  14. Not much into sweets but the Apple Crumble screams for the vanilla ice-cream I found (it must be over a year old, hope it´s still good).

    And stuffed peppers, it´s about time again, too!
    A... Ananas. Oh, you call it pineapple. Avocado!!! Anything with that (if only we got good ones here!)
    P... armesan... hmmmm
    R ...aclette!!!
    Now I´m hungry.
