"Somebody mentioned Honeycrisp apples! Those or any nice crisp apple is a thing of luscious beauty for all the senses.... A smooth skin, beautiful contrast of inner flesh and skin, the resistance and snap as you bite in, the sweet smell, and taste of the released sweet/tart light juice as you eat it, especially if you luck out and get a really sweet juicy one, the clean feeling in your mouth when you are done." - Popkin on cravings for healthy food

"For me, Haricot de Tarbais are the golden fleece of beans. As s842 said, velvety is the perfect description, plus they crust wonderfully on top of long baked dishes. They are expensive. Bought them at a farm stand in Tarbes and cost me 9 euros/kg, about $6/lb. Also would use them within 12-18 months of purchase as they tend to dry out and not be as creamy if held too long." - Delucacheesemonger on the best white beans

"For crawfish, I don't just suck the head but crack open the whole cavity and use a finger to push the whole mess into my mouth and then suck out what I miss—it's all tasty. I do pull out the poop vein though." - LorenM on eating the "throwaway parts" of foods
