    Ice cream is my favorite food. I eat some almost every day.

    This or this is my favorite flavor of the year. I recently tried a Baskin Robbins pint for the first time, pralines and cream, and really liked it. I've got an unopened pint of gold medal ribbon I plan on trying tomorrow.

    Homemade yellow cake with thick chocolate butter cream. Absolute favorite.

    Savory it is fried chicken. I could eat fried chicken and cake every meal...

    Cheese, ideally with a hot baguette (the crusty bread is the part that I miss the most being GF for 4 year now).

    I'm going there for three days on a 13 day trip next year. Aside from the obvious pizza and gelato, is there anything in particular youd recommend?

    Lucky for me I like some things that aren't so bad...coffee, grapefruit, medium rare steak, just right apples, good pickles and olives, salsa, tabbouleh & fatoush.

    First love is salty stuff, so popcorn, potato chips and tortilla chips w/salsa and/or queso which I can totally eat as a meal and could eat every single day for the rest of my life.

    Fave sweets are good quality chocolates and cookies...AFAIK skipping my Christmas box of See's this year, gotta be choosy about those cookies for one day too.

    Freshly baked, still warm bread. I could eat a whole loaf in one go.

    I'm with you, lady. I'm all in for the carbs. With a little fat. This is what sent me in to ecstasies last week:

    Our local Wal-mart is offering a sourdough and I cut the first slice this morning. I buried that crust in my face and took a good whiff of the yeasty-crusty goodness.

    ...

    The trick is to stop at one.

    A Garbage Plate.
    For those of you un-initiated, a plate is a Western NY creation-you put your choice of two-macaroni salad, baked beans, home fries, or french fries, on a plate. Place two cheeseburgers or hot dogs on top. Cover that with hot sauce-which is a greasy, meaty, acid reflux inducing mess, and then mustard and chopped onions on top. Pair that with a roll to sop up the grease.
    It's heaven. I eat them rarely because they are SO bad for you. One is in my future next week :-)

    I know you didn't ask me, but I'll chime in :smile:

    in rome, I really enjoyed their version of "fast food" or what I prefer to call street food: square, crispy pizza from the small shops where you tell them how much you want, and they cut some off a huge slab and charge you based on the weight; and suppli, which are similar to arancini, aka fried balls of awesome.

    sicily is known for pistachio sauce, which sounds weird but was so tasty, creamy, and unique. the best dish I tried had thick spaghetti, pistachio sauce, crispy bacon bits, and some fresh grated cheese. yuummm.

    if you're a wine drinker, I highly recommend drinking the house wine offered at any restaurant. you can buy it by the liter (or half, sometimes even quarter) for a fraction of the price, and I never had one I didn't enjoy. and I drank at practically every single meal over my two week trip. :blush:

    @spacequiztime The seafood, the meat, the pasta, risotto, cheese... pretty much everything! :p I love pasta so I would have a different pasta everyday, sometimes for lunch and dinner. Pizza some days (I like mine very simple, margarita especially with bufala mozzarella, yum!). Depending on the time of year you are going, fried zucchini flowers are amazing (I believe they are in season end of summer) and oh the wine! We went on wine tours which were fantastic. Oh and obviously depends on the region(s) you are going to.. in the North you will find more polenta and stews, in the South more seafood dishes. :)

    Rice krispy treats will send me into fits of cravings at just the smell. I don't dare eat a single bite or I'll binge.

    For savory, it's cheese and bacon. Great separate, but put them together and I'm in heaven.
