Los Angeles, you can get some of the most tastiest Mexican food you can find. Tacos, Quesadillas, Tortas, Tamales... pilled high with refried, beans, ground beef and fresh veggies (inc. celery) cracking stuff. (not forgetting a nice Guacamole dip).
Baked Potatoes... hmm nice and fluffy with plenty of butter and melted cheese. Or doused in a hot spicy chilli.
Oysters with a dash of tobasco.. hmmm yum yum yummity yum.
Well tendered fried octopus and squid.. ravishing
My Chorizo pasta bake is legendary in my family circle and friends.
Freshly picked and cooked Asparagus dipped in melted butter and eaten with your fingers... food of the Gods.
Plain boiled rice cooked with a pinch of saffron.. ooh the smell is gorgeous.. oh oh oh or a French Bouillabaise...hmmmm
Hmmm diced Swede cooked with onions, mince, gravy and potatoes... absolute delish..
Caviar, lovely washed down with some Champers...
The more garlic the better.. garlic nan.. lovely to mop up all that curry sauce.
Surf and turf.. lobster and steak.. a great greedy indulgence. All that claw meat soaked in melted butter.
The San Miguel Spanish restauraunt in Greenwich makes a gorgeous Paella.. filled to the brim with fresh seafood... all washed down with an ice cold bottle of Alhambra beer. Their lightly seared scallops on toasted home made bread.. oh my word..
I don't enjoy coconut...
But love Chocolat, especially chocolat chip mint ice cream.
