    I would get so much fruit!!! The fruit I like is really expensive here... blackberries, peaches, apricots!!! I can't remember the last time I had an apricot or a plum...

    More meat.
    Seasonings and ingredients I can't find locally. I like cooking and it would be fun to try some new things.

    If money was no object I'd also have a kitchen renovation with all kinds of gadgets and equipment.

    Scallops
    Mussels
    Calves' liver
    Fresh berries year-round (I assume the money will extend to whatever measures are needed to alleviate our enlarged carbon footprints?)
    Avocados even when they aren't on sale
    Ducks' eggs
    Milk and other dairy from local pastured cows

    ETA: Since other people are hiring cooks or buying land and hiring farm workers, I would use this unlimited money to quit my job so I would always have enough time to cook what I wanted. :smile:

    Does having a home chef count? Because if money were no object I'd probably get one of those...

    @etainwow Oh yes!!!! Preferably one that also does the clean up as well.

    I second the professional chef idea.

    I'm strange, I'm perfectly happy with what I can afford :D When treats are rare, they are more delicious.

    Berries. When 100 grams of berries can cost as much as 5 dollars, I can't always justify buying them. I would also have tofu more often. I really like it and I could use the protein, but it's hard to find and very expensive here (about 7 dollars for a 75 gram block).

    Any food that has to be shipped onto this gods-forsaken rock.

    I will trade fresh lobster for fresh fruit.

    A PERSONAL CHEF

    A lot of people went with personal chef! I actually enjoy cooking it is the clean up I hate...

    I am adding Hula Daddy Kona Coffee to my list. I got it as a Christmas gift one year. Amazing coffee but expensive! The cheapest one is $30 for a half pound.

    Most of the stuff I don't buy due to expense are things I wouldn't be eating any more anyway. And the personal chef would be a mistake for me unless I hired a spa chef. I guess I would go with the fruits that I love but only buy on sale: peaches, plums, cherries. I'd buy a lot more pecans for my oatmeal instead of walnuts or almonds. And I'd buy my pineapple already cut up because it's such a messy job. Finally, I'd buy a soda stream so I could stop feeling guilty about all the sparkling water I drink and the plastic bottles I go through.

    I guess I'm just mostly pretty satisfied with how I eat now! But if I could hire someone to clean up , yes, that would be inspiring!

    ETA: and I'd eat a lot more Dave's Killer Bread. I love it, but it's almost 7 dollars a loaf and I just can't do it on a regular basis.

    Yes to customized kitchen renovation/properly organized pantry/full stock of small quantities of fresh organic spices & lots of professional quality tools/pots/pans, etc. And cooking lessons!! I’d just hire someone to clean up, lol! (I can cook but love learning.)

    If it had to be food: wild caught seafood, organic berries (fresh) year-round from my new organic greenhouse (would also hire someone to manage that bc I have a black thumb!), and great dry aged steaks from Texas!
