Hungry?

You will be after visiting this link. Bloggers from around the world were asked to name five things a person should eat before they die. Seems to me I could come up with 50 a lot easier than five, but here's my stab at it this cold, drizzly morning. Feel free to play along!

1. A real Iowa pork chop
2. Eggs Benedict
3. New York Cheesecake
4. Anything on a stick from a Hong Kong street vendor
5. Chow Fun, served in a paper cone

I'm sure if I did this list again tomorrow I would have 5 new choices. Is it lunch time yet?

Two early votes for anchovies, although Dave loses points for "on the side".

Please defend your comment, using examples from your own life experience, literature, or the theater. When you are finished, put down your pencil and close your workbook. You may not work on any other section of the blog.

On the side is for wussies.

Oh, and I forgot Broodjes!!!

David said...

Ok. First of all, I order anchovies on the side not because I would like to modulate their application to my food stuffs, but rather because when they are cooked, achovies lose the raw intensity of their flavor. So, ergo, those that allow their anchovies to be cooked and, thus, made more palatable, are the real wussies.

I've also been known to order two sides of anchovies for a single pizza pie which is some X-FUCKING-STREME anchovie action.

David also understands that he is unlikely to find someone who enjoys anchovies quite as much as he does.

Voix's list:
1) Organic dark chocolate with raspberries and hazelnuts.
2) Quiche with spinach, mushrooms, garlic, and goat cheese.
3) Thai red curry with shrimp, extra hot.
4) Fresh, raw-milk camembert, baguette, with strawberries and ripe pears.
5) Cassoulet
