    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

    Eating a whole rotisserie chicken with my bare hands while drinking wine out of a goblet and tossing the bones onto the floor for the dogs to fight over as entertainment.

    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.

      Sounds like a delicious dish that overindulgence will ruin your day.

    Not so much the food itself, but the entire package made me feel like royalty…

    I was visiting Singapore last year for some work-related stuff. My coworkers were busy handling their respective areas, and I was mostly there for some related IT stuff that involved a lot of waiting.
    I’ve always liked sushi, so I decided that for once I should try eating it at what seemed like a decent sushi-place not far from the hotel - I had pretty much all day to myself. So I headed down there.
    For starters the place itself was amazing; It was small and cozy, with ne guy behind a counter chopping and preparing fish. The wall behind them was covered in knives of all sorts, manufactured by a childhood friend of the chefs. I was up front to the waitress about the fact that I wasn’t really a sushi connoisseur, but I generally liked Maki rolls, Nigiri, and I was looking for a nice and filling lunch. So she recommended this one item in the menu for me that consisted of a little bit of everything.

    The lunch ended up being more of a multi-course thing, and while I was eating one part, the chef was already preparing the next part. Sure, it was really good, but the attentiveness of the staff to give me a wonderful lunch added to it as well, explaining along the way what I was eating and what the actual Japanese name was (they were all Japanese, by the way).

    It was pricey, but not insanely so. The experience was well worth the cost.

    EDIT: Found the place: https://maps.app.goo.gl/8GoXqKNqgJ5bT7LZ9
    I highly recommend a visit if you ever get the chance.

    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

    Expensive chocolate, cheese platters and when I order fish-based meals from Gousto (ordered a creamy linguini with monkfish medalions once and felt like a queen)

    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

    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.
