101 vegetarian foods everyone should try

Sometimes when I meet someone new who doesn't know any vegetarians, they ask "but what what do you eat?" Some people have the notion that it's all just mung beans and lentils. While they are important, thats not all veggies eat. So with those people as inspiration, I came up with a list of foods that everyone, veggie and meat eater alike should try. I have yet to complete the list myself, but seriously, you're opening up a whole world of taste here. Some on the list are fairly ordinary, some more adventurous, some you may need to take a flight to try, but you'll have fun getting through it.
