I have never drank a martini.

Crabs! I've never had them😉

Depending on where you live, delivered pizza might be best
avoided. It had come to my attention at some point that there
are people in the midwest who think domioes is pizza, and good
pizza at that. Just sayin.

Its not just the midwest...

Can't speak for the martini, what are they, gin? I hate gin.

My list of nottobemissed would not be very sophisticated, it'll
be interesting to see what people come up with.

A meal at Flower Drum in Melbourne would suit me as a last repast!

Soooooooo? Are we gonna start listing favorites or not?! LOL

I won't list a 100 but two of my nottobemissed would be:

Artichokes w/Bearnaise Sauce

Hmmm... actually, type the above 100 times and it could be my top 100 ! LOL
Below is how I make the sauce to go with the artichokes. You can prepare
the artichokes a multitude of times but I usually boil mine with lemon
slices...

Bearnaise Sauce

2 TBSP Red Wine Vinegar
1 1/2 tsp chopped Green Onion
1 1/2 tsp Tarragon
1/8 tsp cracked Black Pepper
4 Egg yolks
3/4 cup Butter, softened
1 TBSP Parsley

1. In top of a double-boiler (d-b), combine first 4 ingredients. Over high
heat, heat to boiling. Boil until vinegar is reduced in half.

2. Place top of d-b unit over bottom unit with hot, not boiling, water. Add
yolks, and cook, beating constantly with whisk until slightly thickened.

3. Add butter, about 2 TBSP at a time, beating constantly with whisk, until
butter is melted and mixture is thickened. Stir in parsley.

Hmmm... actually, type the above 100 times and it could be my top 100 ! LOL

Homemade Yeast rolls

Homemade Yeast rolls

7 1/2 oz warm water
3 1/2 - 4 cups all purpose flour
3 1/2 TBSP sugar
3/4 tsp salt
3 TBSP butter
2 TBSP powdered coffee creamer
2 tsp instant dry yeast

Mix and let rise - punch down and place in the fridge overnight. Shape as
desired, let rise, brush with butter before and immediately after baking.
Oh my stars!!!!!

Yikes. That's okay, I see their cars once in a while even around
here. Only a couple good places around here, too. Surprised
me when I moved down here. Still you can easily beat the chain
pizzas without breaking a sweat, come on.

Yep - that really should be on the list! So far, I haven't found a
preparation of them yet that I didn't like! Steamed w/butter, deviled, as a
salad, cakes.... yummmm!!

I don't know about you, but when I'm old enough that I don't have much
to worry about, I think I'll try some "risky" foods that I've stayed
away from when I was younger. Fugu (pufferfish) was the first to come to
mind.

Taco Bell. By the time I finished that, I'd welcome death with open arms.

In no particular order:

1. A serrano ham sandwich on a warm Spanish afternoon.

2. Fresh fiddleheads

3. Ragoût de boulettes (a French-Canadian version of fricadelles)

4. Poutine along Highway 20 at a rest stop near Joly, Québec

5. A short espresso with a Crodo chinotto chaser

6. A good Alsatian choucroute

7. Méchoui

8. Red chicken curry at the Royal Thai in Ottawa

9. A plain butter [censored] (no raisins or nuts)

10. Bread pudding the way my mother made it (recipe posted
previously) with clear maple syrup

11. Strong coffee

12. A peanut butter sandwich with banana slices

13. A tall glass of milk from Québec

It's all I have time for now. I'll try to add more later.

Ok--here are my meals/foods:

1) Soft shelled crab sandwiches (crabs just floured and pan fried in
olive oil)
2) Big Mac and fries (the ultimate in pure trash food)
3) Fried chicken with mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans cooked with
bacon
4) Chicken Cordon Bleu
5) Chess pie (homemade crust only)
6) Key-lime pie (homemade crust, and none of that bright green [censored]
for the filling)
7) My mother's apple pie (she makes the best crust I've ever tasted)
8) Open face hot turkey sandwich with fries and turkey gravy over all
9) An honest to god deep dish pizza that you have to eat with a knife
and fork (go to Chicago for this)
10) Lobster
11) Shrimp cocktail
12) Chocolate eclairs!!
13) Fish and chips
14) Pot roast dinner (carrots, potatoes, peas, chuck roast, onion with
the roast broth over all)

Oh, Rosie, years ago I stayed a few days in Riva del Garda; one of my
favorite holidays. I wish I'd known about this. We met a couple who were
'doing the Lakes' that year. I've thought about a holiday there for years,
but will never get there again I'm sure. Just glad I got there once. Thanks
for a trip down memory lane.

Do you mean foods you have never eaten but want to try before you die?
If so, I can't think of any. If not, I would want my final meal to be
lobster with drawn butter. Oh and you aren't missing anything with the
martini. An inlaw made one for me years ago, likely because they knew
DH was in another room and they could get a reaction. I was attracted
to the fancy glass and the olive. Well I have to tell you it smelled
and tasted like hair tonic AND coming out the nose burned like heck! DH
arrived just in time to see the results. I still don't know if his
tears were from laughing or crying. Those darn in laws are always
pulling stunts like that!

Be very careful when criticizing the martini around here... trust me
on that one.

Many (myself included) find it's flavor to be unique, exquisite,
complex yet simple- not a taste for everyone but those who enjoy them,
enjoy them immensely. Kev
