All the most interesting cheeses
Full Irish breakfast. Every single day until a heart attack gets me.
What’s in a full Irish breakfast?
The typical ingredients are bacon, sausages, eggs, black pudding, baked beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, toast, fried bread and a beverage such as coffee or tea. Hash browns are a common contemporary but non-traditional inclusion.
My heart hurts reading this list, I love it!
There’s my favourite chipper in Greystones, Ireland. They sell the Tasty Roll. Probably instant cancer, but I don’t give a damn. I grab one every time I’m down there.
It’s a baguette filled with chips (fries), bacon, garlic sauce and molten cheese.
that sounds amazing
Ah right, yeah that all sounds very much like something I can get behind!! Thank you
Nah, Ulster fry for me.
Why not both? I love Ulster fry, but thanks to Brexit my plans moving to Belfast got cut short.
Ones prepared by my personal shopper and chef, because I want to eat healthy but have more time for creative and outdoor activities.
High quality chocolate. Most of the stuff in the local grocery stores is cheap, waxy and awful. There’s a place within reasonable distance with the good stuff, but it’s hella expensive.
Aldi and Lidl have good German and Belgian chocolates pretty cheaply. Like $2 for a big bar.
Thanks! That is good to know. We have some of those around. Not on our usual rotation (a little out of the way) but this could change that. I know they have pretty good produce in there, because I have used them for that on occasion.
More sushi.

Beef jerky and swordfish for me.
Swordfish? Interesting… What’s that like?
Pointy!
No but really it’s got a deep flavor with some metallic tone, like tuna? It’s fantastic as a big “steak”.
Swordfish is a great answer!
It’s been too long since I had that! Got scared off due to all the mercury levels, and now I forget about how great it tastes, mercury be damned!
I’m more of a Modelo guy but I like your style
Actually healthy and nutritious and delicious breakfast food. I can have two of the three for reasonable prices if I make it myself. But I want all three at max level, and I don’t want to have to make it myself from scratch.
Sushi all the time every day every hour every minute.
Eh, might have steaks more than once a year or so. Still wouldn’t be a regular thing.
Would likely increase the usage of aged balsamic to more than just a very dribble more and then.
Would definitely cook with better bourbons when I use it. Not that it really makes a huge difference in most cases, but I usually have a little bit while cooking when I do, so it would be nice lol.
Nice restaurant food, but I guess that doesn’t count.
Lychees. The funny thing is that I can afford lychees, but I always think “Why buy them when these perfectly good grapes cost three times less?”
Lychees are fine, but rambutan are the GOAT. I’m not sure where you live, but they’re super hard to find in the US in good quality.
Rambutan have a fishy taste to me. But longan might give the lychee a run for their money 😋
That’s fascinating. I never got that taste from rambutan. We actually had a tree in our yard, along with papaya, and I would just go pick them fresh before school.
You ever had snake fruit? Now that’s an acquired taste!
(…also, mangosteen is the GOAT) 🐐
Hmmmm mangosteen is fine, but not quite as good to me.
They also taste fishy to me, but much more acidic 😆
And I haven’t yet mastered getting into them; it’s not unusual for me to injure myself when I try🫣
I file them under “not worth the effort” 😮💨
All the fanciest Dijon ketchups.
Wines, cheeses, cold cuts, mutton, salmon, porcino. I’d be also experimenting different stuff here and there (casu marzu, maple syrup, etc.)
Fancy Cheese
Really good wine, really good whiskey
Raspberries
Restaurant foods, would eat out more if funds were ample for it.
(I do love fish and other seafood but worry about overfishing, wouldn’t buy more. Also like beef but wouldn’t buy more of that either, don’t want it often)
Impressive how much jerky is showing up on here, but that was one of my first thoughts too. I actually got a monthly jerky subscription for Christmas, and the packs are kinda little, but it’s fun getting new flavors every month.
I’ll throw caviar out there. We tried a wide range of it for my gf’s birthday twice, and there is good stuff at every price range. Even the cheap whitefish stuff was good.
The Bowfin and Spoonbill was our best bang for the buck both times. If you want a splurge without going bust, that’s my recommendation. Got it from Browne Trading if anyone is interested.
It’s great right off the spoon, on a chip, on a blini, or as a garnish on something else. If you like salty, fishy, umami you deserve to try it.
I’d probably buy hummus, buy a bunch of new stuff I’ve never tried, maybe buy some red meat a bit more often than once a month or so.
I also usually don’t buy orange juice for cost reasons so probably that too.
I don’t know where in the world you are but the Publix near my house always has hummus tubs BOGO and that makes it extremely affordable. I just have to be careful not to look at much else cuz everything else is way too expensive for my blood.
I live in a pretty HCOL area and buy food pretty conservatively. I can look into the BOGO tubs of it though! Mostly I feel its a snack type food and that’s where I pinch on foods. The snack, desserts etc.
If I could find it cheap I could probably look into what meals I could have with hummus
Hummus is pretty cheap if you make it yourself.
Chickpeas, oil, tahini or peanut butter, garlic, lemon juice and some sort of hot pepper powder if you like it spicy.
You know, I never actually considered making it myself, I figured I’d need some device or masher etc. To make it, but I’ll look into it!
