I don’t usually order General Tso’s Chicken, but I had to get something stereotypically “Chinese” (as in “Chinese American”) for Jewish Christmas! Much better than a Christmas ham.

Icelandic caviar (middle) with sour cream (left), dill (right), and multigrain crackers (surrounding). I had never had caviar before this – except on sushi. This is absolutely worth trying at least once. Some fellow tasters thought it was fishy or salty, but I thought it was simply perfect. Wynnewood, PA, USA

My stepbrother, who is a professional meat and cheese connoisseur, gave me five different types of cured Spanish jamón as a graduation present (he clearly knows me really well!). After consuming the entire package of this perfection, I decided to google it. I discovered that it’s one of the most expensive meats in the world ($87/lbs) – and I was not surprised. Easily one of the most amazing things I’ve ever eaten.
Why is it so expensive? Well, according to this site,the pigs are raised free-range in western Spain, where they eat acorns, wild mushrooms, herbs, and grasses, yielding meat that’s richly flavored and low in saturated fat. The ham is then cured for a minimum of two years before reaching the market.
