currently jamming on this toasted bread with butter. someone else woke up to work baker’s hours at walmart to bake this loaf, then i bought it, then toasted it, then added butter. a veritable feast
When I make my steak sandwiches.
I use fucking rib eye for a steak sandwich, fresh sourdough, cracked pepper infused aged cheddar, red onion jam… its absolutely glorious
Red onion jam sounds intruiging
Its stupid easy to make and sounds fancy as hell. You basically take a metric assload of thinly sliced red onions (use a mandolin. More consistent = more better) and cook them over a low heat stirring pretty much constantly until they are the consistency of jam. Most recipes call for red wine vinegar, or red wine and balsamic vinegar but I hate wine and balsamic takes over IMO so I use a little maple syrup and apple cider vinegar. If you season it correctly its amazing.
Problem is that its a bit of a time sink to make so you wind up making huge batches because its the exact same amount of work.
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.
Quality chocolate!
Also the opera cream latte at the kidd!
Grilled cheese in a grilled cheese sandwich because it is in bread.
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
I feel the same way about Viennetta ice cream.
I used to think that, but I somehow felt more poor when I actually ate it.
Not grey poupon?
That ambassador, eh? He’s spoiling you.
Damn that’s so true. It’s not even that expensive of a candy and you can buy it everywhere yet still it feels like a luxurious rarity. I guess that bastard Ferrero knew what he was doing.
But ser! Wizz theez Rocher, you arr spoiling us!
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
Those giant turkey legs they sell at ren faires.
To a lesser degree, juicy cherry tomatoes make me feel like Denethor. Juice dribbling down my chin “wrong kid died…”
Ren Faire turkey legs were SO GOOD. I miss them, and I miss the full-contact jousting knights, who were all certifiable but very fun people.
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.

We all love to party - especially you, hedonism-bot.
I apologize for nothing!
I can’t help but hold the bunch over my mouth and pluck one off from beneath.
They still make them! I bought one a few years ago for nostalgia, it was pretty good
Sashimi and prime barbecue cuts.
Grapes
Single origin chocolate (not even very expensive, but only royalty had easy access to cocoa until recently and they didn’t make chocolate the way we do now).
Nice citrus fruit.
Good quality Fourme d’Ambert, Cantal or Sbrinz
A juicy mango.
