In no particular order, because they were all very good:
BBQ Baby Back Ribs at Tony Roma's in Fuerteventura
Rabbit with mustard sauce (Lapin à la moutarde) in a restaurant in Prague
Chicken Chilli Massala at the Maharajah curry house in Purton
The fillet steak served at the hotel I stayed at in Cuba

Best curry I've ever had was at Tayyabs in Whitechapel. I will have to go back some time, cheaper than the con which is Brick Lane too.

Best is a bit hard to quantify. I guess quality wise it would have to be the meal I had a Gordon Ramsay's Royal Hospital Road gaff.
But my favourite/most memorable meals were also the cheapest.
Ribs N Steak in some place on Fort Worth. Well it is Cowtown.
Salt and Pepper chicken in some place we went into in Hong Kong because we couldn't find the restaurant we were looking for. Walked in and it was full of locals. Luckily they had English menus.
Some Korean table top BBQ place in New York. God knows what we ate and the women serving pissed herself laughing because we didn't twig the lettuce leafs were supposed to be used like a pancake to wrap your food in.
An Italian in Blackpool, La Piazza II in Bispham. The bloke who runs it is superb, which makes the atmosphere superb. It's a small place but we always go there if we go up that way.
----
Sounds a bit 'look where I've been', but the truth is we don't normally go anywhere special at home. Harvester and Pizza hut aren't going to make it on anybodies list.

I had pierogi from a little side street cafe in Krakow too, Chubbs - ridiculously cheap and extremely delicious. Cioppino /clam chowder in Aliotos, San Francisco Seafood platter from the Morefield Motel, Ullapool Fish and Chips from Keswick Chateaubriand from Old Swan hotel Minster Lovell, about 25 years ago, before they decided to ruin the place by making it into a conference Centre. |
