These anise and sugar-sprinkled-olive oil cookies merit the old Lay's Potato Chip wager: "Betcha can't eat one!" Sadly, it wasn't in Seville that I ate them. But I was delighted to find them at the Price Chopper in Vernon, CT. Whole Foods carries them as well.

I just inhaled a generous slice of an apple, pear, cranberry crumble pie made by Hoosier Mama Pie Company. We stopped for a coffee and hot cocoa at Metropolis on Granville and of course I can never resist pie. It was amazing, each bite was different from the last! This pie is the perfect fall dessert. My only regret is that I didn't take home the whole thing. I would have taken a picture but as I stated before I consumed it rather quickly and may have fallen into some kind of a trance. :D

A heavenly Italian sausage sandwich with green peppers and a touch of marinara from Bari's today for lunch. I was starved and it hit the spot with a cold beverage.

I had something very different in mind when I first saw "Buffalo Oysters" in your post! :wink:

Rest of the menu is very good too-- wish it wasn't so hard to get a seat in there.

Pork shoulder ravioli with shaved white truffles at Cru in NYC. Just one course in a fantastic 6 course tasting menu, but to me the real standout of the meal.

An out of this world Grouper Sandwich from the Beachview Golf Resort restaurant on Sanibel Island, FL. This was described to me by locals as a "locals" joint an I can see why. At $10 it was a reasonably priced, generously sized (twice as large as the bun) fresh grouper filet on a large bun with very thinly sliced onions, tomatoes and green leaf lettuce. But for me it's the breading that really clinches the deal. It's the kind that we use in the northwoods of Ontario on fresh from-the-lake walleye filets - corn flakes, pancake mix and secret spices all mashed up in a sweet/savory amalgam. It complements the flavor of the grouper w/o overpowering it.

If you're on Sanibel and close to Middle Gulf Road, you can call the Beachview and order a sammie for pickup. If you plan on dining in, get there before 6pm or it's swamped.

This wasn't actually even the best thing I ate Saturday, since that would be at least two things I ate at Chuck's that day, but setting that aside...

Puerto Rican oatmeal at Nellie's, coconut reminding me of my favorite Mexican cereal. Yum.

Lox, home made by Ronnie_Suburban.

Silky rich fish flesh, smooth subtle smoke, light cure, nuance of flavor reveling skill level worthy of a berth at Russ & Daughters.

At Chuck's. If you see this special on the menu, definitely give it a shot. I'll be making a special trip if I see it again.

filefish jerky at Itto Sushi in LP. Chewy and smokey and a touch briny, complemented nicely by a spritz of lemon and a dollop of kewpie. Awesome stuff.

Went to Aigre Doux on Tuesday of Christmas week. I usually don't like fish at fancy restaurants but I'm glad I ordered this.

Coconut Crusted Whitefish.
snow peas, shiitake, green mango, coconut broth

Hard to explain, but something about the mix of flavors and texture was great.

Dang! Did he let you eat all that? I thought he was going to let me come over and eat some.

Appetizers and charcuterie at mado: in particular, Sunchokes with preserved lemon and parsley, a beautiful fatty goose prosciutto, and lamb kidneys, which I'd have mistaken for sweetbreads if I hadn't been told different. Lovely.

How do you cook a whole striped bass almost big enough to swallow Jonah without drying most of it out? You bake it in a thick salt crust as they did at Mado on New Year's Eve. Highpoint of the meal (just slightly above that silky goose prosciutto).

I tend to swallow my fish, not the reverse.
