That was not an easy title to word. Basically, are there any foods, drinks, or anything related that you collect because you like it so much?

For me, it's salsa and hot sauces. My parents have been traveling a lot lately, so I usually ask for them to pick up a unique-looking jar of salsa or a bottle of hot sauce. I've probably tried about 30 different types of non-grocery store hot sauces, and all kinds of interesting salsas. Lots of good stuff out there.

What about YOU? IPB Image

I like to think I'm an advocate of beer, I have tried many different types and stuff, but I guess until I'm 21 and get to travel I'll only be a minor one.

Bread/cheese maybe. Not a big one though.
Actually that reminds me that if anything I'd probably be one for pizza.

Holy crap a new bottle shop opened up near my house and they have nearly every beer under the sun. I almost bought some newcastle but they had cheap liquers for $10 a bottle, so I bought a couple and made Japanese Slippers instead.

Flat breads
Chocolate, but I don't touch anything under 65% cocoa
Olives

I don't collect these foods, but I eat them so much [well, bread and olives anyways] that I have a pretty strong grasp at what is a good and what is not

Salsa- Usually I only go with homemade but if I am not near my Aunt or grandma I buy it from independent salsa companies.

Cheese- I adore strong sheep cheese and love goat cheese.

Beer- I can't even drink shitty beer or beer from cans. I've been raised on microbrews and decent imports.

Cigars- I don't smoke crap.

I like to try a lot of kinds of candy. I don't think that makes me a connoisseur, though.

Hey Grimes, do you have any Trader Joe's near you? If so, my favorite kind of salsa is their Salsa Especial. Even the name screams special, baby.

I am a connosseur of the great meat known as bacon.

Weed.


Seriously, I've smoked a lot of different weed. I've known a few growers, and had good connections to shit from all over the world. Maybe I don't have as many kinds as some people here, but I've had my share and enjoyed them all.


My favorite is Northern Michigan Sweet Skunk, grown on horse farms up north, just outside, no upkeep. Best weed known to man, imo.

Pizza: I've had pizza from, like...everywhere.


Chocolate: I love dark chocolate, and white chocolate. Fuck that 70+% cacao shit though. I appreciate the rich flavor, but that doesn't mean I have to like snacking on that shit.


Espresso: Fuck Starbucks

I like the 80% cacao. I didn't at first but it grows on you.

And for me it's cheese.

There's nothing like baked camembert with beaver mustard, a block of Dublin sharp cheddar, or smoked brie on a slightly toased baguette.

Oh I would say I'm a bit of a liquor connoisseur. I have about 40 different types and know a hell of alot about the different types and the whole process.
princesstoadstool
i'd have to say. im a connoisseur of things i can't get here in cali, or at least at a reasonable cost.

pork roll, good NJ pizza, subs, fudge, thrashers fries.... blue crabs, east coast seafood....
