No... not butt or sidewalk. But what’s so good you eat them all and then snuffle sadly in the empty sack like a lost hedgehog? For me it's Fig Newtons - Only 10,000 calories per serving! :m: Peace.
Pepperidge Farm "Tahoe" cookies: macadamia nuts and real white chocolate chips. (The kind made with real cocoa butter.)
You Western bred proles have no clue how to eat. Tamarind pulp and baklava are insanely addictive as is talapia, when girlled in lemon pepper. Also strangely addictive is a spice known as chamoy- makes your gums itch just thinking about it. Russian bottled vodka, not the watered down joke of Smernoff as well - and white russians (spiked iwith soco) in particular, for softer palates. And last but not least, the Written Word. Just as addictive.
AH! Looky looky, what have we got here? Is it possible? Do I my eyes deceive me? A westerner who's actually tasted tamarind? Woman, you lie to me. Honest? Where did you get it? I've *never* come across an American who's tasted tamarind.
There would be two of us, then. Mom was D.O.D. and a world-traveler. Big in to curries and chutney. :m: Peace.
Those crunchy little cinnamon hearts they sell on valentines day. Each bite is like an orgasm. and 'mafleta'- a special dough, flattened out, fried like a tortilla, spread with some butter, drenched in honey, and then rolled up and folded at the corners. Each one can provide > 1000 calories. (Its a moroccan tradition at the end of passover)
I've had tamarind in Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, and recently puchased some at the local Asian market. They grew wild on the trees in Australia, but they were super tart. Bird fruit.
Fresh raspberries. Unfortunately it's classified as a noxious weed in Australia and as a result, they are sold at a ridiculous price. I still indulge myself from time to time. Mmmmm... I grew up eating fresh tamarind in the country of my birth. And then of course there was this compote they used to make with it where it would be stewed with sugar, salt and add some chilli. I feel my mouth watering just thinking about it. Shame in Australia you can't get it, fresh or cooked that way. Just the crappy packaged crap they call tamarind used for cooking. I looked to try and buy a tree once, but no nurseries could find it. Roman, if you know where you can find a nursery that stocks tamarind trees, let me know! I've looked everywhere for it for the last 15 years or so and half the people didn't know what it was, and the other half couldn't find it as a plant to sell. I've even tried every exotic fruit nursery I could find, and they couldn't get me a plant. I've stalked the Asian markets and only once did I find it fresh, but it was green. Was devastated actually.
