How cool would it be to receive this notice today: Congratulations, you are the winner of a life-time supply of ____! Pick one food or culinary related item you'd like to win...the prize, a life-time supply. I tempted to say chocolate or ice cream or coffee, but cheese is my choice. What would you like to win?

I might have to say Blue Mountain Coffee..... oh soooo good.
Alm25 at 6:20PM on 10/15/07
When I saw the subject line, I cried out "Cheese!" Although not sure how much of a lifetime I'd have left with all the cheese I wanted . . .

I'm going to have to go with chocolate, preferably 60%, semisweet. I think I have an addiction!!!!!
Mich23 at 6:30PM on 10/15/07
i am going to have to say banh mi, i could eat those every single day of my life, maybe even twice a day.
kitchenlove at 9:37PM on 10/15/07
I have to say good French roast coffee, because I can't start my day without it. But bacon . . . ooooooooh . . . bacon.

huney_bumper at 9:43AM on 10/16/07
really good vanilla, both beans and extract, so i could make a lifetime of fabulous desserts
AuntJone at 10:35AM on 10/16/07
I'm landlocked now but spent 50 years by the sea. Gotta go with fresh fish.
Halibut would do very well thank you...
czken at 12:02PM on 10/16/07
Clean kitchen towels.
Edible?
Olives, Parmesan cheese or oatmeal stout.
ajeys at 12:16PM on 10/16/07
Tops on my list of possibilities are things I’ve enjoyed here and there, but just can’t bring myself to buy for home consumption…
• Caviar - Russian osetrova or sevruga malassol
• Champagne - prestige cuvee ’96 (or other grand vintage)
Things I sometimes buy but always feel like I shouldn't have spent so much to have...
• Dry-aged beef, preferably prime even though I'll die young
• Ultra-fresh Chilean sea bass
There are lots of things I’d wish to always have on hand in much greater quantities than I typically purchase…
• Saffron
• Morels
• Truffles
• Valrhona
I guess the best would be a supply of a different luxury food of my choosing each week for the rest of my life!
;-)

Mortadella
Sandro at 3:00PM on 10/16/07
For heaven's sake, people...with a little careful financial planning you CAN have a lifetime supply of bacon, butter, mortadella. Costco, hello?
Black truffles, hands down.

You like to eats?

LOL druz99 -- you said what I was thinking!
I left one item off my list. I think I might be able to live off the french fries served at the Hotel Astoria in St. Petersburg (Russia)... yes, they are THAT good...
Mmmmmmmm... I'm salivating just thinking about them!
Okay. Sorry. Please continue... [blush]

Waygu beef tenderloin from cows that have been blessed with an easy life of Belgian blonde ale and pasture pornography.
The Guilty Carnivore at 4:06PM on 10/16/07
Salt. All different kinds from all different places - some pure - some with add-ins like truffle. (Recently purchased truffle salt from Dean & Deluca on a visit to NY and I'm totally in love with it.)
I want a truck to dump Kosher salt into a sterile vat behind my house so I'll never run out.
chiff0nade at 4:19PM on 10/16/07
different kinds of chocolate -- truffles, syrups, bars, powders, chips -- to cook with, eat and to use to make mochas and hot chocolate.
misseditor at 4:55PM on 10/16/07
You really do have the best questions JEP, how do you do it.
I would like to win a lifetime supply of: pizza. That's right, I admit it. I really like pizza and I wind up eating a lot of it so if I didn't have to pay for it again, maybe my life would be better. Of course it would have to vary and be my choosing of where it comes from each time I eat it.

Hillary--thanks :) Isn't it fun to dream of winning good & tasting things?
JEP at 7:15PM on 10/16/07
homegrown sungold cherry tomatoes, year round. or really ripe, perfect strawberries or raspberries.
a few weeks ago i bought a horned melon at the greenmarket. it was sort of like a cucumber only a thousand times more delicious. i haven't found another one since {despite returning endlessly to the stand where i got it and whining piteously} but i would gladly eat one every day for the rest of my life.
cybercita at 9:53PM on 10/16/07
life-time supply of...thomas keller's in my kitchen.
vinnyger at 10:30PM on 10/16/07
Potatoes... :-)
Sara - Piperita at 9:21AM on 10/18/07
Is Bourbon a food? ;-)
If not I have to go with cheese. A different one every week until I have tasted them all.
Greyhoundgrrl at 12:11PM on 10/24/07
Cold seasame noodles...

the world's best seafood
PerkyMac at 9:48PM on 01/14/08
Fun topics today!
the best, freshest seasonal fruits and vegetables available!
radley24 at 10:38PM on 01/14/08
Food-wise, it'd be cheese and/or chocolate.
Kitchen-wise, it'd be really top-quality linen towels and beautiful tablecloths.
moibec at 11:09PM on 01/14/08
tomatoes, all sizes, shapes, colors.
beth1 at 12:00AM on 01/15/08
It is snowing & windy today...I'd like to be the lucky winner of life-time supply of coffee as a bonus to my cheese winning!
JEP at 5:34AM on 01/15/08
potatoes and beaujolais, not necessarily in that order!
MaryColeman at 8:08AM on 01/15/08
LIQUOR! -- but if I had to choose a food, it would probably be crab-- all varieties-- blue, snow, dungeness, king, stone, etc...
lakeloverhh at 11:36AM on 01/15/08
I agree - if we're dreaming, we might as well dream about something we wouldn't be able to have a lifetime supply of ourselves, it's certainly more fun this way:-). So it's caviar (the real thing), black truffles, langoustines, crab and good vintage Champagne Brut.
brooke29 at 12:10PM on 01/15/08
If I had to pick one thing, it would be Pasta.
Now...for top shelf items, a lifetime supply of Fresh Market Meat and Cheese would fit the bill perfectly. Or better yet, a weekly "limit" of money that could be spent at Fresh Market weekly. It would be like having a gift card that never runs out!
chiff0nade at 12:33PM on 01/15/08
Money.

I am so excited!! I logged onto Serious Eats, and this popup screen started flashing and it said that I had won a life time supply of ....
Olive Oil! Not just any olive oil, but the stuff that these 2 sisters in the Marche region in Italy make, and no I'm not divulging the name, they don't make that much of it, and I'm not sharing.
Then my husband logged on and he won too! He won a life time supply of Illy coffee.
I love Serious Eats. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Wine (all types . . . or if only one is available, red zin from Paso Robles, CA).
Susquehanna at 8:39AM on 01/16/08
Perfectly ripe, off the tree peaches...
Dogstar at 9:03AM on 01/16/08
Zabar's anything.
RichardCrystal at 9:25AM on 01/16/08
I would have to say... invitations to all of your houses so I can sample all the delicious coffee, cheese, olive oil, butter, bacon, chocolate... Especially you, JEP, you mad genius :)
CookiePie at 10:08AM on 01/16/08
Mmm...I like CookiePie's idea...let's combine our winnings & celebrate!
JEP at 12:11PM on 01/16/08
Golden Delicious Apples--perfectly ripe of course!
And Kashi products. Any kind, any time.

Reservations at Peter Luger's
bessfour at 12:26PM on 01/16/08
have to agree with Alm at 55$ a lb it would have to be Jamacian blue mountain coffee! But between the 2 of us we might denude the island ;)
huney_bumper at 1:13PM on 01/16/08
This is so tough. I am tempted to say simply Cannolli... but no no... my final say is...
a years supply of all of the above!
joturtle at 4:59PM on 01/16/08
Cold, cooked, split lobster. Oh yeah. That and skirt steak are the only two food items I don't think I will ever tire of, and the lobster has the supreme benefit of zero actual work on my part. And I do so love it.
Great question JEP.
