What food are you craving right now?

If you want some nutty cheese, try Comte from France.  It's got that nutty taste but it's way better than jarlsberg.  The Norwegians can't make cheese.

I have so many cheeses to try!  I don't think I'll do all the nutty ones in the same sitting.  I want to mix it up a bit.  New Year's Eve is going to be delucious this year! 

jfkimberly--I've only had port wine cheese once back in 1990 so my memory isn't brilliant but isn't it just cheddar cheese with cream cheese and a touch of port that's rolled with nuts?

...my MIL who used to be in the food trade in her first career. She said that she had "heard" that cheese balls were popular in the US but that she definitely never encountered it in her lifetime in England. She did add, "there's a first for everything I suppose". She suggested that it sounded like something you may find at Fortnum & Masons, Selfridges, Waitrose or M&S in the Christmas aisles.

Yeah, that's probably it.  But you can buy a ready-made product in the uS that is just the spread in a tub.  I don't have a kitchen and if I have a food processor (I might have a hand-me-down from my inlaws), it's packed away waiting for my future kitchen.  But M&S or Selfridges sound like the right kinds of places to get it if it can be had over here.  And it's that time of year.  Yay!

After stumbling upon this article, I would really like some khachapuri. Not that I've ever had it, but it sounds like it would be wonderful!

I have had this, and can confirm it is an absolute game-changer. There's also a version with an egg baked into the middle offered by the Georgian restaurant in my neighbourhood. Depending on my mood and how recently I've been on a run to the Russian-food basement in an alley in Waterloo, I'll either spread some adjika on there, or a combination of adjika and smetana, and then eat an entire khachapuri, because you can't stop once you start.

A new bubble tea shop opened here a couple weeks ago, that also serves sushi burritos and poke bowls. It's all I've been craving since I visited last week!

I don't like Sushi but you haveeeee got my attention by talking about burritos...What exactly is a Sushi Burrito?!

I'm not going to ask what a poke bowl is.

It's a marriage between a sushi roll and a burrito so it's a "sushi wrap". Instead of pork/chicken/beef in a tortilla with Spanish rice and beans, it has salmon/tuna and sticky rice like sushi. Plus, instead of salsa, you have Japanese condiments and soy sauce.

It's from Hawaii, basically a sushi bowl w/ rice and toppings

It's a Hawaiian dish that's essentially a marinated raw tuna over rice and veggies/salad.

I would quite happily take a poke bowl or sushi burrito or just sushi in general!

So far this week, I've had cravings for beef stroganoff, Friendlys Peppermint Stick Ice Cream, a cheese scone, a dill pickle, savoury cheese, and carrot cake.  Hmmm...

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? 

Had any good beers lately?

Cheese scones?  Jeez,  don't we have enough of those?

I have a date tonight with a lovely, bubbly, blonde Belgian.  She's very witty
