Generally speaking, people who love different foods usually are more positive thinking.I think that peope from any place who can focus on making delicious foods is a sign of prosperity.
What's more, those who can make pork so tasty and delicious are very talented. Local customs and even climate can have a effect on the uniqueness of the way in which foods are prepared locally. All these reasons combined, makes the Spanish ham so special and unique.

Therefore, I would say that 'Jamón ibérico de bellota' is my answer.

Tapas! Om nom nom. Tortilla espanola (how do they make egg and cheese so delicioso), chorizo and figs, lavender and manchego with honey, pulpo a la plancha, eaten with crusty bread and olive oil, and washed down with plenty of sherry and sangria. At risk of sounding even weirder, the alcohol-soaked fruit left at the bottom of the sangria pitcher is the bomb. If you asked my girlfriend, her favorite Spanish import would be Javier Bardem. Dude plays a convincing stalker/assassin--how hot can he be? Dubious.

This is why I love Beijing. Not that I live there, of course...I live in "the real China" (3rd tier city). But Beijing is such a useful prison for self-important douchebags! Keeps them out of my hair.

Paris in the 20s...guffaw. I bet they didn't have American hot dog restaurants in Paris 1923.

AnyShopStyle.cn is a good addition. They stock tons of local up-and-coming designers like Chi Zhang, Non Season and Luvon by Luliu. Plus they've just launched their Big Christmas Sale, which means up to 50 percent off select items.

A walk in the snow on Christmas Eve is a very pleasant experiences itself.
But the radiated atmosphere of inner calm and joy from the houses do give one just the same feeling as those around the Christmas tree are having.
Helping other to have this expirience and seeing them having this joy is even more joyful and in the sirit of christmas.
