too until we saw this list of foods! Inspired by the original “Omnivore’s 100″ list created by Very Good Taste blog, we decided to make this the topic for our October Monthly Mouthful.

We asked food bloggers across the world to tell us:
“What foods would you NEVER try in a million years? Are there any?” and recommended they refer to the Omnivore’s 100 list for inspiration.

We may be foodies, but some of us do have restrictions. See which foods we wouldn’t touch after the jump!

We’re so grateful to all our participants, who have shared their foodie expertise and experiences this past year. We wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you!

We usually like to ask our favorite bloggers what they like to cook, but this month we wanted to know what they won’t cook! Every cook draws the line somewhere and we wanted to know where that line is. So we asked:

What is your recipe deal breaker? What instructions or ingredients make you “put down the whisk and walk away”?

(We were inspired by this article from the New York Times.)

Read the responses after the jump and share your recipe deal breaker in the comments below!

One of my favorite things about cooking is the sense of achievement we feel when what we create is actually delicious. Preparing food isn’t just about feeding ourselves and our hungry families, no it’s more than that - it’s something that can really make us feel proud.

So, this month, we asked our favorite food bloggers to:
Tell us about their proudest cooking moments and share the recipes!

Read all the responses below to see what everyone said. And, share your favorite in the comments!
