It’s the glaceed fruit that makes me lose it. Most commercial fruitcake – and I am excluding the Trappists and the former White House Pastry Chef at Collins St. bakery – is gummy and disgusting. I make my own...

away. My favorite was Torta di Camillo at balducci.com. Very nutty and dense, in the Italian style. Great sliced very thin. Some of the best fruitcakes in the U.S. are made by Trappist monasteries. The best I found was from Our...

basically gnocchi with mushrooms, which was average. Great beer selection, with lots of Belgian beers as well as Trappist monk brews. The front of the house team was great in providing stroller parking up in their waiting area, and...

I was curious when you said this, but I looked up their menu and their beer list is fantastic! I guess when I went here I didn’t even look at it. They have a great selection of trappist ales/tripels and their Canadian list...

Shop Rite in Meriden had them-give a call. Stop and Shop here in Hamden also. Shaw’s too in Hamden and Wallingford. I Love 'em too!! With Apricot or seedless Raspberry Trappist Jam.... mmmmmmmmm drool

out a few trappist breweries and the Ardenes and what not. I am staying in Hostels and such things; I have little money. Any advice regarding beer, chocolate and good eats would be much appreciated, especially with a...

I am absolutely serious. My idea of going to a bar is to have some good beers that I can’t get at home. Since I haven’t yet invested in a draught system, I can’t get beer on tap at home. Having a server crack...

, brussel sprouts, liver parfait are all fantastic. The and a bottleof Rochefort Trappistes No. 10 should suit you well. Eat inthe bar area if its not too crowded.

My favorite place in Downtown Oakland is Shanghai. The Trappist is down there, too. Fruitvale’s many Mexican places are a short drive from Park St.

Camino Chai Thai Noodles (Oakland spinoff of Thai House Express) Corso Flora Mono Turkish Kitchen Wood Tavern Dopo’s menu has expanded. Is the Piedmont branch of Cesar new to you? Much nicer than the Berkeley original. Trappist if...

. Nice to have it again (they had it once in bottles at The Trappist in Oakland, but haven’t had it since) —maybe tasted even better in Belgium (pre-shipping). Bush Amber: (tap) Brasserie Dubuisson. Very tasty, with strong...

I really like the fruitcakes from Our Lady of Guadalupe Trappist Abbey in Lafayette, Oregon. Here’s the link: Link: http://www.trappistabbey.org/fruitcake.html

. Sour Flemish reds, anything Trappist (esp. Trappist Rochefort 10, but it’s rare). Any of the fruit lambics (framboise, kriek) would be cool to have handy as well (though doesn’t need to be at the same joint). I know...

that absinthe one grabs me as the most potential.... at least it includes a “light dinner” they probably just don’t want people leaving absolutely drunk. i’ve been curious, but the past trappist dinner with...

After coming back from Brussels ... I would love to find a a place in Ct - -preferably along the S/South East corridor... that offers a wide selection of Beers and includes those great Belgian Ales - Trappist, Lambics, etc........
