I never had a PBJ until I was an adult and they are so good. I would eat peanut butter sandwiches as a kid all the time but never with jelly (my mom doesn't like it so we never had it in the house). Cream cheese and jelly sandwiches are really good too.

Same thing with orange soda. I never drank it as a kid but as an adult, I love it. Its my afternoon pick-me-up.

Not one particular food, but I'd love to go on about a 10 city world tour of eating street food/casual walk-in places. Singapore, Barcelona, NYC, Saigon, Paris, Tokoyo, etc. A week in each city, no fine dining or reservations.

You should because it is soooooo good!!!!

I watched Anthony Bourdain(sp?) in No Reservations when he was in China I think, he ate these weird octopus ball fritter things that looked so good but I thought I would never get the chance to eat them. Last weekend they had them at a sushi place I was at, go them and they were so good! Tako Yaki I think they were called


Yes, tako-yaki. They are Japanese. So good. I ate them all the time at street fairs when I lived in Japan. My roommates and I even bought a tako-yaki maker.

My husband and I still howl about the day his gay great uncle, who was also a chef, made tomato aspic and we choked it down as politely as possible. All I could think of was tomato soup jello. Yuck.

Why does it look gross? Fast foods a lot of times look gross, but not a piece of meat. To cook it, wash it, boil with onion, carrot, celery, salt and herbs for about 3 hours. Discard broth, take off the skin, and enjoy the most tender meat ever!


Hmmm! Yummy. Haven't eaten tongue in a while. Will get me some this weekend.


They are not easy to find. Don't buy them in the international food markets (lottos, and etc). Look in Wegmans, if they don't have it, place an order in a meat department. After you boil it, you will see some fat at the base of the tounge, just cut it off. We eat it with salads, on open faced sandwiches, with mashed potates, couscous, roasted veggies and etc.


Why not an international market? I get it at Great Wall all the time.

I had a bad luck with any meat from those stores. I was growing eating home grown meats. My parents had some family in a village that was supplying us for many years (another country). So I have something to compare with. Anyway, while cooking that meat had a wrong smell and taste (I assume due to animals' diet and whatever else poor things were given), or when making a broth, foam was always very dark, unhealthy looking. I was never satisfied with the outcome. I now buy meats and poultry at Whole Foods, and tounges in Wegmans. I better eat less, but good quality.
