your best meal ever

[Ariel Badger]

Mine was in Cairo in 84. I had left Zimbabwe with very little money and traveled to Kenya for two days but the money I was expecting to arrive at Barclays bank Nairobi was in East African Shilling not $US or £UK and I refused to pick it up as it was worthless and I did not eat for two days and slept in a park. I flew on up to Cairo with about a fiver in my pocket and got a room for £1.50 a night for three nights so I had £0.50 to spend on food. I met a girl who took me to a place where you could get a bowl or rice and chick peas with a chilli sauce for about 15p so I could at least eat and believe me if you are starving as I was it tasted great. I had a flight booked with Air India to the UK and sat next to a load of crusties with sitars and dysentery that did not want to eat so I eat three Air India curries one after the other.

Lunch at Castel Del Monte airstrip, hidden in a forest in Italy.

Landed, hoping to blag a lift to a petrol station and maybe grab a sandwich. But we'd stumbled across a huge restaurant, which was closed but the lovely lady said she'd knock something up for us in the chef's absence. She created a three course spread of Italian perfection which would have been an awesome meal at the best of times, but one made all the sweeter by having spent the morning contemplating our mortality during an unpleasant and seemingly never-ending horizon-less water crossing from Corfu.

We ate well, in a grand dining hall surrounded by suits of armour. I did question whether we had in fact stuffed the plane straight into the sea that morning and this was some sort of afterlife. Endless parma ham and mozarella in a castle is the sort of thing my mind would create.

I was a vegetarian in my yoof, and at the time restaurants didn't really cater for weirdos, until a quiet little one in the next village agreed to start experimenting on me with different recipes. For 6 years I had a wide range of tasty meals, but the best was the time I finally went in and ordered steak

A coq au vin with Burgundy wines served at the Ambassador Cafe on Exmouth market - now gone.

The Ambassador served decent but not spectacular food most of the time (probably part of the reason they're gone), but they did special evenings with a set menu and matched wines every couple of months. The Burgundy evening was one such. The combination of wine and food that evening was mind-blowing.

Mine was in Doncaster in 82. I had left Selby with very little money and traveled to Hull for two days but the money I was expecting to arrive at Barclays bank Scunthorpe was in pounds sterling not $US or zlotys and I refused to pick it up as it was worthless and I did not eat for two days and slept in a park. I got a national express coach on up to Doncaster with about a fiver in my pocket and got a room for £10.50 a night for three nights so I had £0.50 to spend on food. I met a girl who took me to a place where you could get a portion of chips or sausage in batter and mushy peas with a tomato sauce for about £1.50 so I could at least eat and believe me if you are starving as I was it tasted great. I had a coach booked with Yorkshire Coast Transport to Bridlington and sat next to a load of pensioners with shopping bags and head colds that did not want to eat so I eat three Werthers Originals one after the other.

A long house wedding in Borneo where a friend was marrying a local lass. I had no idea what I was eating (and probably didn't want to) but it was all lovely.

Shortly after my 18th birthday I suffered from peritonitis and the complications that went with it (yeah thanks Dr Fletcher telling me it was food poisoning. Cunt. )
For 2 weeks I was nil by mouth while my body sorted itself out after the op. The first meal I was given in the hospital was toast. 10 rounds of glorious buttery hot toast. I kissed the nurse when she brought it to me.
The feeling of food inside my belly after 2 weeks was exquisite.

The bacon & cheese oatcakes that I'm tucking in to right now.

[D O G]

Huge seafood platter (the 'extravaganza') topped with a Chilli Mud Crab, with the missus on the final night of a 3 week holiday to Australia, April 2007. The restaurant was The Raw Prawn, Cairns, and we sat outside in the balmy evening watching the world go by and eating some awesome seafood. I still have the restaurant's business card in my wallet. Happily I've lost the receipt as it was fucking expensive!

Garlic meatballs at a German restaurant in Roses, Spain. They came recommended and didn't disappoint! My girlfriend makes them for me now with spaghetti and homemade garlic bread.

Possibly - but they have to be the right oatcakes. Nothing from a supermarket, and not even those from half the smaller shops. There used to be a good place in Cheadle (Stoke's Cheadle i.e.).

When I was in Laos, in Luang Prabang, there were some local village guys building some kind of bamboo structure out into the river. Went back the next day and realised they were making a bridge. I sat and watched for a bit (well I was quite far away from them, quite a few other touristy people dotted around the place) and suddenly this guy taps me on the shoulder, telling me, "You help, my son, he speak English, you help building, bridge, I have whisky."

Heh! I declined the whisky, but took him up on his request to and help. So I went and joined them in making this bridge. I spent a good couple of hours there and got right stuck in with it even though I had no idea what I was doing, I just followed the instructions of his son who, it turned out, could speak a little bit of English.

He asked if I wanted to come back in the morning to help again, so I said of course, and I asked if I could bring a couple of mates along too, because I did think it was pretty cool to be helping build a bridge for one of the most important cities in Laos.

See that shack on the opposite side of the river? That's the house of the man who asked me to help.

To say thanks, he invited me and my two mates to have breakfast with him and his family (well I dunno if was real family or just local community style).

We had BBQ'd buffalo and this awesome sort of sticky rice, all eaten by hand from a central basket, with some uber spicy peppery stuff too. They shared beer with us but didn't have enough glasses so cut a water bottle in half and used that instead.

It was awesome because it was such a generally surreal experience. Definitely my most memorable meal.

I had been living on beans and rice / nsima in Malawi for months and went to a Zimbabwean game park for a short holiday. In the morning I woke up to a breakfast of a fresh tropical fruit salad with strawberries, mango, papaya & melon, followed by bacon and scrambled eggs cooked on an outdoor griddle, with iced danish pastries to finish. All with fresh fruit juice and tea and eaten in the African morning sun.

Best venue was the rotating restaurant in the Radisson Hotel on Peoples Square, Shanghai, but the best meals have both been Chateaubriand steaks:

I'd heartily recommend El Toro Argentinian steak house in Bochum, Germany and Holdren's in Santa Barbara, California

Lamb donner with lettuce and mayo

Many years ago I had Quarter pounder with cheese in the back of a girlfriends car while she gave me a nosh.

This thread seems more about willy waving than food, so mine was a bacon sandwich, eaten on the surface of the moon whilst Jet from gladiators sucked my cock.

Mine was in Bangkok in 94. I had left Laos with very little money and traveled to Cambodia for two days but the money I was expecting to arrive at Barclays bank Phnom Penh it was in Cambodian Riels not $US or £UK and I refused to pick it up as it was worthless and I did not eat for two days and slept in a park. I flew on up to Thailand with about a fiver in my pocket and got a room for £1.50 a night for three nights so I had £0.50 to spend on food. I met a girl who took me to a place where you could get a bowl or rice and chicken feet with a chilli sauce for about 15p so I could at least eat and believe me if you are starving as I was it tasted great. I had a flight booked with Thai Airways to the UK and sat next to a load of crusties with sitars and dysentery that did not want to eat so I eat three Thai Airways green curries one after the other.

The meal that I'll always remember for being surprisingly good for something so simple was bangers and mash from a pub restaurant about 2 miles away from where I live.
Superb beef sausages from a local butcher, mash made with milk and butter and a gravy with caramelised shallots.

[whitmorereans]

I have laryngitis and as a result I haven't eaten anything since Thursday night. Because of this I think the best meal I'll ever have will be the next meal I can swallow. I am so unbelievably hungry.
