Tell Us About Your Culinary Bucket List

I've had pizza in Napoli (Naples). It was a cool experience.

I figured your travel bucket list would be 1.England, 2. England, 3. England, 4. England... and so on.

Funnily enough so is mine.. and I'm already here! Heston Blumenthal's Fat Duck is on the list.

I think I've said before that I am trying to cook various cuisines from around the world. Yes.

But there are some things that I just plain miss out on during the pandemic and after moving further south from the metropolitan Bay Area. Among these are gyro sandwiches. I have been craving for a gyro. And the L&L Hawaiian Barbecue restaurant up in Milpitas has been sorely missed. San Jose's Fish Market restaurant has also been a fav of mine that I haven't been to in ages.

There are some things that I have hunted down on the web and cooked up this year, but I have yet to really make any stunning sushi meals and there is much to be missed there. There is a Japanese restaurant in the Cupertino area that is just too hard to not visit for so long a time. And I have recently mentioned dim sum.

So, I suppose, getting up north to drop in on these various restaurants would be on my bucket list, along with my continued exploration of global cuisines. But I'm not sure I want to make the trip just yet.

To go back to Venice and eat at Cipriani's Oro, and not start getting so sick while there that I don't remember much of the meal or traveling and being at Assisi the next couple of days.

I suppose in a way it's evolved to that. I used to have quite a lengthy one, still Europe-centric, but the older I get without having done those things, they've sort of fallen off the list, as in, "Do I really want to ride a train across the Swiss Alps? Seems like a lot of trouble when I could just go to England and sit in a pub."

Also it's a good thing most people in England have back porches so they can store their beer because the refrigerators are so damn small.

I believe Electrolux changed the name to "Executive Coolers" to avoid embarrassment.

I have been fortunate to travel and cross a few off my bucket list, but I still have a long list. These 3 spring to mind immediately:
- I want to enjoy authentic Poke in Hawaii. I've made poke with local tuna I've caught here in Florida, but never having had the real thing or been to Hawaii, I would very much like to go and accomplish both.
- One day in the far future, I want to visit South Korea and eat pretty much everything in sight but perhaps would be most looking forward to any dish containing Hanwoo Beef.
- I want to try Haggis and enjoy some steak pies and drink Scotch Whisky in Scotland. Hoping to cross this one off the bucket list next spring.

We have back porches?

My managing director ate there again recently and he thought it was going a bit stale and hadn't moved on from his first visit several years ago.

Everybody has a back porch. I'm sitting on mine right now, as usual. It's hairy and sometimes needs emptying, but there's no beer in there.

I was wondering about that. Not even sure what qualifies as a back porch. Suffice it to say I've never had one in any house I lived in, to my knowledge!

Both of my company owners are into eating at the finest restaurants.... not so difficult when you are multimillionaires.
