High Blood Colesterol @ 20

20 is well high, Surely they have given you drugs to sort that? my doctor told me 5.5 was the limit before it is thought of as high.
 
The foods I've encountered which have high cholesterol are eggs, some fish (haddock, sardines etc), chicken or turkey meat (mostly leg/dark meat) cheeses and milk.

Of course, these foods have plenty of goodness too, so it's a matter of balancing them as part of your daily intake. One egg is 70% of your daily cholesterol apparently. Check here for full data on any food you are concerned about:

I'm also not sure how intake of cholesterol equates to blood cholesterol, and the so called 'good' and 'bad' types. If you're eating 4 eggs a day or something this may be something to address though!
