I felt this way after I went down to Florida and there was a huge bowl of oranges and grapefruits at the breakfast table. I almost didn't try any, I'm not a big orange guy plus they were tiny, looked like poo poo, all mottled and bruised and... THEY TASTED LIKE GOD'S OWN CITRUS RESERVE. I hate oranges and grapefruits even more now.

This is by far the most  opinion that I have, but having a pineapple in Hawaii will blow your mind

Mangoes in Australia. When I first moved here the smell of all the fresh mangoes in all the supermarkets and greengrocers was overwhelming but now the smell of them just means summer is here and I love it. Also cherries come into season here at Christmas and everyone just gorges themselves on cherries while they are here and it's wonderful.

At LEAST half the calories my wife and I ate in Costa Rica was fresh fruit. The first bit of a chilled pineapple at the top of a hill after a long hike is still in my top 3 favorite bites of food ever.

They had some kind of cheese one that actually made me go back and order another immediately after finishing the first 2. Shortrib in Tokyo, probably wagyu but we couldn't read the menu and they didn't speak English 3. First time I ever had proper Ramen, at a place in Vancouver BC that wasn't crazy high end or special but did it very well

VelociBacon posted:My 3 Ooh top 3s 1. In college on a whim I fried some garlic in oil and then used it in my tuna salad in lieu of mayonnaise. No joke the most delicious thing I’d ever eaten. Was super mad at my then-boyfriend for not understanding the magnitude of the experience I’d just had 2. Santouka Ramen 3. Got drunk in Healdsburg (shocker) and decided to order raw oysters for the first time ever. Ate a lot of oysters. Spent way too much money. No regrets. Had to dry out on a bench in the plaza before heading back to where I was staying

Double post. I hated grapefruit with my very soul until my local CSA sent two in my box and I went “gently caress it, it’s worth a try at least” after that week it was the first thing I’d eat in the box. I should resub to that CSA.

Hot drat! Santouka Ramen in Vancouver was also my first real, proper good ramen, and easily makes my top 10, maybe top 5. First bite was with the chashu pork cheek, so much better than belly. #1 First bite of Franklin brisket. Outside edge of the point as a taster at the end of a 6 hour wait in the cold. Ended up doing the line 6 more times, every time as good as the last. Just unbelievably good. #2 The aforementioned pineapple in Costa Rica. #3 A pork tenderloin crusted with horseradish at The French Room in Dallas. Probably the thing that really got me into food. We went there for my 11th(?) birthday. I didn’t know that food could be that good. Bonus #4 because it’s from the same visit to The French Room. The palate cleanser was a tiny scoop of passion fruit sorbet. So tangy, so sweet, so clean, just magical.

In no particular order: - Dim sum in an unknown restaurant in Chinatown, NYC. I was 14 or so and absolutely floored, as was my mom who was traveling with me. Earliest truly memorable meal for me. - Tasting menu at Feast in Houston, for a couple reasons. Most memorable specific dish was the Welsh rarebit, but the whole thing was memorably as the place specialized in old school European nose-to-tail cooking. The restaurant was only a few weeks old when we did this, however, and they hadn't really organized their tasting menu, so instead they kept sending out dishes from their main menu. Cassoulet, beef tongue, fish pie, cioppino, Welsh rarebit, etc. All full size portions. I think we made it through seven courses before throwing in the towel, I've never been so full in my life. - Döner kebab in Berlin after a very long night of drinking while visiting an old friend. The döner itself was fantastic, it was more the total experience - Berlin is a fantastic city with such a unique history that appealed to me, and that was an incredible way to experience it.

I've been lucky enough to eat many memorable meals, Coniglio alla Cacciatore in Rome, Venison in Scotland, everything I ate in Japan, but my favourite food realisation was on our first holiday in Asia (to Bali) and seeing that you could eat fried rice and noodles and curries for breakfast. I don't like a lot of traditional western breakfast foods, especially cereal, so this was a revelation. You can eat whatever the hell you want for breakfast!

Guildenstern Mother posted:The internet may tell you you can do it with a broiler but they're just trying to get you to ruin your grapefruit out of what I have to assume is spite the anti-grapefruit conspiracy is unfortunately super real so i'm trying to think of my three favourite bites but it's hard to choose, i'll put just about anything in my mouth and like it. but if i had to: 3) the lamb burger with pickled onions, aioli, and arugula on brioche at Le Bouillon in the Old Market district of Omaha, NE. it felt a little weird to order a burger at a relatively upscale French restaurant, but the joke was on me because it was the most perfect burger i've ever eaten in my whole life. the cassoulet my partner ordered was good too! but my dinner was better. sorry, sweetie. 2) the grilled romaine caesar salad i had at a get-together at the now-defunct Skinny Legs & Cowgirls in Edmonton, AB. we had a lot of good food there but for some reason what stuck with me the most was the simple deliciousness of grilling a big wedge of lettuce until it was charred and sweet and topping it with caesar dressing and bacon. we really need to get a grill. 1) mom's spice cake with peanut butter frosting. it sounds weird but in my opinion it's the absolute pinnacle of midwestern poverty cuisine. my mom picked it up from my grandma's great depression-era repertoire and she made it for my sister and i on all our special occasions. i've adapted the flavour profile to everything from smoothies to oatmeal to cookies but putting it all in a moist cake with excessive amounts of icing is still the best way to do it. it's always gonna taste like birthdays to me. give it a try sometime, it might become your birthday favourite too.

Top three bites: #1, the first truly ready tomato off the vine every summer (this one keeps repeating!) #2, my very first legit pho when I was like 20 years old - the combination of the broth, the basil, the magical essence of it all. #3, oysters right off the boat in Oban, Scotland with a little seawater still on the shell.

What are some good Halloween Party savory items? I'm not looking for hot dogs that look like severed fingers or Jell-O molds that look like spilt brains. There is this recipe from the Fat Rice cookbook for Diabo Curry that strikes me as a Spicy Vindaloo/Chili/Curry fusion. That fits the bill.

(the Full English is a continuation of this tradition, though as far as I'm aware its current form only goes back to the 1920s or so)

Not sure where you're from, but ham or steak and eggs have always been a breakfast staple, right along with grits and pancakes and sausage. Cereal is for children. I prefer a bowl of rice with an egg and soy sauce if I have time, but most mornings it's just a peanut butter sandwich as I walk out the door.
