Chesapeake Bay Crabs!!!

I just had to 2nd this option. Orginially from Maryland, now in FL. so don't get them very often. We do have a place, nearby, that makes the Maryland style crabs. So yes, that would bring up my mood all right.

I am certainly a fan of good food, so a good meal will put me in a good meal. That being said there aren't really specific foods that raise my mood except for Sushi. I don't get to have it too often so it's usually a mood booster.

A little off topic but I did have quite the fun food day about a year ago. Along with a few friends we decided to see how many different meats(animals) we can eat in one day. We think we may have broken some sort of record. That is certainly a mood booster. Here is out list.

Chicken
Turkey
Beef
Pork
Quail
Goat
Shrimp
Eel
Uni(Sea Urchin)
Tuna
Scallop
Octopus
Squid
Clam
Oyster
Turtle
Cuttlefish
Kangaroo
Camel
Lobster
Squab
Partridge
Muskox
Elk
Caribou
Guinea Fowl
Pheasant
Crayfish
Conch
Alligator
Venison
Water Buffalo
Ostrich
Duck
Bison
Maguey Grub (Tequila worm)
Frog
Crab
Abalone

Pumpkin soup on Halloween. There's nothing like having a warm bowl of starchy soup to keep the cold away and the perfect blend of spices that time of year makes me feel festive and comforted.

New Orleans barbecue shrimp with warm, crusty French bread is another. The buttery, tangy, savory sauce mixed with the fresh shrimp is so flavorful and delicious, and soaking up the excess sauce with the soft bread is a transcendent experience.

The Shooter's Sandwich has become an internet legend as one of the most wonderful things one can eat. Last year when the recipe came out, I made it myself and I was high off the sandwich for days before I came down. It's hot and doughy and savory and if I keep writing about it I'm going to have to go make one so I'll stop.

Salt and Pepper Pistachios from Costco aren't even fair. You get a bag that's the size of your arm, and without meaning do, the entire bag is empty in about an hour and you're left wondering how it's legal for food to be that amazing. They have that wonderful salted pistachio taste everyone loves (yes, you love it, too), but they also have this added kick of freshly ground black pepper that takes them beyond what you've experienced. Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't, but with salt and pepper pistachios, you feel like Thor during a hurricane.

Finally, there is pure extravagance in the form of Duck Breast With Fig Sauce. You don't even understand. You just... can't. It's an experience perhaps beyond explanation. It's so good, you'll question your very sanity at the simple smell of the dish. Being in its presence will leave you dazed and confused, desperately clawing at the walls of your own perception for a rational explanation as to the sensations that surround your soul. Then, daring not to even reflect on your actions, you'll take your fork and knife and remove a piece of this golden slice of the universe, and ingest it, becoming one with all that ever has been, is, and ever will be. Total and complete understanding will transform to everlasting peace as you chew, allowing the essence of what it is to be sentient roll over your tongue. As you swallow, your inner most self will be made tangible and the foundation upon which it will sit is the culmination of all thought in the cosmos.

Pumpkin soup??  That sounds so good!

I wonder if it goes well with pumpkin beer? XD

That Shooter Sandwich looks fantastic. After I try to make the Bacon Explosion I'll have to give that a try.

It really, really does. I also like pumpkin ravioli.

Lot's of talk of pumpkins going on, I've noticed, so I needn't mention them again.

Lamb. Roast lamb, roast veg and if gravy could be roasted I'd have that too.

I quite like lamb hearts, chopped up and grilled, with some mashed spud and boiled cabbage to go with, if only to relish the look on housemate's faces when I offer them some.
