I've now had two friends send me a link to the Observer's feature about the 50 things that every foodie should do. So, it seems that this posting is a "must-do."
Frankly, I was pleased to note that I have already done several things on the list, including:
3) Dismember a chicken
6) Dine at the French Laundry
13) Learn how to make a dry martini
20) Wolf down a hotdog on Coney Island (Nathan's pictured above)
28) Dine at Jean Georges in New York
29) Pod fresh peas
30) Queue for fish and chips
31) Get up early and go to market
33) Catch your own dinner
35) Grill a steak
A number of other ideas on the list sound tempting - ranging from slurping udon noodles in Takamatsu to eating chocolate cake in Vienna - but it was really #11 that made me realize that I have a lot more "foodie living" to do:
11) Make love in a vineyard
And, according to the article, it had better not be "just any vineyard either, not even any French vineyard, but in no fewer than all five of the Bordeaux first growth vineyards. At night."

I'm going wine tasting this weekend -- any interest?

That depends on the vintages to be sampled...
