Food
I am looking for really luscious, extravagant foods you might have eaten or seen, for inspiration in writing a feast scene for my novel. I know some of you out there can identify complex spice mixtures by taste, and others of you cook interesting things, and most people out there like to eat. So... tell me what the most interesting, extravagant, luxurious foods you've ever eaten or heard of have been?

Thank you!

my favorite dessert

When I was last in the city, Azmeer took me to Lulu's Cafe and beyond the fact that all the food was amazingly good
(Fried mussels, roast pork with a honey glaze and and lamb medallions with a targon mint sauce and gnocchi with pepper sauce) we had Panna cotta for dessert and ever since I've been thinking of it.

It's a cream custard of sorts, like amazingly good ice cream that's smooth and not quite as cold, it made ice cream seem over-flavoured. Instead it was simple, and made of the sweetest double cream. We dipped spoons into it, and scooped up the fresh fruit on the side and eating it made me feel catlike, I'd take a bite and then want to curl up in a ball and just think on that bite for a moment.

It was yummy, and smooth and fresh and sweet but simple, and if I hadn't been brought up by my mother I might have considered licking the plate.
