5 Things To Eat Before You Die: A Guide to the Globe

Back in March, I wrote about 50 things you should eat before you die as compiled by the BBC. From Edinburgh, Scotland, Melissa of The Traveler's Lunchbox went searching for a more global view with a List of 5 things to Eat before you Die (the Foodblogger's guide to the globe) or should we call it My Favorite Things.

So here's what my TOP 5 would look like today:
-Cassoulet in Castelnaudary
-Seafood Paella as enjoyed a long time ago in Barcelona in a restaurant on the Harbor.
-The spiciest meal I ever had: a Vegetarian Couscous in Cordoba, Spain
-A homely Lunch of Grilled Sardines served on toasted bread with a mustard spread.
-Galettes de Ble Noir dipped in Lait Caille (curdled milk) in Brittany.
Except for the Sardines, the other 4 would give me an excuse to revisit a few places I traveled to.

Thanks to Bea of La Tartine Gourmande for bringing this topic to my attention.

A first hand demonstration yesterday convinced me of its usefulness. Say goodbye to these nasty finger cuts caused by sharp plastic edges. It is for now only available online ($9.95 each).
