I will just have to start with my late mom's Cream Puffs.
It has been nearly 50 years since I ate one![V][:p]
Tastes are memories that you take with you till they plant you![^]

Reminds me of a song!! "I got pieces of April.....it's a morning in bed!"[:D][:D]
Among all the Exotic Dishes served, there was One I have spent the rest of My life trying to duplicate. It was of Small Green Lima Beans, swimming in a Duck Fat and Stock sort of Soup, with rough cut Duck. The pieces of Duck looked like they had been dropped into a lawnmower, with random angles, and sharp broken bones sticking out. The spicing was warm, and unfamiliar.
There was another meal, of Pat? de Fois Gras, near Our Condo on Kauai...
Another, Rack of Lamb, finished and served tableside, with a grace note dessert of Bananas Foster, again tableside, in a Favorite restaraunt of the Andrettis, near Ontario Motor Speedway...
Rainbow Room, top of the Sixes...
Too many to choose from in a wonderful life!
Mmmnnnn...........mouth watering about now.
Elephant Thai in Richmond, VA. comes to mind also. OMG good. [:D]
Fresh caught Trout at Smoketree Lodge near Banner Elk/Blowing Rock, NC.
And, and.....................
I'm going to say some very fresh Lobster right off the boat, (like fight the seagulls off fresh.) many (11 years) in a row. Drawn butter, baked potato, butter/sour cream, steamed asparagus, (or a similar fresh veggie.) Side salad, Garlic bread, etc etc. Sitting at a restaurant in Booth Bay, Stonington, or Acadia, or the like, watching fishing boats and various yachts/cruisers/sailboats come and go, as we watched the Sun go down over the ocean.

Got me thinking of a little Seafood Place in Oceanside Harbor. Never had a bad meal there. Walls were cover in Autographed pictures of stars. None of these new Punks but the Old good ones. It was a place they liked to visit.
Simple things like a beefsteak tomato fresh out of the garden with Dukes Mayo and salt N pepper on Pumpernickel or Rye bread.
Breakfast this morning, Shrimp and Oyster Omelet with a Bacon Bloody Mary. The Bloody Mary bar was literally a meal, they had Kabob skewers and along with all the normal fixins came Applewood smoked bacon, Little Chicken salad sandwiches, Sausage biscuits and Fried Chicken! Go figure, I joked around that I could just get the Bloody Mary and the Breakfast that came with it.
Lots of things come to mind, if I have to pick one my Grandmother made a chili relish that her daughters have never been able to duplicate try as they may.

Plus one about the fresh Tomato from the garden. Except it needs to be Miracle Whip salt/pepper. [}:)] your Bloody Mary bar, sounds like the Breakfast bar at Redtail Mountain Golf resort in Mtn City, TN on Sundays. I think I OD'd on bacon, last time I was there. [:0][B)][:D]
I used to call the military base and reserve a prime rib for us. Unfortunately we moved too far from the base and it is impracticable to do that now.
I cannot express just how wonderful the prime rib was. I have gone to restaurants and ordered prime rib and it was just beef, not near on par with the wifes cooking.
I have been trying to narrow it down to a top ten, but can?t, for the life of me.
Next would be a dry aged prime New York Strip, medium rare at Sullivan's in Omaha Nebraska.
Pizza, I am partial to Lou Malnati's in chicago.
Desert, the tiramisu at McCormick and Schmick's on K St. in Washington DC.
At any rate, I'd spent the morning on one of the boats contracted through morale support and had boated a fairly nice lingcod, as I recall it went 42 something. The boat's captain recommended the restaurant in town, so I took it there.
That was the best fish and fries meal I have ever had. Was Not overburdened with seasonings, just butter and the slightest hint of garlic. I was literally stuffed to the gills when I left with what remained of my fish.
I was served something at a restaurant in Korea that I've never found since. They called it Yaki mon doo. No clue what it was made of but it was incredibly yummy.
And I have to agree that lobster and prime rib rate right up there, too.
Stone Crab Claws best shell fish I ever tasted.
Her name was Amy : I even asked her to marry me ???
Stuff sweet dreams are made of !!!
Thanks !!!
I Grew Old Too Fast (And Smart Too damn Slow !!!) !!!
Fresh walleye, caught in northern Minnesota in May. Brought to shore, cleaned, wrapped in foil, added a little butter, lemon pepper and salt then thrown in the camp fire. I am not much for fish or seafood, but that is a meal that I will never forget.

Every time we visit the wife's family in Minnesota, about all I eat is Walleye.
That said, a thick cut ribeye with a very small amount of Montreal Steak Seasoning rubbed and then briefly introduced to a hot grill is still the best in my book.

Fish Heads, Actually Asian Carp.
One of several dishes I had in China.

Svickova. A Bohemian Beef dish with dumplings that is Spectacular! (Kind of a Bohemian Pot Roast)
Morels, along with all mushrooms!

Oysters prepared any way. From raw to fried to baked to roasted.

Fresh Elk Tenderloin in butter in a hot cast iron pan in camp.
Most everything at a fine French Restaurant, Steak House, Italian Restaurant, Chinese Restaurant, Japanese Restaurant, German, Etc!!
When I was stationed in New Mexico the local stores carried a similar treat made by Breyers. It was good enough to convince the kids to do their homework, clean their rooms and show up with bowls in hand and halo's above their heads. And of course Breyer's stopped making it.
Anybody remember Ideal cookies?
This is so tempting but I can't, I just can't![:D][:D][:D]
yes, but not as good as Alaska king crab legs
