The list of five


Melissa of The Traveler’s Lunchbox has started a meme (even if she doesn’t actually call it a meme but I don't know any better word for it) about 5 things to eat before you die or just for the joy of eating. I have been seeing it all over the place and now I have been tagged by Jen of Milk & Cookies so I better do my duty and tell you about my five favourite food things. There are so many other things I would like to include but yesterday my choice fell on these five:

Mussels from Læsø in Denmark. I spent every summer from my early childhood until late teens on a small Danish island called Læsø. It’s a small island built on sand with snow white beaches and very little night life. My father and I sometimes went mussel picking on the sand reefs and then we went home and steamed them. I havn’t had such wonderful fat and juicy mussels ever since but that might depend on the fact that I became allergic of them in my mid twenties…

Pizza. Nothing beats a real genuine pizza Margherita made with fresh tomatoes and fresh mozzarella. That is pure satisfaction.

White truffles is a must on my list. I have learnt to lovelovelove the smell and the taste and I’m already looking forward to the Italian truffle season!

While I am at it, there’s another so called luxury food item or rather wine item that I really love and that’s champagne. I’m not fussy, I love them all (almost) so I wont mention any particular brand.

And to finish with something sweet, I just have to include the Swedish sweet Dajm. I hardly ever eat it because if I start I just want more and more, more and more.

I think the best thing about this meme is that Melissa is making a roundup of all the answers on her blog and I recommend you to take a look, I have discovered several new interesting things to eat and quite a few food blogs! So to make the list grow further I tag, hoping that they haven't been tagged already because this is spreading fast:
Laura of Cucina Testa Rossa
Susan of Fatfree Vegan Kitchen
Angelika of The Flying Apple
Tana of I Heart Farms
Stephen of Stephen Cooks

I have become the a bad blogger because I either forget or I don't have the time to answer your comments but that does not mean that I don't read or appreciate them, quite the opposite really. The generosity that shines through what you write and the fact that you take the time to comment on my posts makes my blogging worthwhile so Thank You for what you do for me and please keep on commenting!
