Really, pretty much anything Italian, sushi, fresh baked bread, great steaks, cheese- all of it, salads, wine, fresh herbs, chips and salsa, great olive oil, spicy foods, garden tomatoes, home-made salad dressings, anything grilled, salami, swordfish, capers, good coffee.... and oh, how I love Meyer lemons.
I do not really have the greatest sweet tooth.... I do however occasionally enjoy a really faboulous NY cheesecake or perfectly crusty creme brulee. I am also the girl who will probably be seen eating the cake but not the frosting.... unless it's a really divine butter-cream.
Hands down favorite food.... a big, huge, greasy, gluttonous "Special Quesadilla" from La Posta, in San Diego (a gigantic carne asada burrito wrapped in a quesadilla!!!!) Lordy.
Foods that make me want to barf: Over-dressed salads, mushy/over-cooked vegetables, mayonaise based anything, meat cooked "well" and the ever so dreadful sweet pickle.
