  1. If you could afford any food in the world, and money was no object what
    would it be?

    Just going to the store to do a food shopping. Craving something, but not
    sure what.

    With me, the money wouldn't be spent on the food per se, as much as on the
    skilled Chef doing the preparation. It hasn't been often that I've had a
    perfectly prepared anything in restaurants, and also, my tastes are
    relatively simple. I would like a perfectly grilled filet mignon, perfectly
    steamed asparagus, and a salad of mixed greens with an olive oil, lemon and
    pepper dressing on it, that the salad is just lightly tossed in, not
    drowning in.
    Very simple as you can see, but probably expensive to find someone who can
    do it to my liking.
    Great topic question, by the way!

    Probably a Wendy's "Junior Bacon Cheeseburger", assuming I get to keep
    the change.

    Lobster tails, brushed with butter and broiled, served with drawn
    butter.

    and a broiled lobster tail on the side. Perfection.

    Oysters, a selection of my favorites and as many as I want of each. And
    someone to stand there and shuck 'em as I ate.

    But then there's lobster ...

    Aged, rock-salt roasted prime rib with whipped cream horseradish, creamed
    spinach, baked potato and Yorkshire pudding. A nice port and cheese for
    dessert.

    Italian white truffles
    Extremely good basalmic vinegar
    The best American sturgeon caviar

    There are plenty of lower-priced foods equally as good as these,
    but they stand out as being either expensive or hard to obtain
    or both.

    He's a person who enjoys disturbing and/or upsetting others. In newsgroups
    the term usually used is "troll."

    I make the distinction between those who actually TRY to upset others (the
    true troll, for me) and those who just naturally do upset others (regular
    people who tend to upset others).

    I would say that Thorson was trying, but, you know, intent is so hard to
    prove.

    I hope you're joking given the protected nature of this endangered
    songbird species.

    It's not endangered at all. Eat all you want,
    they'll make more!

    Lobster, fresh shrimp, beef tenderloin, quality steaks, artisan
    cheeses and breads, etc. But my budget supplies shrimp only when on
    sale, cheaper cuts of beef, packaged cheeses and store baked breads.

    Lobster, lobster, lobster, lobster and lobster.
    And maybe some shrimp for variety.
