Fine foods -- what are you a sucker for?

Also Greek salads with olive oil and fetta cheese - being greek myself, I grew up on it :)

I'm with you on that one! But I prefer it as a pate.

Also, Godiva's Raspberry Swirl Chocolate Truffle icecream is wonderful.

Saganaki, too. I do love me a flamin' cheese.
 
My favorite thing ever was the Kind Crab legs at the Sacred Searoom in Las Vegas. *orgasms*

I am hoping to visit my aunt in Cape Cod one year to sample some of their delicious fresh seafood from the markets :)
 
I've recently discovered these sweet ciggarellos

Im with web although know what seafood is, What the heck is a ciggarello? I can only imagine it is a sweet made of chocolate or something...!!! so what is it? :)

Had to edit to include what the heck is !!!

Priscuitto (some sort of bread my guess - dead wrong? haha)

I absolutely love bread and hate it at the same time. It tastes so incredibly yummy (espeically when it's nice and crusty) but it's so difficult to do homemade (I hate bread machines).

Other than that, I absoultely love Indian food....chicken tandoori and passage naan bread are scrumptious.
 
mmm.... gourmet pizza is very good. i just finished eating one :) i love things like fetta, kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatos on my pizza.
i really can't stand dark chocolate. But lindt chocolate, in white or dairymilk is beeauutiful....
 
A ciggarello is a mini cigar--they come sweet or (regular)spicy. To me this is somewhat akin to a food because sometimes where I buy my chocolate I buy my tobbacco. I am not a regular smoker--but as I said I enjoy fine things be they food or drug. :)
 
DarthGuru, try a Flat iron cut...

For meats: Waygu Japanese Beef Cattle
Stewart's Natural Beef Jerky
Sucker for any slice of good lamb

Chocolates: Not so much just chocolate but a good candy bar is Cadbury Flake (Heaven in a stick)

Licoirice (sp?) I'm from America and hate American licoirice. Give double salted Swedish any day of the week.
 
some like some lamb guts or something !!
=D <3

Foie gras is duck or goose something or rather? Never had it and I haven't quite figured it out yet. I had to check twice in order to spell that right even.

What is short panatella? N/M I just did some research. Those look nice! I'd like to check those out. I'll go by my chocolate/tobbacco shop soon to see if they carry em'.

fruitfly -- You're in San Francisco? In San Francisco there are many Indian Restaurants and over in Berkely are a lot of Indian stores/delis. Raja on Haight is really good and Tasty Curry on 7th near Irving is the best one I've been to here (mmm, it's so good!) Naan N' Curry is okay (they have awesome tea), but don't go to the on on 7th. These are the only ones I've been to in the year I've been here, but I also work a min. wage job, so am broke too much. Back in Fresno where I grew up we had a very concentrated and small amount of Indian markets and restaraunts. There was this one store I used to go to called India Sweets & Spices and they had the most delicious samosas for 50 cents each! I've seen them here for as much as 2.00, which is outrageous because it's not as if they're that hard to make or have such exotic ingredients, but this is San Francisco and some people think they can charge an arm and a leg for diversity.

MilesTeg-I've never had salted licorice, where can you buy it? I've had candy brought back from Sweden and have to say it's so much better then your dime a dozen candy stores here. I mean shit swedish fish are the best things in an American candy store besides jaw breakers.
