Foods of the Gods . . . what's your personal ambrosia?

The yummy stuff is getting lumped in with the monkey brains on the other thread, so I thought I’d ask the opposite question. What is your short list for foods of the Gods?

I’ll start:
grilled oysters
steamer clams
bacon
roasted brussel sprouts
cilantro
fried egg on toast with a runny yolk
dill pickles
rib eye with fresh horse radish
ginger
yellowtail sashimi
dark chocolate
garlic mashed potatoes
fresh tomatoes
oranges
rhubarb sauce

Peanut butter, the kind sold in the fridge section without added sugar. Usually on something toasted and multigrain, but I can be flexible on that part. :slight_smile: I also love smoothies made with a frozen banana, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and almond milk.

Raspberries
Cherries
Blueberry crisp
Garlic mashed potatoes
Cherry tomatoes
Good ranch- I’m picky about my ranch
