If you’re gonna use a single line break with Markdown, you have to put two spaces on the end of each line:

Bacon
Turkey
Mushrooms
Green onion
Garlic clove
Sugar Peas
Kalamata Olives

or put an asterisk and space before each line for a bulleted list:

• Habanero
• Gruyere
• Bleu cheese
• Red grapes
• Blackberries
• Strawberries
• Honey
