The Best Thing I Ever Ate
 

Canned peas and canned corn niblets cooked on a coleman stove and mixed into white rice.

We were standing by the van, which was parked near the river, after a Dead Show in Boston.

My first taste of the mushroom soup at a restaurant that no longer exists, called "Joe's". It was a gourmet mushroom restaurant. I could not believe how amazing that soup tasted, unlike any mushroom soup ever. It defies description; it was the taste of forest.

Octopus carpaccio with yuzu soy, hot oils and mitsuea leaf at Morimoto... one of the dishes on the Omakase/tasting menu. Unfortunately it was the 2nd or 3rd course and everything after that wasn't as good.

Susan. :blush:

Taco Bell's Nachos Bellgrande. But that was in college and I was wasted.

Char Sui Dim Sum.
I crave it even now.

My first creme brulee, whenever that was, was like a taste of heaven.

Chinese taco type thing: minced pork, coriander and shallots wrapped in thin slices of tofu then dipped in some kind of meat sauce. Amazing.

A simple meal of eggs, tortillas, and beans, with atole for desert, cooked over a fire pit in a Mexican lady's hut . . . in a village without running water, any utilities, or any conveniences at all, high, high, up in the mountains, as a teenager searching for mushrooms . . .

Ropa Vieja with black beans, rice and fried plantains from a mom and pop Cuban deli in Key West.

Cuban food is mmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Filet mignon, crispy on the outside, med. rare inside with fried potatoes from the Pine Club...and I, too, can rock the Nachos BellGrande from teh Taco Bell ---- especially good when wasted.

seared sea scallops over orzo pasta with sun-dried tomato pesto, shiitake, oyster and crimini mushrooms with white truffle sauce at the Yard House in Golden.

Chilli ginger (huge, juicy) prawns and vegetables with rice, with a coconut smoothie, under palm trees, on a white sand beach in Koh Chang, Thailand (cost about $2). [sigh]
