Seriously remiss!

How could I possibly fail to mention, under my four (and then some) favourite dishes, the following treats?

Roasted garlic and parmesan grissini from Wild Olive - folks, no mere starter but a superb meal in itself. By cost-per-mass, you'd think they were made from spun platinum or something, but they are unparalleled. We're talking good enough for your last mouthful on Death Row.

Pesto bread with sea salt from Doppio Zero - crusty on the outside, with a sea salt crust on top, fluffy and moist on the inside with layers of pesto spread into the dough. Not a low-calorie meal by any stretch of the imagination, but so very, very good.

Melomakarana, preferably from Fournos - any speakers of Greek forgive my possibly errant spelling - little juicy biscuits made from honey, cloves and nut flour, then baked, soaked in syrup and topped with flaked, toasted almonds. Koeksusters se moer!

Apologies to Caro, but honey, no way was I going to leave out your famous wheel of baked Camembert, topped with a macadamia nut brittle.

Oh, and I also forgot to add one more movie that I can watch again and again: Sin City. It's just bee-ootiful.
