What food do you crave that you can't afford?

Mine would have to be fresh salmon (over $50 a kilo here!) and smoked salmon, just love the stuff!

I've learnt to make our own sushi and buy one tiny piece of fresh tuna with cucumber, carrot or avocado if in season. It never looks overly pretty, haven't quite got the hang of rolling down pat but it is still yum!

Madhen it's the end of mango season here and our tree is now empty but I bought a whole basket of mangos for $5 the other day from the market and have currently got the slices boiling away to make mango chutney for our curries. Hope to make enough to get us through to next mango season!

It's a deal! Too bad (or, maybe it's a good thing?) we live nowhere near each other.

I guess my most missed would be fruit other than apples and bananas

The cheese thing I have covered, we live not to far from an Amish Cheese house, and although a little expensive, no where near as expensive as anywhere else. Hubbs has a dental appointment this Friday, so will be stopping to pick up some things. Yummmmm

You are killing me, mango!

I rarely find GOOD mangoes here, and never when they are on sale. (I think they put the small ones that were picked too green on sale when they start to go bad.) Maybe I need to move to FL.

Not necessarily a "craving" but a dream..........

have the $ to buy ANYTHING I WANTED at Trader Joe's!!

Our first just opened late last fall and it is killing me!!! Good thing it isn't 'that close' to me!

Salmon and ribeye steak.

I could eat pan seared salmon, broccoli, and rice everyday.

Really good chocolate

mine is definitely lobster! love the stuff! i have an awesome local butcher with amazing prices, so we get to have ribeye weekly and thick cut bacon, etc. but here in the midwest not only is lobster uber expensive, but it's not fresh. will enjoy some when we head to the coast this summer for vacation. mmmmmmm.........
