What's the best meal you've ever eaten, and why?

I had an 8-course banquet cooked by Michael Caines once,
for my father's 60th birthday. Impressive though it was, it was a little too rich and certainly too salty for my palate.

Mine might be freshly-caught seafood grilled on the quayside in Essaouira, Morocco. The squid was simply incredible, charred and tender and dressed with nothing but a squeeze of lemon. My daughter was conceived that night too. When I think back to that holiday it makes me so terribly, terribly sad.

Why the sadness?
Good food, good hashish and good loving, sounds good.

In Kos I had pasta with tuna and capers.
Delicious. I've never had capers before and I've never seen that dish in any restaurants over here.

That sounds lovely.
I'm not one of the tuna nay-sayers we seem to have on here.

To be honest all the food in Kos was fabulous.

I have had some truly outstanding meals in Greece.
Some fucking stinkers, too, mind.

Just remembered the crab cakes I had in Virginia.
They were damn tasty too.

We were very lucky in that we got some really good recommendations of where to eat. Plus Tourettes knew the best places.

I've had crab cakes in Virginia too.
And some fucking STUPENDOUS barbecued pork.

Might be time to visit my father again, actually.

I hadn't eaten properly for about 2 months
and my aunt bought me a meal. It was well nice.

Yeah thanks for that detailed summary, Lamps.

It was just in Le Pain Quotidien
we had a lovely chat, she actually liked my (slightly more demure) yellow hair, we had a sharing platter of hummus, aubergine and garlic stuff and chopped tomatoes with basil olive oil. Nothing special, but it was the freshest thing I'd had in months and it was so nice to see my aunt.

I'd like to see your aunt too.
Damn this 'predictive text'.

I think you could do with some 'feminine wipes', old girl.

Feminine hose-down, rather.

I guess you're more familiar with the "guest entrance"

I certainly am.
I've reconsidered about shooting you in 'OBAYF 9', by the way - none of the other women I've been auditioning are anywhere near as good as you.

I can't wait. Thank you for giving me such a lovely opportunity :D

Actually, maybe it was when I stayed at my coursemate's house in the south of France
and he stuffed me full of meat. The stewed venison was lovely.

Some T-Bone steak I had with the family on holiday in Menorca for my birthday
Not going to say it was anything fancy, just a big lump of juicy T-Bone, unbelievable. Also may have been a case of the surroundings and company influencing the meal, but it was a real high point of my life.

Either a Beef Wellington with crushed roast new potatoes that my friend cooked for me on my birthday this year
a paella the same friend made near the beginning of the year, or the Thai crab claws with roasted chilli sauce I had last night. It was fucking awesome.

How on earth did I miss this one? I have two awnsers, and to be honest, the thing that makes them amazing is nothing to do with what I put in my mouth.



Royal Free Hospital's Jacket Potato: No Skin, No Butter, No Salt, Pure Potato Guts.

When I was just coming up to my 13th birthday, I was put on a formular called CT3211, it was an expermental forumular made by Nestle, origonally designed for astronaughts. The medical implication is that it was the pure base of what humans need to survive in respect of nutriments. You took on the stuff for two months, all you're allowed is that forumular, medically sterial water (which tastes matalic, it's not just a boiled kettle), any sort of tablets you're on and.... that's it. No chewing gum. No tooth paste. No nothing... except once a week I would sneek a single bite of a chip or marsbar, please note, this is less than an entire singular chip. The idea was that it would clear your body of everything that is in it, and then over the following year you're re-introduced onto foods one at a time, when you find something that sets you off, you know what you're alergic to and can avoid it. A Year. It was all very strict.

Texture wise, it was like a McDonalds Milkshake. Taste wise it was like a chemical type poridge. Smell wise it was like off milk. It makes me feel a little sick just thinking about it now.... and I had to get through 2.5ltrs a day of this, which now I'm older, I admit most of it went down the toilet.

Picture a young jewish lad a month before his 13th birthday going on the stuff, and not coming off it 'till a month after. Canceled all the batmizah stuff (there was other bad shit going down at the time too), fuck that, I just wanted to get this trial (and it was a trial) over with. I've done this 3 (or maybe 4, can't remember) times, the last two times I was allowed to add Crusha to it though, which made it a billion times better, but no amount of money would get me to do it again.

Anyway, before you start this, you have... well..... grim 'investigations' at the hospital, and then again afterwards. They get to see your insides and see if things are healing and getting sorted the way it should, and thankfully every time it should. That evening of when I came around from those investigations (that you're awake for, btw), then they bring you The Potato. I can promise you, there is not a single person on here who has had a better tasting baked potato... no butter, no salt, no skin, just pure potato guts. Over cooked, bungged in a trolly for 3 hours going from ward to ward, under a hot-plate for god know's how long. Might even have been a left-over for lunch, who knows? And who cares.

A week later, and Marmite was next in the queue. Hot water and marmite, marmite on potato guts, and ... potato guts on marmite.... and that's it. Oh', and a few less ML of CT3211....I can't remember the rest, but a year later, and I was eating properly, a year after that and I was back to square one.


I'm pretty sure this is where my issues with food have come from.
