My Food "To Do" List

Whole Roasted Suckling PigWhat can I say? I’m a meatatarian. They say the skin is super crispy and the meat super moist. I am there … with some roasted potatoes and carrots.
Roasted Leg of Lamb
I’ve never had lamb but I would really like to try it.

White Asparagus I love the green I might love the white more.


Bon Bo Hue A classic Vietnamese spicy beef noodle soup with some unusual vegetation containing but not limited to lemongrass, dried chiles, mint leaves, bean sprouts, lime wedges, shredded banana blossoms and rau muong (a native aquatic tropical plant). Sounds interesting and delicious. Think Ramen but more classy.

Kobe Beef The best stuff on Earth from what I hear. Melts in your mouth … like all steak should only better.

Louche Absinthe“Traditionally, absinthe is poured into a glass over which a specially designed slotted spoon is placed. A sugar cube is then deposited in the bowl of the spoon. Ice-cold water is poured or dripped over the sugar until the drink is diluted to a ratio between 3:1 and 5:1. During this process, the components that are not soluble in water, mainly those from anise, fennel, and star anise, come out of solution and cloud the drink. The resulting milky opalescence is called the louche. The addition of water is important, causing the herbs to "blossom" and bringing out many of the flavors originally overpowered by the anise.” http://foodproof.com/blogs/view/post/100-things-you-should-eat-before-248

Caviar and BlinisI want the traditional with creme fraiche; the works.


Haggis
Gnarly lookin' fellow and the traditional Scottish delicacy. You gotta try it at least once.
Foie Gras
I’ll have to eat it on a non-diet day since it’s basically nothing but fat but I’ll counter act it by drinking some read whine and smoking a fine French cigarette. They say they are some of the healthiest people on Earth so why not?
Chrysanthemum Tea
Chhyrsanthemum is my birth flower so I feel that I must indulge my ego a bit. Plus, it's really pretty!
