Mine changes every month or two, honestly, but right now I'm really rather fond of curries. What's yours?
 
the bowl

My favorite isn't always the same but generally rotates among the same few dishes. A lot depends on mood and how frequently I have had something recently. Today this would probably be my order:


1. Smoked Beef Ribs with a little BBQ sauce.
2. Beef Fajitas
3. Crab Legs

Though, I am more a curry/phal person usually, at the moment I go more for tikka masala right now. But last week I really wanted fish and chips.

I had this in Florence last year. Can't eat it all the time due to health reasons but when I do its awesome.
 
My wife is such a wonderful cook, keeps me fat and happy!

One of my favorite dishes she makes is Cranberry Chicken... yum yum!
 
1) Pasta with red clam sauce.

1a) Beef Bourguignon

1b) Some Italian or French Bread. An Italian, French or a California White Wine. With a good cheese. I can make a meal of these everyday.
 
I am torn between spanakopita with tzatziki sauce and my pineapple casserole.
 
Ribeye. Pittsburgh it, rare in the center. Served with a Romaine salad, braised green beans and a baked potato topped with butter and green onion.

TBH, I'm not a huge fan of epically spicy, because at some point it just competes with the flavor of the other seasonings. But I do like it at least somewhat spicy, or that doesn't taste right, either.

Damn, I love Greek food. But I hate spinach, so tiropita (with lots of dill) is my preference.

People often forget how very simple things done correctly is beautiful. Probably the best meal of my life was in Spain, right along its border with Portugal and the Atlantic. They have the freshest seafood --truly excellent prawns, cuttlefish, lobster, and so on. But they have one dish which is squid and french fries, with olive oil, coarse sea salt, and a sprinkle of smoked Spanish paprika on the top. Honestly, imo, as far as Europe is concerned, the Spanish really know what they are doing in the kitchen. That started my love affair with squid.

I love seafood, I wish I lived in an area that had cheaper, fresher crab, shrimp/prawns, squid, etc. I'd love to live in Louisiana for that reason, great food culture. (Although the political culture is not to my taste.)
 
Beef Wellington with grilled brusselsprouts. I used to hate brusselsprouts because my mom would always boil them but if you grill them in a honey glaze and srirachi sauce they come out fantastic.

I've done beef Wellington Chef Ramsey's way and it's probably the best I've had. Here's a tutorial.

I love spinach. I am especially in love with the flavor triad of spinach, pineapple, and feta cheese. They just go so well together.

I can really only afford a special meal once or twice a month; next Saturday, I am serving my arroz negro. Unfortunately, I am only using canned squids, but that worked well enough last time.

When I was in service, I was lucky enough to be stationed alongside the best fish and chippery in England...in Upton. (Gainsborough, Lincs.) The greatest fish and chips ever...in a shop owned by a Mrs. Longden.
 
All-time favorite?

Ribeye steak grilled to somewhere between rare and medium rare.
 
A well seasoned medium rare steak with mixed veggies and a good beer or wine to wash it down.

A tender plate of St Louis style ribs, with assorted sauces on hand to cover it in (really into Carolina Sweet Barbecue Sauce these days, though Vinegar-based and Memphis-style aren't bad either), and baked beans, green beans, and cornbread on the side.

Rare roast beef with mashed potatoes (red potato skins mixed in), gravy, and snow peas on the side (one of my mother's specialties :mrgreen:).

I do love baked beans...and make them often during the summer. (Usually with an out-door meal of rare, marinated flank steak...and some great potato salad.

The baked beans do tend to make me fart more than usual (we old guys fart a lot under the best of circumstances)...but since I play lots of golf in the summer...I figure out-door farting is tolerable.

I make mine with lots of bacon, brown sugar...and a healthy dose of powdered mustard. (Give 'em a bit of zing.)

Damn, now I'm craving them.
