At first I would be spoilt for choice in ten courses but then when I think about my favourite cheap eats, my favourite meals from my mother, my favourite meals at a nice restaurant AND my all time favourite desserts... it doesn't leave much space for each.
I am thinking that a Paul's special hamburger with special sauce, chips with extra chicken salt AND a 2L bottle of pineapple crush would definitely make the list. It is one complete meal because you couldn't possibly have any one of those components without the other. I am also thinking that this peanut brittle and sour cherry dessert that I had at Mr Ramsay's Maze in London would make the list. But what about mum's chicken soup? And xiao long bao? And peking duck? Shang Tung chicken from Kingsford Chinese? Bodega's entire menu? Rice and Tabouli from Hannibals? And the amazing bread from Justin North's Becasse? Pierre Hermes macarons? The Snow egg from Peter Gilmore's Quay? Hot & Spicy KFC chicken?!
I will give this some serious thought and get back to you... stay tooned... and tell me what makes your list!
