five things to eat before you die

Melissa at The Traveler's Lunchbox asked food bloggers to post a "top five" list of foods to eat before you die. Frankly, I always hate being asked "what's your favorite ______?" I can't pin down a favorite anything. It's highly dependant upon my mood, the weather, or what I had for breakfast. That being said, I attempted to construct a list that captured my gustatory values.

I have already eaten these things. If you haven't tried them, run to wherever you can so that you, too, can partake in these most wonderful foods.

Here the list:

1. ceviche (the real stuff -- from Ecuador or Peru)
2. freshly made sweetened fried dough (doughnuts, beignets, zeppole, etc.)
3. any fruit that you can pick yourself and eat on the spot
4. Edo-style sushi
5. homemade tagliatelle
