What was the best dessert or meal you've ever eaten? And where were you when you ate it?

A steak with home made pepper sauce cooked by my son 3 years ago in NZ. I don't eat steak as I can never get it right but this was delicious - he is a trained chef though! The other was a tomato salad somewhere on holiday - the taste of the blend of basil and oil was amazing - never been able to replicate it - might have been something to do with the mozzarella I suppose but it was good!

Shortly after DH and I met we went to a small French restaurant in Stratford upon Avon where I used to live. We ate Mont Blanc which was a base of chewy meringue filled with chestnut sauce and piped on top cream with vanilla ice cream underneath. Can taste it now. ?

I love cooking and eating meat when my DH is away. (He thinks meat will stop his heart beating or something) A simple stock/soup with meat on the bone and lots of vegetables cooked up and eaten over 2-3 days last time he was away was absolute bliss.

Otherwise, eating out - a (savoury) truffle crême brûlée. It was served as a starter at a hotel in Trier we were staying at for New Year's Eve. The taste! The feel! Ooooh truffles!

Panna cotta at a small family run restaurant in Spain. "Mama" wasn't always in the kitchen so we would always ask when we arrived if she was there - if she was we ALWAYS had the panna cotta. Tried it in other restaurants (some award winning) but it has never been better than "Mama's"

....and raspberry pavlova at a pop up dinner in a little village on the Scottish borders.

My own homemade Cullen Skink, at my own dining table.

So bloomin' delicious I didn't want it to end.

The triple chocolate desert in our hotel in Dubai. I liked it so much we ate at a Lebanese restaurant and headed back to the hotel for pudding. I didn't see the step between the foyer and the restaurant and tripped and broke my ankle! Never forget that pudding.

Lobster and asparagus soup eating in Sicily and for sweet a lemon meringue pie eaten in Paris.

Rock lobsters in Kenya! Husbands 60th birthday and the lovely people made him a huge cake and drummers accompanied it into the dining room right on the beach. Bliss!!

Marmite and lettuce sandwiches about midnight in a car on the Malvern Hills

The best meal was a plate of deep fried calamari, freshly caught, in a little cafe in Cambrils, Spain.
As for desserts, too many to mention!

We stayed in a small hotel in Limone, Lake Garda. One evening, as a starter I had a spaghetti pie. It was gorgeous, and I've never tasted anything like it since.
As for desserts. The first time I tasted Banoffee pie was in a hotel in Blackpool. It was a taste sensation.
