Dear Reddit, name your favorite mouth-watering dish that you will probably never get to taste again

On my way back to the US from Germany, I had the most delicious turkey burger on Lufthansa airlines. I have never had a turkey burger since then that was so moist and flavorful. I don't fly nearly enough to expect another burger anytime soon. I am curious to hear what humble or extravagant meals others have enjoyed that may truly have been a one in a lifetime experience.

Japan?

Yes. My friend knew the owner and hooked it up for us. Was possibly the greatest meat I have ever eaten. I usually keep that to myself though as people generally frown upon it.

I ate whale a few times but I didn't find it very special, I thought the whole 'experience' of eating something you "shouldn't" be eating was more interesting than the taste.

Did you have it cooked/fried/raw?

1
goochtek•

I had it raw.

I was surprised actually because I didn't know what it was and someone said try it so I did. I commented on how much I enjoyed it and then they mentioned it was whale. I compared it to what I imagine eating a rainbow would taste like.

Candy cigarettes and Ecto Cooler

where do you live? I sometimes see candy cigarettes in my local supermarket, I could send you a packet next time they have them. Not sure if it's the same kind you're used to, of course.

I know they still make the candy, but they don't have the red tips anymore either. Simulating real cigarettes is what made them cool! They didn't even taste good. Also, "Many manufacturers now describe their products as candy sticks, bubble gum, or candy" -Wikipedia

I really miss these ones from the early 90's called Salsa Rio Doritos.

After my mom passed away, our neighbor Virginia came over with a big pan of lasagna. This was over 15 years ago, but I remember I was numb to the point where I didn't eat anything for a few days. I'm not sure if it was just because I was starving or what, but I think it's the best thing I've ever eaten. Not only was it delicious but just something about that lasagna made me feel so much better, if only temporarily. Lasagna's one of my favorite foods and I haven't found any place that can do it better than my old next door neighbor.

Aloo Palak, Navaratan Korma, Sag Paneer. Oh, I doubt I'll ever have Indian food again. It makes me have severe indigestion.

Milk not contaminated with hormones and antibiotics, unless I buy a farm and keep my own cows, I guess.

Spicy Indian chutney. A friend I no longer talk to makes it. She called it 'pickles'. Some of the best food I've had in my life.

Colombo Chicken and cous cous. A mouth watering french caribbean dish I tried while living with a Dominican Republic/Guadeloupian family in France and was given the recipe while holidaying in Guadeloupe. However, I can't get the colombo spice mix in Australia and I dont think I'd be able to make it to the same standards anyway. Yum

Edit: Recipe

thanks for the recipe, it does sound delicious! I think that you should give the colombo powder a try http://www.astray.com/recipes/?show=Colombo%20powder or ask someone to make a jar of it for your birthday :)

Lobster cooked in a clay pot in a very popular restaurant in Bangkok Thailand with a proprietary blend of herbs.

A certain kind of icecream (the kind on a stick) that they sold when I was a kid. It was called "Käse Eis" (cheese ice) or something like that, and it looked like a yellow piece of cheese with some dents for holes. It tasted like bubblegum.

alligator sausage on a stick, from the French Market, in the Quarter, New Orleans... used to live down there, now thousands of miles away, and unlikely to return.

Hard to describe it - its spicy, tastes like pork but sort of like chicken, but gamey...

2
hellookittyOP•

What do you think of fried alligator? A friend offered but I was too chicken :)

1
mrmojorisingi•

It tastes exactly like fried chicken tenders. A bit tougher/chewier, but you could probably fool someone into thinking it was chicken.

tallwookie•

its not bad - better than barbcued octopus

Well, there was this food that my mother made that we called gruel but it was actually some kind of meat ball food soaked in lemon juice. I could make it myself, but unfortunately my mothers recipes are written in Linear A.

Anything shellfish related because I found out I was allergic in junior high.

About 11 years ago I had deep fried lasagna at Planet Hollywood. It was incredible. I don't believe that they exist anymore, and I'm a pretentious vegan now anyways so I would scoff at it and probably make a comment regarding my being a superior human being for my lifestyle choice. I guess there is a lot of foods I'll never have again. Oh well. sigh

I don't think this counts but in the 90's there were these milkshakes called "Killer Shake" that were awesome after a round of bong hits. Miss those. Also back in the day Pilsbury used to make personal oven-cook pizzas that were amazing, discontinued also. And Bonkers, fuck you for discontinuation willy wonka.
