escargot mushrooms, beef shoulder, and tarte tatin

My theory behind this (since you don't know calories) is that mushrooms stuffed with escargot is less bad than lardons (chunks of bacon) and frog legs are gross. Beef because all of those sound like they're buttery, cheesy, or consist of something fried so... beef sounds yum. And tarte tatin because it's just a cake with some fruit in it.
