All time favorite dishes, from any origin? This is a personal question, not asking for objective opinion of best.
1) Hunkar Begendi. Turkish. Pureed eggplant with spiced lamb on top. I've ordered this all over Turkey, never been anything less than wonderful.
2) Moussaka. I love me some Ottoman cuisine.
3) Butter Chicken. Indian dish.

I made Chili Mac for the kids the other night. Tommy used to complain that it was "too spicy" but likes it now. Knowing Lola she'd probably prefer I kick it up a notch.
As to my faves, I'll have to give it some thought. I'd probably have to break it down into 'comfort food' and 'serious eating' categories.
I have many. It depends on what I'm doing (comfort food, party, relaxing at home, etc.) for what I want most.
Comfort food: Boiled potatoes, carrots, cabbage, and kielbasa with salt, pepper, butter and white vinegar
Celebration food: Chicken Tikka Masala or the spinach & lamb dish our local Indian restaurant serves
Holiday food: Scalloped oysters or cranberry sauce (Not mixed :yuk:)
Spoil myself food: Broiled sea scallops with asparagus and wild rice or lamb dolmathes with avgolemeno sauce over rice
Relaxing at home: Spinach-mushroom lasagna with extra garlicky and buttery bread
Turkish cuisine sucks. So does Greek for that matter. It's all minced meat served in filthy leafs.

I wash my leaves before I use them. :P

Polish cuisine combines the worst elements of German and Russian without the marginal benefits of either.
Turkish is one of the great world cuisines. It's a real shame most Europeans only know it from slightly trashy drunk food places.

True American classics.
My friend's wife makes an absolutely bad ass homemade 5 cheese baked mac'n cheese. And she's black, so you know it's good. YES I WENT THERE THEY KNOW HOW TO FUCKING COOK, 'K?
Favourite dish, period is almost impossible - there are so many great dishes out there. How can you choose?
I will say that my favourite dish that I make is my King Crab Mac & Cheese. Of course just about anything tastes amazing if you throw in $50-$100 worth of Kind Crab. :cool:
Saag/palak paneer
Steak frites
Coq au vin
Chicken burrito

I think you were talking Saag gosht. Paneer is cheese. :D
Any non-ethnic.

I get invited to the big Ramadan party the local Turks throw every year and while I do love the food...it sure seems almost identical to Greek food.

They are the same. The same filthy people.
Chicken kiev with home fries or mashed potatoes. Nothing better.
I'm with Spellus on the butter chicken. I recently started going to a biryani place in town that has butter chicken instead of chicken tikka masala. They're similar, but butter chicken is... somehow better. :hmm:
A couple of other favorites:
real Texas chili, which I recently started making myself (i.e. no tomato sauce, ground up dried peppers, etc.)
filet mignon
Polish boy (don't get excited Mart, it's just a sandwich)
fried catfish with hush puppies
sushi (generally salmon and tuna roll)
Cleveland sank its unclean fangs into Cal.
Once I become Emperor of the World, the Polish boy is the one thing that'll stop me from burning Cleveland down. Clevelanders will be spared for their wondrously disgusting-yet-awesome sandwich AND FOR NO OTHER REASON. :mad:
Lately I've been dealing with those fuckers at Key Bank for work. My hatred for Cleveland grows stronger daily.

I like Hunington better.
Hey, now. No Cleveland bashing. :mad: It's a good town. Jump on Euclid Avenue, go east to the Heights on Coventry, and hit Big Fun Toys, and go see all the shit you had as a kid that now goes for $150.
When you see Revolution Books on the corner, peek in and say Hi to all my fellow Fidelistas.

He's from Cincy; it's the only town that thinks it could talk trash about Cleveland.
Off the top of my head:
Roast lamb (ideally studded with garlic, rosemary and anchovy) with roast potatoes and winter veg, broccoli and red cabbage, with a mint sauce and a good gravy :mmm:
A zesty, orangey boeuf en daube.
A good kebab - the greatest fast food.
Scone, clotted cream, nice home-made jam, tea.
Treacle tart or sticky toffee pudding are the two puddings I always go for. I'm almost always a bit disappointed, but when they're good (my sticky toffee pudding's sublime) :mmm:
Scrambled eggs, smoked salmon, English muffin.

Another spoil-myself treat. A rainbow roll with two pieces of hokagai sushi.
