Oh, how I love to eat. :smile:
Vegetarians beware. Reading this list may make you ill.
Rare prime rib with au jus
Broiled Lobster with lemon and clarified butter
Dungeoness crab from the West Coast. The flavor is sweeter, more succulent than Alaskan King Crab or Maryland Blue Crabs. Everyone here thinks Blue Crabs are wonderful and yes, they're ok, but they don't compare to Dungeoness crab. *waits for the bashing to begin*
Steamed clams and oysters with horseradish
Clam chowder from Cappy's Chowder House in Camden, Maine.
Most ocean fish especially salmon and swordfish
Steamed artichokes with clarified butter
Most fresh vegetables, especially garden fresh green beans
Mushrooms. Wonderful fungus.
Every citrus fruit on the planet. Love berries.
Indian, Thai, Korean Barbeque, Lebanese, Northern Italian, Greek, regional Mexican (not what you get in the states), Cajun and Creole, Scandinavian sweet breads and cakes.
Few things are better than excellent sushi. Few things are worse than bad sushi.
Thin, crispy crust pizza or a deep dish from Gino's East in Chicago (every year on my birthday, I arrange for a half-baked pizza to be delivered to my house).
The best pizza i've had to date is Bertolli's in Northern California. Fantastic crust and sauce topped with thin slices of dry italian salami. Exquisite.
I'm not a chocoholic per se (you won't catch me eating Hershey's) but I love Belgian and Swiss chocolate.
Chocolate dipped strawberries. Oh so yummy.
Cheese is the wonder food. You have to know what kind to use and how to use it. Brie, sharp Vermont cheddar, camembert, gouda, emmenthal, gruyere, romano and havarti are my favourites. Cheddar cheese on apple pie or cobbler? Heaven.
I'll stop for now :biggrin1:
