Oh, Oh, Oh! Santa Claus is back early, without the snowy white beard but still his good 'ol (big) bag of tricks, errr gifts!

Why, you ask..? Because I feel generous, I have too many keys for a same game, and no one want to trade them with me in the Classifieds for too long.. :/

The Rules :

- Member before 2014
- One entry per member, for up to 3 games (by their order of appearance)
- No entry for another member
- Keys are for your personal use only
- Bold your game of choice in your post (optional)
- Bold the name of the food or drink you enter (optional)

The Game :

Hmm.. The last time i set up a giveaway I was asking for the best mullet hair around.

Wow, that was original so what now... Today, I ask of you to post about one food OR one drink with a picture linked or attached to feast the eyes and if possible, a description of the divine thing, and its tasty attributes to feast the rest.

Humor and all that are most welcome, the main aim is the visual appeal of the food / beverage so pick the yummy one, but the extra time and effort spent to "sell your stuff" expanding its merits by words is gaining you rep for the contest!

Google your winner and copy image URL will do.

Example :

I'm in for The Cat Lady!

I had a trip to Thailand a few years back and I LOVED this fruit, called Rambutan

http://parade.condenast.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/rambutan-ftr.jpg

Because it is so fresh under the hot sun, and looks exotic like a virus.. It has a thing inside, I am French and lazy to google so I don't know the name, the same you find inside peaches and can't bite for being too hard?

Easy, see?

The Prizes :

Humble Bundle Gift

Deponia

Desura Keys

Millennium - A New Hope (x2)
QuestRun

Steam Keys

Fester Mudd - Curse of the Gold Episode 1 (x3)
Ittle Dew
Lucius
Men of War - Condemned Heroes
Men of War - Red Tide
Star Wolves 3 - Civil War
The 39 Steps
The Cat Lady
The Whispered World
Two Worlds II
XIII Century - Gold Edition

That's it.. Games with (x2 or more) are available by this number, of course. No deadline, it may take a few days or even a week or two as the list of my games to gift is long and entries may be few, because I know many "bundled games" everyone already has, though.. So please, spread the word and a bump after many pages away in the forum is also a good move to gain my sympathy, so the contest is more popular, it's over faster and we're all happy with it.. :)

Open now, and best of luck, my GOGers!!

I'm in for Two Worlds II

I had a fall and suffered a head injury a few years back and then I LOVED this cheese dish, called Casu marzu

Because it's so fermented and decomposed, the smell is UNFORGETTABLE. It has these things inside, wriggling translucent worms that hop out of the dish when disturbed, (thats how you know its good) so you should place your hand above to prevent them from escaping. Love that burning, ammonia aftertaste; goes well with a nice red wine.

Thanks for the giveaway koima57!

The best part is that it is done in 26 minutes.This is really good and makes me hungry even talking to you about it.

One of my favourite restaurant dishes is “Singapore Chili Crab”. Deep-fried crab in a sweet & savoury tomato chilli sauce… what’s not to love? :)

Thank you for the GA :)

I'm in for Lucius and The Whispered World since I love point and clickers :p

I went to Beijing and had Peking Duck which I really liked :) You can roast the duck for a long time without worrying that the skin will dry out. It's because duck has a fat and thick skin so you can go for that crispy skin without drying the meat. Also the combination with rice was good since I like rice very much. Plus the sauce it too good to pass.

Here are some pics ;)

Hi @01kipper , @Zurvan7

Thank you for taking part!! :)

I may have failed explaining the rules clearly enough, sorry.

I mean one entry per member, for up to 3 games / times, by their order of appearance.

If you want to enter for more than one game, please consider the order you name it, as I will see the first game you asked for as your first choice, second game as second choice etc..

Here, @01kipper I see Fester Mudd as your first choice and Deponia second, @Zurvan7 The Whispered World first and The Cat Lady second. Please edit and change their order in your post to change how I will consider them, if it is not your order of choice already..

Thanks for your understanding, and again I'm sorry for the rules if it isn't clear. Good luck folks!

Thank you for the opportunity, koima57! +1
I'm in for QuestRun(Desura).

My favorite desert is cheesecake. I especially love it when the crust has had enough time to absorb moisture from the filling, because there's nothing I dislike more than deserts with dry crusts. Also the cake should be stored long enough in the fridge, to allow the filling to cool down, thus making the cheese filling taste even blander. When you eat it you just add the topping, at room temperature for the extra flavor, which can be any type of jam or just fresh fruits.

I grew up with the Romanian variant which has raisins mixed in the filling and I love it too(it's called placinta cu branza), but my favorite is cheesecake.

Edit: The images were larger than 500kb so it took a while to reduce their size.

Not in, but thanks for your generosity.

Let me share some great drinks anyhow. One very refreshing drink I like is from the South-asian subcontinent that I know as sandalpani (literally, sandal water, but not as disgusting as it sounds). Its made from an infusion of sandalwood extract, so it is like sucking on a particularly fragrant pencil, only better, and cooler.

Another favourite of mine that comes to mind is the orange julius. which I make from mixing orange juice, milk, ice and vanilla essence. I remembered it right now because I specifically froze some juice from my home-grown blood oranges to enjoy a chilled drink in summer.

(red not because I use beets, but because my oranges are red).

One of my favourite meals is the vietnamese soup known as Pho. The sauce makes it taste sooo good and addictive.

I´m in for:
Fester Mudd - Curse of the Gold Episode 1
The Cat Lady
Star Wolves 3 - Civil War

My favourite delicacy, the "alfajor", specially the one made in a place in the city of "Minas", "Lavalleja" province. They make a long list of yummy sweets that are famous countrywide and in the surroundings, it´s the obligatory stop for everyone who travels through the city.
And it´s just quite practical, that next to the place where these are manufactured, right around the same plaza, there are the best tasting icecreams.
I am not in, but thanks for the generosity! +1
