I just had myself a breakfast burrito at Cheesecake Factory, and now I'm eating a BBQ salmon thing with mashed potatoes (Cheesecake Factory to go)... I'm getting pretty full.

I had sushi pie earlier. I know that sounds like a euphemism, but it's not -- it was a great big sloppy helping of spicy tuna sushi meat on sushi rice in a bowl, with avocado and cucumber toppings. Good noms. "Don"

Best thing I've eaten recently: an entire boletus edulis mushroom that I found recently while out collecting morels.

Also known as King Bolete, porcini (Italy), cepe (France) and probably some other names, boletus edulis (for those of you who aren't mushroom geeks) is probably the most highly prized edible mushroom in the world. They are not easy to find in good shape- various kinds of bugs, worms and wildlife think they are pretty great too. But we had an usually extended wet spring in Central Oregon and I managed to find about 5 very nice specimens on two separate outings in the last couple of weeks.

I had intended to just eat a little bit of it- fried in butter, garlic, salt and pepper, but in the end consumed the whole thing, in several batches of fried strips. I just couldn't stop. These are large mushrooms folks- the specimen I devoured was probably at least a pound; 6" high and probably 7" across the top of the cap. It was so incredibly delicious- almost like a great steak.

OK, OK so I had the munchies and it was about midnight, it was STILL really really tasty!

I used to eat these a lot when I lived in Ukraine. Good stuff. Add a bit of fresh mushroom to a sour-cream sauce that goes with crepes, delicious.... :cool:

She-crab soup followed by Shrimp and Grits with a sweet Tasso gravy and a side of bleu cheese cole slaw. I love SC.

That sounds really, REALLY tasty. Also like it was probably a cardiovascular nightmare..

Aside from the grits and cole sllaw, that sounds like heaven :)

Grilled (rare) skirt steak sliced against the grain, on a bed of mixed greens with home-made vinaigrette.

Colloquially known as a "meat salad" in our home... easy to make, and very tasty!
