Three foods you can't live without

[helenjp]

Barolo, that's not fare, I scrolled all the way down here to type

"bread

cheese

apples"

and you'd darn well done it before me!"

Those are the things I find hard to do without in Japan. I think my husband's choices would be:

Pork

Pickles

Noodles

...and I suspect my kids are planning on deciding their future citizenship according to the quality of sausage available!

[BonVivant]

foie gras [the real thing from France]

sashimi

beers/wines

[howard88]

Oysters

Foie Gras

Duck

[little ms foodie]

Cheese

Pasta

Butter

[saskanuck]

This is hard!

Cheese

Pasta

Garden tomatoes

[Sencha]

I'm so tempted to say:

Plants

Animals

Water

Really, it's such a hard decision to make. Well, at least the question didn't say that we had to choose three things that we had to live soley on.

To be a bit more specific, someone's asking for trouble if they take these three things away from me:

Rice

Soybeans

Tea

Rice and soybeans can be enjoyed as is or made into many other products, alone or in combination.

And tea. Tea is just wonderful. Although, to be more descriptive, I really have a preference for Japanese and Chinese green teas. Black just doesn't suit me and oolong is occasional.

Rice

or maybe

eggs

bagels

avocados

this is hard.
