And now a bit of food and drink again from the weekend in Asheville.

38. Cedric's Tavern (Biltmore Estate) - Cedric's house-made pickles:  Sweet dill pickle with onion and lots of cider-vinegar.  Also had slices of pickled onion in the jar.  These were some of the best pickles I've had in a very long time.  I also found the recipe for the pickles here.  I'm going to make some of these up this summer!
39. Cedric's Tavern (Biltmore Estate) - Ham and cheese fondue appetizer.  This was made with a salty, Virginia-style country ham thinly sliced and melted white cheddar. It was served with grilled sourdough and was very good.  
40. French Broad Chocolates - Cacoa nib brownie:  A cake-ish brownie filled with cocoa nibs baked right into the dough.  Very very good - rich taste of the brownie mixed with the crunch of the nibs giving some contrasting texture.  Delicious!
41. French Broad Chocolates - Oaxaca: "A contemporary Mexican hot chocolate with house-ground chocolate, almonds, organic sugar, cinnamon & milk. this is what you’d get in a chocolate shop on the streets of Oaxaca."  This is incredibly rich and I would say could be tempered some with a cold glass of milk.  Take your favorite dark chocolate almond bar, add a touch of cinammon, and some high quality milk then liquify it and you have a good idea of what this was like.  Super good but oh so rich.  I could get very very fat if I lived in Asheville just from eating French Broad Chocolates. 

42. Wicked Weed Brewpub - Corn-dusted trout aioli sandwich: Crispy, crusty bread with a nice mild trout filet.  Aioli is a bit too vinegary with the mildness of the trout, but very good.  Fries that came with it are very good and salted with sea salt, but they were a bit overcooked.
