    High quality chocolate. Most of the stuff in the local grocery stores is cheap, waxy and awful. There’s a place within reasonable distance with the good stuff, but it’s hella expensive.

        Thanks! That is good to know. We have some of those around. Not on our usual rotation (a little out of the way) but this could change that. I know they have pretty good produce in there, because I have used them for that on occasion.

    Ones prepared by my personal shopper and chef, because I want to eat healthy but have more time for creative and outdoor activities.

      … and environment.

      I’d love to eat ribeyes daily, but guilt (and heart attack) would stop me pretty quickly

        I scuba dove with a school of like 1000 blue fin tuna in the Philippines, and now it’s hard to order / not feel horrible eating tuna sushi

    Nice restaurant food, but I guess that doesn’t count.

    Lychees. The funny thing is that I can afford lychees, but I always think “Why buy them when these perfectly good grapes cost three times less?”

      Lychees are fine, but rambutan are the GOAT. I’m not sure where you live, but they’re super hard to find in the US in good quality.

        Rambutan have a fishy taste to me. But longan might give the lychee a run for their money 😋

          That’s fascinating. I never got that taste from rambutan. We actually had a tree in our yard, along with papaya, and I would just go pick them fresh before school.

          You ever had snake fruit? Now that’s an acquired taste!

            They also taste fishy to me, but much more acidic 😆

            And I haven’t yet mastered getting into them; it’s not unusual for me to injure myself when I try🫣

            I file them under “not worth the effort” 😮‍💨

    Chips. I love chips, I like trying different flavors, but these days, justifying 5-7 dollars a bag for times other than parties and get togethers is getting harder and harder to do.

    Actually healthy and nutritious and delicious breakfast food. I can have two of the three for reasonable prices if I make it myself. But I want all three at max level, and I don’t want to have to make it myself from scratch.

    Local special, long away.

    Cost of food is not an issue for me. What is an issue is that I have no time nor budget to make long travel (inter-continent, with weeks off job) to eat.

    With money, I can stop working and go on a vacation.

    I would definitely like to have duck more often. I only rarely get it for myself as a treat but god damn is it the best bird going.

      Something to go on your bucket list is definitely the restaurant Bebek Bengil in Ubud, on Bali. I’m not a big fan of duck myself, but they made it sooo fucking delicious, and the views are stunning as well. The crispy duck is something I’ve never had anywhere else like that.

      The site is down for me, but here’s their site: https://www.bebekbengil.co.id/

      Man, I really wanted to like duck, but I’ve never had duck and enjoyed it. I’ve had it both Chinese and French style, and hated it every time.

      The French style was confit du canard from Le Petit Saint-Benoit in Paris, and they’re supposedly famous for it, and I still hated it.
