@finsbigfan...

You reserve bloody marys for vacations?

That's NCAA football Saturday for us!!!!!!!

Breakfast at 2AM, bloody marys at 6 AM yeah that's vacation!

Like other posters, my vacation indulgences depend on where I am. I try to eat super healthy most of the time but when I am on vacation, I enjoy whatever I am craving. I was recently in Devon England and indulged in devonshire clotted cream and scones.
I am going to my Uncle's home in the Thousand Islands Canada for Labor Day and have certain foods that I only eat when visiting him and my swedish aunt:
-My Aunt's homemade swedish meatballs in cream sauce and her spaghetti with meat sauce (she adds diced veggies from her garden)
-Cottage potatoes ( market fresh baby potatoes sauteed w/ olive oil and onions)
-Yellow beans ( fresh from the farm sauteed with bacon and diced onions
-Fresh berries picked on the island ( blueberries, blackberries and rasberries) w/ heavy cream and a little sugar.
-Martinis with lots of olives
-Havarti dill cheese from the local dairy
-skor bars (random, I know but they always have them in the house and I never buy them at home.
I realize most of these foods are not indigenous to this region but ever since I was a child i have associated these foods with vacationing at there home on this beautiful island and I look forward to them each time I go.

My last two vacations have been down to Savannah, and our biggest indulgence is Huey's on Riverstreet. From their incredible Spinach & Artichoke Dip, to their even more incredible Fried Oyster Po Boy, and finished off with an order of Beignets liberally sprinkled with Powdered Sugar with a side of hot praline sauce! Yum... I'm hungry now.

@sqtip ~ I can't tell you how much I am going to enjoy my clams and lobster when I get to Maine in 3 weeks! I shall think of you..........

the meal I've been dreaming about the last 3 years since I haven't been to New England since I moved to the lovely Rocky Mountain yet completely landlocked state of Colorado: steamers dug that morning at low tide, lobster straight off the boat bought on the way home from a day at the beach, corn from the farm stand and Sam Adam's Summer....All eaten outside at the picnic table situated in the small patch of grass between the cottage and the dock as the sun sets over the great salt pond.

if i go back to RI i have to have clam fritters and RI clam chowder to dunk them in. Also whole belly fried clams and pizza! at home i almost never eat fried foods and I'm lactose intolerant, but when i'm back those things are non negotiable, so i take the stupid pills from my dr and eat my pizza and all the fried stuff that is sooooo bad for me, then when i get home i drive straight to the hosp for my bypass surgery ;-)
