If there were any food or beverage you could have faxed or emailed to you, from anywhere in the world, right now, what would it be and from where?

Right now? I could do with some Moonshine that a friend of mine on the East Coast brews. I need to get wasted, and fast.

Yeah, I meant right now. What do you crave that makes you sorry foods and beverages can’t be faxed or emailed. Two of my great uncles were West Virginia moonshiners. I never got sample their wares but I do have my uncle Ona’s recipe for grape juice wine, stronger than you might think, and it is a part of my heritage.

I’m pretty simple. I’ll take some deep-fried Wisconsin cheese curds, thank you.

Maybe some fresh San Fran sourdough to go along with it.

Escargot and truffle penne.

From LaTour’s in Colorado.

Eggplant parmesian with pasta (no sauce on the pasta please) on the side from Fresh Basil’s on Lexington and 56th in NYC.

I would like, at the very least, my friends Laura and Diane, a plate of artery clogging cheese fries, a pitcher of Shiner Bock and a picnic table on the patio faxed to me from the Crown and Anchor, in Austin, TX, right now, if you don’t mind, thank you!

Oh, and mounds cake from Too Jay’s in FL. Thanks.

@JLeslie I get that someone might make the best eggplant parmesian you ever had, but what exactly is a “mounds cake” from Too Jay’s in Fl.? And am I going to have to make sure that it’s served at your 40K party along with a case of Mexican Coke?

@lillycoyote Like the candy bar. Chocolate and coconut. It is fantastic, and yes please bring it to the party. They don’t ship, believe me I have asked. I have carried those cakes home with me on a plane. So, you will have to take a trip to FL to bring me one. Not to worry they are in several locations, you can extend your trip to also include Disney or the Boca Raton Beach Resort. Call ahead, they don’t always have one in the restaurant. Sometimes they tell me they no longer carry it, and then I come back and there it is again. I can’t figure it out.

@JLeslie Well, thank goodness I have about a 9000 lurve buffer to work your mounds cake into one of my my future trips to Disneyworld or Boca Raton.

@lillycoyote Here are all the locations.

Souvlaki from a street vendor in Athens, Greece. (a sandwich in thick flat bread with lamb, a red sauce and thick yogurt.) But don’t have them send it until tomorrow, I’m still stuffed from supper.

A bottle of ginger beer and a good size chunk of proper cheddar cheese…both from England.

Crawfish ettoufee
Shrimp Gumbo
Shrimp PoBoy
Jambalaya
Fried crawfish
Oyster PoBoy

All from New Orleans

A proper Reuben from someplace in NYC that knows how to make them

@JLeslie I like the Too Jay’s menu…:)

I miss Tasty Kakes, Lebanon Bologna, and Utz’s or Snyder’s Pretzels. Also American hot dogs, what they call hotdogs here, I think are made of toxic waste. I would also order American bacon because all I have had since I arrived here is something that looks like what I called Canadian bacon.

I can’t think of anything else at the moment.

If you want my address so you can mail these things to me, just let me know, hehehe!!!

German beer, right from the keg, or fresh Guinness from Ireland.

Mt Rainier cherries from Washington state. Best cherries ever.

@plethora Bread is much better there than Noshville. Same Pastrami though, National Deli.

Migas enchiladas with caliente sauce from Trudy’s in Austin, TX.

A slab of tortilla de patatas from Spain :)

Just about anything from Au Lac Vegetarian Vietnamese Restaurant in Fountain Valley, CA.

They have the most marvelous soups I’ve ever tasted!

Fish tacos with guacamole, ceviche, and margaritas. Maybe I’m just craving a vacation.
