Thru-hiker Food Fantasies —What was your dream meal?

For those who finished this year - congrats!

From my previous PCT hikes (18‘ & 20‘ ), I'm almost convinced that for the last 200 miles, our brain is 50% focused on hiking and 50% obsessing over that first real meal. You know what I'm talking about - that imaginary meal you were fixated on that played on a loop in your head and somehow kept you going when everything else sucked.

So what was it for you? That single dish or food obsession that you promised yourself you'd eat the second you finished the trail? And was it as good as you imagined?
