Meme from Columbus Foodie
I read a great blog written by a local “Columbus-ite,” and she just posted a meme about the 8 foods she won’t give up, originally found on Slashfood. Here are mine, and I longed for them every day in Morocco.
-
Mountain Dew - ok, not a food, but nectar of the gods nonetheless.
Butter - properly salted, preferably sea salt, mmm.
Cheese - Except for blue cheese - I had it once on a flight to France, and could never eat it again. But manchego, or sharp cheddar, oh joy.
Indian food - Fine, not a single ingredient food, but I could live on Indian food and never tire of it.
Sushi - The best sushi I ever had was in Rabat, isn’t that crazy?
Fried Potatoes - Especially when my Dad makes them. You practically have to stab my hand with a fork to get any for yourself.
Crab Legs - I once ate so many for an “All-You-Can-Eat” crab leg special, that the manager had to come out to tell me that they ran out, and he comped my meal and those of my 3 friends. Woo! No, the friends weren’t helping me eat them.
Chocolate - I like Hershey’s chocolate, being so close to PA and all.
Strong Irish Tea - Don’t speak to me before 10am unless I’ve had a cuppa.
Oops, that was 9. I have a lot of favorites. What have I given up, for the most part? First, alcohol - I have a margarita once in a blue moon. Second, pork - because I sort of like piggies. They’re really intelligent and affectionate, and I feel bad using them in my Scotch Eggs recipe.

Now you really made me laugh with the Moutain Dew. Don’t you just think that name is SO FUNNY. I must agree on the crab legs, sushi (and which restaurant was it), fried potatoes and chocolate. But I can’t give up my glass of wine (and some of the Moroccan wines are fantastic). And as for the piggy, I understand your sentiments.

Make it Diet Mountain Dew & toss in a (Diet) Dr. Pepper to the mix …. the dearth of Indian food here depresses me. I don’t think I can live without pesto.
Great list!
