William- That sounds heavenly. I didn't know Lindt had a white chocolate with coconut. Time to go find some...

Actually, I would say the same thing about the caramel ice cream at Berthillon in Paris.

I think the wife bought some for me at Walgreen's for Valentine's Day. It is a very thin, but relatively wide bar that comes wrapped in very thin aluminum wrapper surrounded by a cardboard package.

I could barely stay away from it, but did try to stretch it out over a couple of days. LOL.

Bacon.

D'oh!

:rolleyes:

...Lou Malnati's pizza!

No you di'NNN't :eek:

Lindt do one with vanilla as well - I'm not the biggest white chocolate fan but Yummmmmmmmmmm! It's part of their Excellence range - 85% cocoa solids :)

And for the OP - my homemade chickpea and chorizo soup which is currently simmering on the stove :)

Revenge

:D

No you di'NNN't :eek:

I may just go there for lunch! :p

Leftover Platters... Yummy...

...the burnt ends at Arthur Bryant's.

at home of Flyertalkers: what they did post: homemade items from the FlyerTalk menu (http://flyertalk.com/cookbook/)

but if not invited by a FlyerTalker for a tasting at his home :( I have the following alternativs to offer:

in top french (alsatian) restaurants: goose liver (in many variations)

in top chinese restaurants: the skin of a peking duck

in top italian restaurants: a simple pasta with white truffles in september/october and later ... a ristretto (about half of an expresso, it is that concentrated that you 'eat' it ...)

where i live: in zurich: (dark chocolates) truffles du jour (should be degustated the very same day) from Spruengli, Paradeplatz (you can get them before and after security at ZRH airport too). FlyerTalkers that did ever profit from the 'arrival service by Rudi' at ZRH are in the know.

where I also live: on top of Europe (the Jungfrau, above Wengen): a cheese fondue (moitié/moitié)

where I come from/born: St.Gallen Switzerland: a St.Galler Bratwurst (veal sausage) from the grill with a 'Bürli' (a small bread with a wonderfull dark crust): best butcher: Schmid at St.Jakobsstrasse (opposite the Schützengarten-brewery).

and after a great meal anywhere (if available): a glass of late-vintage icewine.

the fruits of victory

and after a great meal anywhere (if available): a glass of late-vintage icewine.

I have been meaning to try this, I hear amazing things about it. I'm just waiting an open bar tab to try it :) My student income does not allow for 40+ dollar half glasses of wine.

are we allowed to name names? :confused:

...the burnt ends at Arthur Bryant's.

I am learning - thank you (never heard of before).

from Wikipedia:
...

The restaurant gained fame over the next several decades, and notable diners included President Harry Truman. However, it became the subject of international attention when, in 1974, writer Calvin Trillin wrote in Playboy that Arthur Bryant's in Kansas City was "...possibly the best single restaurant in the world." Since then, it has been frequented by a number of famous visitors, including Steven Spielberg, Bryant Gumbel, Jimmy Carter, Jack Nicholson, and James Spader, as well as a number of barbecue aficionados.

Arthur Bryant died in 1982 at the restaurant, and the restaurant is now owned by Gary Berbiglia and Bill Rauschelbach, who expanded the restaurant to the Kansas Speedway and Ameristar Casino. Its sauce (which is characterized by tastes of vinegar and paprika rather than sweetness) is sold on the Internet and by mail, and at various locations including Kansas City International Airport.

...a bite of Ghirardelli's Citrus Sunset dark chocolate. I have dozens of bars in my kitchen.

Don't make me hurt you :mad:

The thread has inspired me to run out and buy a Lou Malnati's partially baked pizza (you order your toppings and they make it and bake it half-way to take home and finish in your oven). It should be finished in about 15 minutes! :)

Bacon.

D'oh!

:rolleyes:Bacon donuts. Mmmmmmmmm

What is this Lou Malnati's you all speak of? I see they offer mail order pizza, and I might just try it because I have never tried an authentic chicago style pizza. Is it really that good? Worth paying to have shipped to me?

Just as a heads-up: for proper Arthur Bryant's, you need to get the real thing at 17th & Brooklyn.

The stuff at the casino and at MCI is not the same. Don't ask me why...it just isn't. Probably because the smokiness isn't already in your nose when you walk into MCI.

Lou's rocks, although I've never had it shipped. We used to hit one on Fridays about 10 minutes from ORD...

Chicago has many choices: Lou's, Gino's East, and Giordano's. When I lay over at ORD, I go for the Gino's close by. Lou's is fine, but Giordano's is great.

I have never had it shipped as I live nearby, however, sometimes when I visit my sister, who lives about 70 miles away, I'll pick up a partially baked pizza and finish baking it at her house. I'll take along two or three frozen pizzas for them to enjoy until I can provide them with their next fix. They claim they are great. I think it would be safe to assume, however, that they are not as good as getting one piping hot in Chicago. :)

BTW, Giordano's, while good if you like that sort of thing, is NOT traditional Chicago deep dish pizza. It is stuffed pizza.

i agree. IMHO Giordano has no flavor. Its just cheese...bland....Lou Malnati's, OTOH, OMG the best thing Ive ever put in my mouth, IMHO better than Uno and Due.

I think I'll order one tonight....should get here on Tues :mad:

Leftover Indian for breakfast, cold of course :)

But this is Flyertalk, so the first satay after deplaning in Singapore.

and I'll have that recipe please, Jenbel

Gonna get the special order w/ Carson's ribs, Vienna hot dogs and Eil's cheese cake? That'll set you back a pretty penny! :D

Chocolates from Bernachon on the Cours Franklin Roosevelt in Lyon.

My favorites are the palets d'or; the ganache is luschious without being terribly sweet.

After deplaning? The first satay should be in the air. :D

A fresh glass of water always does the trick.

an ice cold coke first thing in the morning.
I usually fill up my stomach with something in the morning before drinking soda. Usually filling an empty stomach early in the morning with something gassy can easlily bring diahorea to me.

I recalled getting a chocolate from that town, only to melt on the way back to the hotel. Stupid me for not taking good care of it.

Wow, many out there actually go for Pizza for their breakfast. :D I'd never really consider Pizza as a breakfast meal to be honest. :)

I guess Chicago Pizza enjoys many popularity as a New Yorker Pizza. :)

for me, few things taste as good as a mini-toblerone, at any time of day. even regular-sized toblerones don't taste as good, but i have no idea why. :p

I'm also partial to sugar cookies with sprinkles on them (the kind that look like tiny balls, not those janky chocolate jimmies) when they are still a little warm from the oven.

and of course nothing will ever taste as good as my mother's delicious indian cooking. :)

A truely ripe fresh peach
A wonderful sweet tomato
Really fresh sweet corn

The first Diet Coke of the day may be at breakfast, but the first bite of a Lou Malanati's pizza has to be fresh from the oven. :)

Fresh white truffles in Italy in the Fall..preferably grated over risotto or pasta. This is one of the best reasons to go to Italy in late October/November.
