I'm just wondering what is the most amazing tasting food that you have ever eaten. That you just really like having. It can be a full meal like bbq ribs and roasted homefries, a donut, honey glazed chicken wings, Taco supreme fries, thanksgiving turkey dinner with stuffing, potatoes, and gravy, sweet and sour pork with chicken fried rice, brownies, Curried beef with basmati rice, a Panzerotto, pizza, a thick beef burger off the bbq, a double fudge cake, Home made apple pie, etc. Name a handful if you please.

I've eaten a lot of food all over the world, and for me it isn't even close. The best dish in the world is the stew served at the Phantom Ranch at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. After hiking for six or seven hours, you're tired, hungry, sweaty, and your entire body aches, and the stew tastes like the greatest thing in the world at that point.

Sorry Lavalamp.
For appetizers, probably boereg. It's the Armenian in me. That stuff is awesome. I actually never really have any Armenian food even though my dad's side of the family is 100% Armenian. Soup and salad: french onion soup and a caesar salad. Main course would probably be parmesan crusted chicken with baked potato. For desert, apple pie without a doubt. I had some family visiting from New Mexico a few weeks ago, and we got this apple pie (don't remember where we bought it) but it was the best apple pie I've ever had. Great. Now I'm hungry. I actually have this meal quite a bit (sans the boereg, since it's a pain to make).

hmm so much good food it's hard to say. For a great dinner I'd have; brocolli salad with pine nuts, bacon bits, carrots, green pepper and a sweet dressing Fajita's with Beef, lettuce, guacomole, beans, rice, cheese and salsa. BBQ steak thick and a little pink in the middle. Toss in some grilled zuccini nice and crisp and bbq'd carrots wrapped up in foil filled with butter. Baklava -- middle eastern philo-pastry dessert drenched in honey and nuts Milkshake - strawberry of course!

Its much differently now, as you need to speak different languages. At least you know you're Armenian, and make sure you let your children know as well. (if you have them or will in the future)
It was at an insanely expensive restaurant in the Upper East Side (New York). There were a lot of yuppies there... Their pasta that night was a squid ravioli in a lemon grass broth with goat cheese profiteroles and an arugula Caesar salad. For the entrees I also had a swordfish meatloaf with onion marmalade, a rare-roasted partridge breast in raspberry coulis with a sorrel timbale, and grilled free-range rabbit with herbed French fries. All with some Coca-Cola of course... Not too much since I want to avoid sugar to a degree. :[ Edit- Not too much cola because one "can always be thinner. Look... better".
Sushi's good by me. I'll leave the Rockie Mountain Oysters in lemongrass broth for Huevonkiller to try.
