Hunkar Begendi; Turkish dish of pureed eggplant with lamb on top. When prepared well it's just about the tastiest thing I've ever had. I'll order just about any variety of it, anywhere, and it's hard to fuck up. I've had better meals (I went to an expensive restaurant in Istanbul that specialized in recreating Ottoman court cuisine; besides the obvious Spellusgasm it was the best meal of my life), but this is pretty close to what would be my last meal on death row.
I like just about any Chinese duck dish I've ever had. Peking stands out, though.
Fried chicken with waffles. It's incredible.

Duck is fantastic. I don't think I have ever had duck that I didn't like.
Tabouleh is one of my favourites for its simplicity. Just bulgur and vegetables, with lemons and mint for zest.
Steak, tacos, hamburgers.
Too many to name. Of dishes I eat reasonably regularly:
steak (if good quality and properly cooked) and chips
spare ribs
salt fish croquettes
boquerones
jerk chicken with rice and peas
vegetable pakora
bhel puri
Keralan fish curry
duck confit
boston clam chowder
chille con carne
padrones
cheese on toast
eggs benedict
roast lamb with trimmings
Lancashire hotpot
pork belly
pork scratchings

Porcelain. Although hard plastic makes for a sturdy vessel and is easily disposed of.

I use one from Madhur Jeffray's Curry Easy (and it is quite an easy recipe). This is an approximarion of it for three people. Any kind of fish is fine but best to get fish that doesn't disintegrate too much in cooking. Monkfish is ideal but quite pricey.
•Buy 550g fish (with skin) cut into 7cm segments. Spread pieces out and sprinkle with salt.
•Fry 65g sliced shallots in olive oil till brown.
•Add 1 tsp grated ginger and 2 crushed garlic cloves and fry for 1 minute.
•Add 250ml water, 1/2tsp tumeric, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (or to taste) 1/2tsp paprika, lots of black pepper, the juice of a lemon and lots of black pepper.
•Simmer for 5 minutes, then add half a can of coconut milk and simmer again.
•Add fish pieces back into the pan and simmer for 5–10 minutes, or until cooked.
Halibut would probably be okay.
Cod or salmon not so much.
Thanks for the recipe, I will be sure to try it. I am a bit tired of meat curries and should eat more fish in general.

Here's another option. I've been looking around for fish curry recipes as am cooking one on Saturday for 10. May well try this or soem variation of it
I must say I like Korean kimchi.
And I am completely hooked on sashimi and maki rolls.
Lamb ribs, or lamb carré... wow.
Subway's Veggie Max sub.
It's even better with roast beef.

Subway turns my stomach nowadays. I think it's their commercials.
My mom has some nice blue china that I'm rather partial to.

I'll have to give that a go. The couple of recipes I've tried from that book haven't turned out that well so far.
The Guardian Goan curry recipe I tried ages ago and it's good.
A lot of my favourite dishes are from Fuchsia Dunlop's cookbooks:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sichuan-Cookery-Fuchsia-Dunlop/dp/0140295410/ref=pd_sim_b_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=1WTSB8Y5BGCFKZSMVYW9
From that book particularly the ants climbing trees noodle recipe, fish fragrant aubergine and mapo tofu :mmm:
My absolute favourite is very traditional...Steak and Kidney pudding - at least on the rare occasions that one finds one of both a decent quality and a decent size.
Best puddings I ever had came from a Brampton pie company franchise shop that managed to last 51 weeks in a local town. :mmm:

:yuk: Garbage
I used to eat Subway's meatball subs(light sauce, cheese and toasted bread). Then I suffered the GERD episode from hell and I ended up in the emergency room drinking novocaine.
What I like:
Shephard's pie
Filet mignon (Shish Kebab, with veggies and tomatoes)
Steak, on the grill, with pepper sauce
salmon on the grill, with cheese and maple syrup filling
roast beef with maple syrup, onions, garlic and dijon mustard insert.
