Pasta.
Crab
Cheese
Garlic. The more, the better.
hot sauce
Oh yeah, baby!
Green chile.
Asparagus, capers, spinach (unless there’s a risk it will come from a can), halloumi or paneer. Anything green-tasting or pickled. Anything unusual. Anything self-assembly or likely to come with specialist eating utensils.
In my meat-eating days, anything with a scallop or scuttling sea creature. Anything raw and throbbing.
a burrito
Duck, or if I’m in Paris, Goat’s cheese!
Duck, lamb, squid, ceviche.
It took thirty-one replies to get to BACON?!
Lamb - It’s too expensive to buy in the supermarket (with the exception of lamb neck bones.)
Anything with Old Bay sprinkled on it. I’m a sucker for Old Bay.
And I’m a sucker for the combined ingredients of feta cheese, walnuts, sauteed onions, and spinach.
Mushrooms and/or artichoke hearts
Anything spicy. Problem is, it never is.
What the rest of the planet considers spicy, I would eat for breakfast. While still on a tracheotomy. Because of my appendectomy.
Veggies:Artichokes, Asparagus, or Avocado
Meat: Scallops, Ahi Tuna, Crab, Shrimp, or Lobster
What ever dish best combines these will get me to order it. Also the higher the carcass count the better. So Artichoke hearts with Crab, shrimp and scallops topped with bacon and avocado would be really quite awesome.
Cheese curds made that day. I’ve never found that on a menu, but I would order it.
Foie gras
Squab
Shrimp
Oysters
Fresh handmade pasta
White anchovies
Anything I’ve never experienced (getting to be a very rare occurrence, though).
Whole Grilled Fish
Ceviche
Tofu.
Hot peppers.
You can buy them at the Tillamook Cheese Factory. In bags. Large bags. They squeek when you bite them.
