Destination-Worthy Milkshake: Licorice Shake at Hamborgarafabrikkan in Reykjavík, Iceland

I'd love to try that! I've acquired a taste for licorice thanks to my Finnish fiance, and every time we're in Finland I buy myself a licorice ice cream bar. I imagine the milkshake might taste similar.

What Foods Do You Miss Most as an Expat?

I'm an American living in Estonia, and I miss American ice cream (Cold Stone-style, with all kinds of stuff in it), baby spinach, and candy corn. After my most recent trip home to the States I've found myself missing subs/hoagies, microbrews, and nice big shrimp (you can get them here, but they are soooo expensive).

Why "Keen-Wah"?

@sudenveri - LOL (from somebody who does know how "yö" is pronounced)

David Lebovitz's Chocolate Chip Cookies

I've also made the CI cookies and loved them, even though I don't think I actually browned my butter. But the Thomas Keller cookies are still slightly better, in my opinion... that sprinkling of sea salt makes them amazing and is now something I add to any chocolate chip cookie recipe.
Looking forward to trying this recipe!

Cook the Book: Blood Orange and Bacon Hangover Salad

@ BigJustinTurbo: I was thinking the same thing. Seems way too labor-intensive for a hangover food.

Serious Heat: What's Your Secret Chili Ingredient?

My go-to chili recipe contains Coca-Cola and always comes out delicious. I recently tried it with beer instead of the Coke and that was also awesome.

Snapshots from the UK: Pizza Express's Leggera Pizzas

I tried one of the Leggera pizzas when I visited London in May and loved it! I think it's a wonderful idea, like getting two menu items in one. I blogged about it here.

Tiramisu Bliss at D'Amato's in Chicago

LOL... the comparison of tiramisu to Boone's or Mad Dog is hilarious.

The Food at Ikea: Cheap and Good

I completely agree with this! My parents and I have chosen Ikea as a lunch destination before, when we don't even need any furniture, just food. The meatballs are the best, and anything with Daim is to die for. Also, the Kristian Regale sparkling cider available in the shop is wonderful.

Thanksgiving Appetizers

I did the antipasto thing one year and my family adored it.

Question of the Day: What movie has the best dinner scene?

A dinner scene that is memorable for being cringe-worthy and hilarious (rather than delicious) is the one in "The Birdcage," when the hosts are desperately trying to cover up the homoerotic images on their china and the fact that "Mother Coleman" is actually a man (while she charms the pants off the conservative senator).

From Talk

Question of the Day: What are your favorite "simple" foods?

I'm echoing banana with peanut butter. Salty and sweet with protein and nutrients. Perfect. Also tomatoes with fresh mozzarella and basil, and good chewy bread with olive oil and salt. And fresh-picked berries in the summertime.

From Talk

What food do you wish you liked, but don't?

Olives. I love Mediterranean food and olive oil, but olives themselves are just not palatable to me. I'm working on it, though.
