Hungary

Best meal I ever ate:

Lotus of Siam in Las Vegas ranks. Several meals created by friends rank. Specific items all over the world can't be noted so easily here. Once I had a soup somewhere in the south of France in 1986 that still ranks in my memory but who knows where it was or how it was made. I am sure that a gorgonzola at the base of a shallow bowl with an outstandingly well developed broth was central to the dish. Every risotto A---- ever made out of nothing in Bologne was outstanding. I have a specific list of salads accumulated in my mind. Once a salad I made came on to this list. Who can delimit this reply in a box. I could go on and on and on. I am living in somewhat of a culinary oasis at present; hence, I am hungry but I am always in search of something good.

My current drink of choice:

Espresso.

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

I do not have a go-to dish. I surely should.

My favorite comfort food:

Just one?

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

Only 5?

My most tattered cookbooks:

While I have a number of tattered cookbooks, my preferred way to cook is by watching others make the dishes they do best. Not very practical, but just how I am.
