Delicious Delights - 1. Dishes & Snacks

A fun and funny group of delightful dishes!  Thanks so much! Aditus.

I had a list similar to AC's list.

1. AC guessed chocolate frogs (delicious).  I guessed chocolate covered ants (You would need to hide the legs with a lot of dark chocolate to tempt me.)

2.  AC guessed ramen as did I, but living in Thailand I love it for breakfast and lunch. It's a very common meal in Thailand with a variety of savory soups in which the vegetables, meats, fish, seafood and noodles swim. 

3.  AC guessed espresso as did I.  I did forget the lemon on New Years Day and regretted it.  With the kopi joss in question, I had to look it up.  Let's just say it sounds medicinal. 

4.  We both guessed the same for the squid ink spaghetti, but here is my recommendation for the restaurant.  Click here  It's closer to home for me.

It was a tossup between "❤️" and "😂". 

Perfect! That's what I was aiming for. Thank you.

I have a knack for guessing wrong, so I will think on the matter first.

There's no wrong, everything that comes to mind is right.

@AC Benus 

1= chocolate-covered ant (Val guessed chocolate turtle like you. Are chocolate turtles a thing in the U.S of A. ? )

2= phở,you were close.

3= 👍

4= 👍

About the next chapter: I learned to choose the rating über carefully, someone complained, was scandalized, about how I described a guy eating gelato.

Thank you.

I have to say I enjoyed these poems, they had me thinking about what they were. I think I know the first. Was it a chocolate cricket? 😛

Thank you, Terry!

1. Chocolate makes (hides) almost everything better.

2. The theme was exploration, so why not have savory soup for breakfast? You're right.

3. Never forget the lemon! 

4. I won't touch this kind of pasta as I'm vegetarian, but, if I'd ever try it, I'd choose my cousin's version: Sicily meets Venice! (secret family recipe)

I guess I should not post the picture of the pasta from my favorite restaurant.  Thais love to garnish their food, but the garnish for this is way over the top with the ink dyed tentacles and contrasting white slivers of parmesan cheese.  😜

I definitely though #1 was chocolate covered grasshopper lol.

After that, all I thought about was that I didn’t want to eat there 😂😂

Lol, I wouldn't touch #1 and #4 either, but the theme was exploration after all. 

A Romano is actually recommendable, Kopi Joss sounds interesting.

Thank you, for reading my poems. 

Intriguing, arousing my curiosity, yet very entertaining as my mind went different places. #2 made me want soup... I have half a roasted chicken that is now destined for the soup pot. I must say you made the game of soup sound fun.  

I had chocolate covered ants from my uncle as a kid... at least that's what he told me and my cousins they were, after we ate them. In hindsight, he might have been pulling our legs.  

I had to look up Kopi Joss, but I don't drink coffee anymore, so it's out for me. However, I still remember the taste, and I think I would try this delight if I did still partake.

Loved the last poem as well, and could picture the squid, but nah... not in my pasta.   I'll be adventurous with poetry, not my pasta.   

Thanks for these, Adi. As I said, entertaining... you never disappoint. Cheers!

For me, this is the greatest praise.

How was the soup?

Thank you for the great comment, Gary.

The soup was simple and meaty, but a delicious delight. Still a lot left.

Be right over.

You should have included a warning at the beginning, "Only read this on a full stomach, otherwise you'll be raiding the fridge or running out to the store for snacks - possibly both."  It was a fun read and I thank you for sharing.

Turtles are chocolate covered caramels with pecans.

Finally, someone explains that to me.
