All the most interesting cheeses

Full Irish breakfast. Every single day until a heart attack gets me.

High quality chocolate. Most of the stuff in the local grocery stores is cheap, waxy and awful. There's a place within reasonable distance with the good stuff, but it's hella expensive.

More sushi.

• Beef jerky
• Salmon
• Cashew nuts
• RedBull
• Fresh asparagus
• Raspberry jam
• Corona Extra
• Freeze dried fruits and berries
• Fresh orange juice

Ones prepared by my personal shopper and chef, because I want to eat healthy but have more time for creative and outdoor activities.

A better question would be, What foods and drinks would you buy more often if health was not an issue?

Chips. I love chips, I like trying different flavors, but these days, justifying 5-7 dollars a bag for times other than parties and get togethers is getting harder and harder to do.

Nice restaurant food, but I guess that doesn't count.

Lychees. The funny thing is that I can afford lychees, but I always think "Why buy them when these perfectly good grapes cost three times less?"

Actually healthy and nutritious and delicious breakfast food. I can have two of the three for reasonable prices if I make it myself. But I want all three at max level, and I don't want to have to make it myself from scratch.

Local special, long away.

Cost of food is not an issue for me. What is an issue is that I have no time nor budget to make long travel (inter-continent, with weeks off job) to eat.

With money, I can stop working and go on a vacation.

Sushi would be nice. I have pretty cheap/basic taste otherwise lol. Maybe Korean fried chicken.

I guess fancy wine or whiskey.

Sushi all the time every day every hour every minute.

I would always have restaurant hummus on hand.

I would definitely like to have duck more often. I only rarely get it for myself as a treat but god damn is it the best bird going.

Berries

All the fanciest Dijon ketchups.

• pistachios
• kombucha
• daiginjo sake
• omakase sushi
• fried risotto balls
• duck (e.g. foie gras)
• filet mignon
• venison jerky

Fancy Cheese

Really good wine, really good whiskey

Raspberries

Restaurant foods, would eat out more if funds were ample for it.

(I do love fish and other seafood but worry about overfishing, wouldn't buy more. Also like beef but wouldn't buy more of that either, don't want it often)

Eh, might have steaks more than once a year or so. Still wouldn't be a regular thing.

Would likely increase the usage of aged balsamic to more than just a very dribble more and then.

Would definitely cook with better bourbons when I use it. Not that it really makes a huge difference in most cases, but I usually have a little bit while cooking when I do, so it would be nice lol.

Some different expensive mineral waters
Freeze-dried fruit
Beef jerky
Nuts in wasabi dough
Pizza

There is a brand that makes fake dried meat out of smoked beet. It's absolutely fantastic but pretty expensive. Same goes for fake salmon.

Wines, cheeses, cold cuts, mutton, salmon, porcino. I'd be also experimenting different stuff here and there (casu marzu, maple syrup, etc.)

Lobster and crab. And more of the good butter. 🤤

Impressive how much jerky is showing up on here, but that was one of my first thoughts too. I actually got a monthly jerky subscription for Christmas, and the packs are kinda little, but it's fun getting new flavors every month.

I'll throw caviar out there. We tried a wide range of it for my gf's birthday twice, and there is good stuff at every price range. Even the cheap whitefish stuff was good.

The Bowfin and Spoonbill was our best bang for the buck both times. If you want a splurge without going bust, that's my recommendation. Got it from Browne Trading if anyone is interested.

It's great right off the spoon, on a chip, on a blini, or as a garnish on something else. If you like salty, fishy, umami you deserve to try it.

I'd probably buy hummus, buy a bunch of new stuff I've never tried, maybe buy some red meat a bit more often than once a month or so.

I also usually don't buy orange juice for cost reasons so probably that too.

just eating out in general. i cook at home as often as possible because restaurant prices are nutso. even chinese takeout that used to be cheap is like $15 before tip here

Avocado, nuts, fish, kombucha

Allllll of the types of Chili, from dried and smoked to fresh and pickled all of them. Also good cuts of beef

Steak and wine probably. I eat it once a week but I’d like to eat it all the time

A whole case or ten of Port to cellar. A couple barrels of whiskey to cellar. Really just I'd get into cellaring things myself in general.
