A perfect medium-rare sirloin or eye fillet with mushroom/pepper sauce, preferably prepared by this man:
Fucking hell I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.
Followed VERY closely by authentic Indian food:
You cannot call yourself a food fan until you have tried authentic Indian food. No, not the cheap takeaway stuff which is the same base sauce + chilli powder (or sugar for the "mild" version). I mean the real deal! The flavors will BLOW YOUR MIND.

You ninja. You are such a goddamn ninja that I'm not sure whether to hug you or smack you or cry in vain for taking my top choice.Yuuki said:Followed VERY closely by Indian food:

To be specific, I like dosa, which happens to be vegetables inside a... inside a... it's kinda hard to explain. It's what you would get if you had a crispy wrapping. May contain onions and chillies, so eat at your own risk. :-D
Captcha- hello newman
... Huh.
@Yuuki: You seem to be sorta new, so welcome to the Escapist, stay out of the basement, and always blame Kross if anything goes wrong.
Laksa.
Specifically, Laksa Pulau Pinang, which is a noodle/sour soup/fish dish that's a bit of an acquired taste, but amazing.
For those who prefer to have less sour in their noodles, the Curry Laksa variant from the same island, which is called Curry Mee (probably due to using egg noodles) is also right up there. Although, with the amount of coconut milk in that dish, it's probably lethal if eaten too frequently.

Authentic Thai green chicken curry. There's a place at my local markets that prepares fresh Thai and Laos food from scratch. Their green curry is to die for - just amazing!
It's the spices balanced with the coconut milk, with the fresh vegetables and the perfect chicken...
Damnit, now I want a curry...

Aww thanks ^_^thesilentman said:
I've had Dosa + a mixture of well-cooked spiced potatoes and veg (on a whole another level compared to western-style potatoes) + coconut chutney. Dosa is nothing more than rice batter/lentils, technically anyone could make the mixture. The problem is getting the pan to the right temperature, spreading the dosa to perfect thickness in a circle, trying to flip the damn thing over. I tried but they either fell apart or came out slightly burned. ARGH
But yeah, heavenly dish when done right. There's just so much variety with Indian food and Asian food in general.
E.g. Thai is also pretty awesome, but then I don't know whether it was authentic Thai I've eaten or something that was modified for westerners. Most likely the latter.
Still, for some utterly contrived reason a piece of COW still appeals to me the most :S
Ditto! Haggis was exactly what came to my mind when I saw this thread.Karma168 said:
I've got Scot ancestors (mixed in with a lot of others--I'm a mutt) and ever since I first saw the original Highlander movie I've wanted to try it.
"Haggis? What is haggis?"
"Goat's stomach stuffed with meat and barley."
"Well...what do you do with it?"
*soffs* "You eat it!"
"How revolting!"

Ramen. The actual good real stuff, not the cheap 20 cent packets (though that stuff also has a place in my heart). Real ramen with fresh, substantial noodles and big slices of pork cheek and that broth which is the porkiest thing to ever come along. It's a shame that it's half impossible to find outside of big cities. I've driven a solid three hours to find a half decent bowl of ramen though.

Me, I love noodles, especially Vietnamese Pho! Can't get enough!
Never tried cow's, I prefer pig hearts myself!Deadlywere said:
Same as the OP; lasagne, though a vegetarian kind I got a recipe to from a food delivery company. The same as regular lasagnes, but carrots and other root fruits(don't know the English names) instead of meat. Delicious as fuck and cheap to make. If anyone's intrested I can do my best to translate the recipe.
A nacho recipe I got from the same company qualifies as well.

I am kinda interested in the recipe, also there's no need to translate it.DanielBrown said:
OT: Favourite food? No such thing. I love food and which dish all depends on the cravings I have at the moment. I usually love tacos and pizza. I love my own recipe for chilli con carne, I love most kinds of pasta, I love my mother's wok made with moose, I love hamburgers, chicken, Indian food, Mexican food. Really the list goes on and I can't pick a favourite.
I love food...Well here's my contribution to the food-porn thread!
Unadon (Unagi Donburi)
BBQ Eel on a bed of rice. It may not sound appetizing, especially if you aren't a fan of seafood but it's something else really: The eel melts in your mouth.

The recipe is for two dinners, but I usually cook it in one big form and save what's left for later. You could probably toss the second form(if you make two) into the freezer once it's gone cold, though I've never tried it.
Edit: Seems like The Escapist doesn't like Scandinavian letters... D:
