It's a male greater kudu with a showoff set of horns.

Good question. I was dealing with the 7 and 3 year old grandkids and didn't get to study the display.

Moule frite and a pretty good local beer on the French side of the English Channel.

Yup. For me it was early Summertime, near Lake Erie in Huron Ohio, Maybe 40 years ago.

Oh yeah. Same with pineapples and watermelons.

I can certainly relate. I remember when I was a child my grandmother had raspberry bushes in her backyard. Whenever we'd visit I'd eat my fill of fresh berries right off the bushes. They were so delicious!! To this day every raspberry I eat takes me back to my grandmother's backyard, yet at the same time, they also disappoint me slightly as they don't quite measure up to my memory of how they tasted when I ate them at my grandma's. I believe there's more to it than simply the taste, at least in my case. The taste sparks a memory of a time and place that I know I can never return to. And while I still enjoy raspberries, they can never be the same for me as they were when I was a child.

I love peaches. For years we would harvest and process 50-150 pounds per year from our 2 trees. Then one day I suffer anaphylaxis after eating a bite , fresh from the tree. I had already showed allergic reactions to almonds, so it shouldn't have been a surprise I'd become allergic to peaches.

With my grandparents it was muscadines and scuppernongs. They had an arbor that was completely covered with the vines. We would climb underneath, eat all we could handle, and pick as many as our shirt tails would hold. My grandmother made preserves with them and my dad made wine. Muscadines grow wild around here and I scope out the vines to return in September. That muscadine flavor is unique and can flip you right back to 8 years old for an instant.

Spent the day in Santa Barbara. When leaving we explored a bunch of mountain roads above the city. The views were breathtakingly beautiful, even if the picture doesn’t do it justice.

Holy flaming meat chunks.
Chunks of rare beef and duck stuck on a medieval mace, bathed in Cognac and ignited. At a country inn 5 miles down a 1 lane goat path west of Strasbourg France.
