enjoying something melted. From gooey caramel to squeaky cheese curds, here are the oozy dishes you ate and shared. On these pages, Twitter handles are in blue and Instagram in brown.

your next mission:the next
100 missionsThe first 99 Gastropost missions have been delicious,
haven’t they? From bacon to basil and from feasts to bite-size morsels, our weekly challenges have
encouraged you to have fun exploring food. This week, to celebrate the 100th Gastropost mission, we’re asking you to come up with your own food mission idea. Share
a dish that will show everyone what the focus of your ideal Gastropost mission would be. What would you want to see your fellow members eating? What does
Gastropost mean to you? Show us with food!
Finally, if you’ve already suggested a mission, thank you. Why not continue to celebrate with us by
going back and redoing a favourite mission, or by mixing two past missions together into one
mega-mission of deliciousness? It’s up to you how we celebrate this milestone together.
mission inspirationGastroposter Robyn
MacDonald says she has sunny memories of completing her first few Gastropost
missions back in 2012 — and that inspired her to wish for a mission concerning a favour-ite dessert. “When my thoughts to turn summer treats,” she says,
“that means only one thing to me: s’mores! For Gastropost’s birthday, I made you toasted marshmallow ice cream with a milk chocolate fudge swirl and graham cracker crust crumbles.” Hmm, a
s’mores mission certainly would be tasty …

These crepes are doubly melty. They’re filled with barely whipped cream that oozes when you cut into them. Then the crepes are drizzled with a beer-infused caramel sauce.
