Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee - worth the hype
Wagyu beef - overrated (IMO)

I'll be the judge of that, as far as the homemade items. :) I should expect my care package of them to arrive when? :D

Lima beans.

Nutella by the spoonful.

Ah, so many things:

Good sourdough

Sweetbreads
Bacon
Truffles
Pad prik grapow nua with a fried egg
Soft poached eggs on almost anything
A well made macaron
Seared Foie Gras
Fried bread (preferably sourdough - see above)
A steak sandwich
Epoisses cheese
Islay whisky
Craft beer

I think I have enough there.
