food is often on my mind, always has been--one of my favorite muses...lately, i've been thinking about special foods i've never tasted, but would like to. kobe beef tops that list. i've enjoyed reading articles about kobe beef for years, from time, but i've yet to read about the kobe taste experience from any of them.
i think a bucket list for FOOD would be a good idea. kobe beef and fresh truffles would definitely be on that list for me. morels too, now that a recent dc thread about them piqued my interest in these rather remarkable sounding and fascinating mushrooms.
what are some of the foods you would put on your bucket list of must-try foods? how about incredible taste sensations of foods you have already experienced that you would recommend for others?
so, finally, back to my original question--has anybody here had a kobe steak? if so, can you tell us what it is about kobe beef that separates it from the finest prime beef grades in the u.s.? is the experience worth the extravagant cost? is there something else out there that is also prohibitively expensive, but even more desirable or worthy than kobe beef, in your opinion, for a sensational, exotic food experience?
