I just read that there is a book called 1000 foods to eat before you die. I think its just a compilation of the author's favorite foods from around the world. Might be worth checking out from the library for inspiration.
I borrowed the book before my recent Scandanavian vacation. It's an interesting read about the traditional foods in different regions of the world, usually just a page or two of info, and then links for how to obtain the item, whether mail order (from US shops), or restaurants, or festivals devoted to the food. I was too early for cloudberry season...so I guess I just have to revisit Sweden!
I don't keep an official bucket list (just the ever evolving one in my daydreams) - but if I did, it would absolutely be heavy on eating, cooking and food-related experiences/travel. Actually, I think this would be a great idea for a column - editors/members sharing their personal lists in some fashion.
Same here!! A list of recipes and techniques I've always meant to get to: marshmallows, pavlova, lasagna completely from scratch (noodles, sauce and all). I've crossed a few of the list, but those 3 are still there!
Chris, the list is rather long! But, I will say that I have been completely obsessed with finding (and eating) the BEST hot fudge sundae, but I don't want to do a lot of sampling, though. I long to dine at the French Laundry, but have given up on ever getting a reservations. Like ChefJune the remainder invokes international travel.
You're not twisted at all. It sounds like a great idea. I don't have such a list, but I could easily see starting one; it would most likely be a list of food to be savored in other places. I always have a queue of new, never-tried dishes that I plan to make. ;o)
