It has been 6 years since I went to Paris and I still talk about the jambon et fromage on a baguette. Best ham and cheese sandwich I EVER ate. God, I miss Paris. Food Paradise!

Other things I just cannot resist:
Chocolate chip cookies - homemade or Uncle Biffs cookies here in San Diegp.
Good thin french fries (frites!)
A good cut of steak with butter on it (gorgonzola butter is my favorite).
Good Mexican Food- nothing like an authentic carne asada burrito with onions and guac from a 2 dollar taco stand.

OK- I am seriously hungry after this thread!

1. Bacon, preferably crisp: Don't get me near any breakfast buffets with bacon. I'd take the whole pan. :eek:
2. Freshly baked apple/cherry crisp with vanilla ice cream
3. Key lime *anything*
4. Mangoes
5. Green tea ice cream
6. Biscuits with sausage gravy (my ideal breakfasts are heart-stopping)

1) Just about anything Thai
2) A good steak (Ribeye cajun style or NY Strip)
3) Crab cakes (I make my own w/ jumbo meat from Maryland & Alaska)
4) Gumbo
5) I have my own breakfast combination - hominy, prosciutto ham, bits of smoked bacon, onions (shallots, onions, green & red) all cooked in bacon fat! :D

It's funny for someone who grew up in NYC, but I love biscuits and gravy.

Maine Wild Blueberrys - tiny by comparison to those big plump NJ monsters you find in the supermarket...but *one* has more flavor than a basket-full of store bought.

Bread from Dudley's Bakery, Santa Ysabel, California (back country San Diego County) - I've *NEVER* manage to get more than 1/2 the loafs bought home. As when the smell of fresh baked bread permeates the car, an immediate need to eat some ensues.

The Lunch of the Gods - Cold Cracked Dungeness Crab, a baguette of Boudin's sourdough bread, and a bottle of Anchor Porter consumed on a bench overlooking San Francisco Bay.

Oysters at Emmett Watson's Oyster Bar in Seattle, WA.

Roasted Chestnuts from the London Street vendors.

It's made to a slightly different recipe around the world, usually to stop it melting, and sorry to those of you overseas - it just isn't as nice.

When I travel overseas if i'm told to bring anything from the UK it, more often than not, is Cadbury's Dairy Milk Chocolate.... and it's cheap £1.50 for a big bar!

100% agree. Having grown up in India and the UK, I find the US version of Cadbury's to be.. *blech*

Actually, I find that to be true about all US made chocolate, in general :(

It's east of Ramona & north of Julian.

Either take I-15 north to Escondido and then take Highway 78 east to Santa Ysabel

Or take I-8 East to highway 79 north.

Funny. My better half became so enamored with the pig in Hawaii that she even wrote a poem about it called "Ode to a Pig".
