A perfectly aged, perfectly roasted rib roast. Like this one.

That rib roast photograph makes the earth move for me, Ellen! And the poodle in your avatar looks as if it is doing much the same for him/her! :laugh:

Those have to be my top five.

My freshly baked bread with butter. Anybody's apple pie. Rare steak with demi-glace and mushrooms.

I'm a canning clean freak because there's no sorry large enough to cover the, "Oops! I gave you botulism" regrets.

Chocolate. Dark, balanced chocolate, the kind you breathe in deeply before partaking, the kind that you nibble and let melt on your tongue, letting the cocoa flavor slowly fill your mouth. If you want to gild the lily, nibble some of the chocolate and take a sip of hot, rich coffee, letting the heat of the coffee turn the chocolate to liquid and release the layers of flavor.

I have told my doctor that if it's ever a choice of having to give up chocolate or die, well, it's been a nice life.

Can one have a culinary orgasm?

Oh most definitely.

That might explain my weight problem. :laugh:

Have I mentioned that I spend a good hour six days a week praying to the gods of Pilates and the stairmaster? Except, that is, for this past winter, when I discovered that if I do nothing but eat, drink and sit on my ass for six months, I um...gain ten pounds. This didn't happen in college! :angry::angry:

I would just like to add that the ricotta gnocchi Sam made tonight, sitting as they were under short ribs and over sauce and interspersed with pearl onions, sent me right over the edge again. There's just something about the rich lightness of ricotta gnocchi with slow-cooked beef.

K

edited because I screwed up my own goddamned initial. This is what happens when I have a cocktail before dinner, wine WITH dinner, and food of the gods, to boot.

Edited AGAIN because oh, oh, oh, I just read the post above mine...oh, lord, raw Kumamoto oysters with cucumber/black pepper granita. OHHHH man.

and there is just nothing to equal a fabulous pulled-pork sandwich that has been smoked for HOURS.

Ok, I need to stop this now.

The predictable answer: perfectly seared foie gras, melting on my tongue. My eyes roll back in my head and I have been known to (gently) dance in my seat.

Or mi cuit foie gras, straight from the producer in the Dordogne. (Swoon....)

The middle slice of a warm fresh baked bread loaf (or fresh, hot, Montreal bagel) with Kraft crunchy peanut butter, salted butter and a slice of strong cheese. With a cold glass of milk.

mmmm.... that gets me everytime.

Close seconds:

Expensive dark chocolate

BBQ chicken that has been long marinated and has that crispy skin on top

Sliced warm garden tomato with a little fleur du sel and a great bottle of wine

the best part about mouthgasms for me is that I'm ready for another in less than 5 minutes...heehee...

Way, way too many to list, but I guess lobster drenched

in sweet butter and garlic would be tops.

And I lately described Neil's gingerbread pudding as an

oral orgasm, so I guess that counts.

So much food, so little time....

PS - Bergerka, re your photo, are you a fan of Maureen Dowd,

or ARE you Maureen Dowd??

foie gras with black truffles

"There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!" Terry Pratchett

- Griesbrei.

I know some German but don't think I've had this.

My best guess is a farina (Cream of Wheat) pudding?

Is this close?

Do you have a recipe that you like to make?

Thanks,

The pastries in Little Havana filled with guava and cream cheese along with coffe cubano. Give me that and I'm a happy camper.

It, depending on season, is either bacon (or another smoked fatty pork product) or sweet corn.

Ah, sweet corn. 'Tis but a couple of months from being here. I salivate.
