    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

So, for the rest of your life...

You can only eat the cuisine from one country (not the US!) for the rest of your life. Which do you pick?

I'd have to go with Japan.

Why, do you ask?

Fried Rice

Noodles (Ramen, Soba, Udon)

Karaage (Fried Chicken)

Tonkatsu

Tempura

Okonomiyaki

Yakitori

Takoyaki

Yakisoba

Sushi and Sashimi

Wagyu Steak

Yep. Definitely Japan.
 
Heck, Connie and/or I would probably starve most places. I am strictly meat and potatoes, and the meat can definitely largely be seafood, whereas Connie is the exact opposite. She eats stuff that you can grow in a garden that she calls "healthy". I eat stuff that you normally have to kill that I think is "yummy". :hehe:

So my guess is that Connie and I would have to separate to each go to a different country. But never having explored the cuisine of other countries, I wouldn't have a clue which countries they might be. We would likely both be relatively happy with seafood, I think. As long as it was local and fresh caught, and not imported from anywhere more than 100 miles away.
 
I'd be with you on the Japanese, lot of variety and also not as likely to turn you into mush as fast as many others...

but if I wanted a life of luxury I'd have to go French or Italian....
 
Italian, pizza is Nature's most perfect food, followed closely by lasagna and cannoli.
 
I'd starve, lol.

I likely would pick Japan as well, only because our family travelled there for quite a few years when I was a teen when my dad was with Emerson Electric and they were opening there, so ate lots of that great food. OMG, Wagyu Kobe steak cuts, to die for, lol.
 
Back in 1986 I installed paint booths, washers, conveyor and bake on ovens at Ford plant in Mexico.The man in charge there made sure we ate well. No diners or roadside food.

Mexico has a wide selection of beef, pork, lamb dishes that are mouth watering. The seafood we had was some of the most exotic foods I have eaten.

I've gone to a couple of higher end Mexican restaurants in the states but they Americanized too much.
