    I’m British and grew up in the 90s, so I’m therefore conditioned to think Ferrero Rocher is the single fanciest thing on the fucking planet despite knowing full well there’s no way that is the case.

    Gimme that pyramid of foil-wrapped nutty chocolate spheres and I will be a king

    Eating a whole rotisserie chicken with my bare hands while drinking wine out of a goblet and tossing the bones onto the floor for the dogs to fight over as entertainment.

    That sounds delicious not gonna lie.

    I avoid meat now due to its links to climate change so I’ve been on a journey food wise. Dal Makhani is just so decadent it made me so glad that I was born period. It’s a black lentil curry that is so fucking good i will devour a bowl in no time flat

      There was a place near me in college that would make the special black lentil dal only on Thursdays for lunch, but it was always so good. I don’t know if it’s the same thing, but those lentils certainly made me realize I could be vegetarian.

    Expensive chocolate, cheese platters and when I order fish-based meals from Gousto (ordered a creamy linguini with monkfish medalions once and felt like a queen)

    Steak and some kind of berries-- strawberry, blueberry, kiwiw, whatever. Something about tossing a raspberry or something in your mouth between bites of filet mignon is just so damn aristocratic

    I like to go to Trader Joes and buy about a dozen cheeses and make a Cheeses of The World board. Apricot jam and honey add extra fanciness.

    OP, my adult daughter came to my house one day and I offered her filtered chilled water and fresh baked sourdough with butter - fanciest bread and water ever. Bread to me is magic, I make sourdough only so it’s literally made of flour, water, a little salt and time. How does it get such flavor?

    Anything with courses feels so luxurious to me. We don’t eat that way in my house because we (mostly I myself) cook for ourselves and want to sit together to eat. Getting served small plates in succession is so labor intensive and also a nice way to eat. We did this at a small fancy restaurant once - we ordered several things and the waiter served them one at a time, for us to share. Best ever way to eat as a couple or small group.

    Salmon, pistachios, cashews, fresh berries. Still wild to me that I can afford them as an adult.
