So FoodTv has this show called The Best Thing I Ever Ate and while that show has 'famous' chef's telling you what they enjoyed, I got to thinking. What's the best thing I ever ate. A few things come to mind.
A mashed potato bake my grandmother made for one Christmas, it was tangy and smooth - warm and comforting. It had cream cheese in it and she sprinkled it with paprika. I've never gotten her recipe and I'm thinking if I asked her now, she may not remember it. (It was at least 25 years ago)
The second thing I remember is a Tomato and Basil soup I had at Warwick Castle in 1997. Delish! It was warm, perfectly spiced and I've wanted to recreate it myself, but never had the guts because if it didn't taste the same, I would be disappointed.
The third, and decidedly the best thing of late is a sandwich I had here, in Des Moines. It's a grilled sandwich with great crusty bread, goat cheese, beets and prosciutto...oh my heaven. The salty prosciutto and the tangy creamy goat cheese, with the tart beets. SO good. And yet, I haven't been back there to have it again. I fear my memory of it might out do its actual taste. I don't want to ruin the sensory memory, but my drooling may force me to try again.
What about the best thing YOU ever ate?
