    Eh, might have steaks more than once a year or so. Still wouldn’t be a regular thing.

    Would likely increase the usage of aged balsamic to more than just a very dribble more and then.

    Would definitely cook with better bourbons when I use it. Not that it really makes a huge difference in most cases, but I usually have a little bit while cooking when I do, so it would be nice lol.

    A fully stocked liquor cabinet. All the charcuterie board staples and all the cheeses ever. Throw some smoked salmon in there too.

    High quality chocolate. Most of the stuff in the local grocery stores is cheap, waxy and awful. There’s a place within reasonable distance with the good stuff, but it’s hella expensive.

        Thanks! That is good to know. We have some of those around. Not on our usual rotation (a little out of the way) but this could change that. I know they have pretty good produce in there, because I have used them for that on occasion.

    Nice restaurant food, but I guess that doesn’t count.

    Lychees. The funny thing is that I can afford lychees, but I always think “Why buy them when these perfectly good grapes cost three times less?”

      Lychees are fine, but rambutan are the GOAT. I’m not sure where you live, but they’re super hard to find in the US in good quality.

        Rambutan have a fishy taste to me. But longan might give the lychee a run for their money 😋

          That’s fascinating. I never got that taste from rambutan. We actually had a tree in our yard, along with papaya, and I would just go pick them fresh before school.

          You ever had snake fruit? Now that’s an acquired taste!

            They also taste fishy to me, but much more acidic 😆

            And I haven’t yet mastered getting into them; it’s not unusual for me to injure myself when I try🫣

            I file them under “not worth the effort” 😮‍💨

      Depending on your location you can grow aloe very easily. It will grow from any cut bit put in soil
