What is the best food you've had while travelling?

A warm chicken roll from a little Milk Bar in Euroa, Victoria. Never had one since like it.
Warm churros on Santa Monica pier

The best street food we have had was in Vietnam especially Hanoi. The food in Vietnam is so healthy loads of fresh vegetables and herbs. But a memorable meal was at the harbour in Portimao in Portugal, all you can eat sardines salad and bread plus jugs of delicious wine.

At a hostel at the top of the Samaria Gorge on Crete in the 1980s, a ?goat stew followed by Greek yogurt and local honey, then the next day, after walking down the gorge, a lovely authentic mousaka at a taverna on the beach.

Waffles with crisply fried bacon and maple syrup at a taverna on the quay at 6am in Skiathos, having just arrived off a ferry, with hours to wait for a plane home (boohoo). Ought to be able to replicate it at hone, have tried but never tastes the same

Breakfast in a proper diner on Long Island - eggs over easy, bacon, home fries

A wonderful little family run taverna in Pefkos on Rhodes.
All homemade food & such lovely people. We can sit there all evening watching people go by as we eat great food, drink wonderful wine & chat to the owners. We swop Christmas cards.
Unfortunately we could not go last year & this year will be out too but hopefully next year.

Mmm fish and chips in Seahouses, Whitby and Folkestone. The best ever jacket potatoes at a steak house in Queenstown, New Zealand, so soft and fluffy inside.

An Italian motorway service station while escaping from a disastrous holiday cottage. Melon with Parma ham, followed by risotto Milanese. All totally fresh and presented with pride by the chef. Not a bit like a UK service station.

What is in a pasta pie?

Fish and chips at Capels in Exmouth, also on the harbour at Plymouth.

Buttery grilled sea bass at St Cast le Guildo, northern France.

Favourite is probably pork souvlaki in Cyprus, cooked on the charcoal, in pitta bread with salad inside - always plenty of parsley in the salad.
Now and then I make an almost-as-good version at home.

Fried kalamari in Greece, ditto grilled saganaki cheese - both simple taverna food - are favourites when I’m there.

A very spicy prawn curry in a Middle Eastern restaurant in Johannesburg ?

Crepes Suzette with 'marmalade' outside a restaurant high up on a mountain in France.

Massamam duck curry in Thailand.

A journey by plane from Amsterdam to Newcastle came to mind. It was the last leg of a three plane journey from Florida. Owing to a mix up I ended up in first class as there were no seats left, and had an absolutely super posh breakfast.

For me it's got to be the deep fried flying fish slapped between two slices of freshly baked bread in Barbados. Absolutely lush, so tasty, best fish ever!

Portugal (evening walks with the children) - grilled sardines and crusty bread - 1980's.
Cornish pasties - brought down to Kynance Cove in the baker's van (early 1980s).
Crab sandwiches at the tea room above Bedruthan Steps. They put brown meat in as well as white. On locally made granary bread.
December 2018: Seafood pizza with samphire - street vendor on Lemon Quay, Truro (Christmas market). I sat on bench people watching. Hope the vendor's there this year.

In the Costa Brava with my mum in the sixties, long before there were many tourists, sitting on the beach watching fisherman eating a huge pile of sea urchins. My mother was always very food curious, and when they asked us to join them we didn’t hesitate. They were just cut in half and the orange paste scraped out with fresh crusty bread. Unbelievably delicious.

Some years later, fruit bat pate in the Seychelles, probably not on the menu now! Also delicious.

Fish and chips from a shack near the pier in South Shields,eaten out of newspaper while sitting on the beach. It was over 60 years ago and I still remember how delicious they were.

Pastizzi tal Pizelli in Valetta
Scallops in garlic butter in Eindhoven
Take away fish & chips in Hull

The first fish and chips I have when on a visit to England

You would never get to the end of my list!

Two that really stand out, thin beef slices, rolled round bacon, pot-roasted and served with cherry sauce in Poland.

Fried streaky pork with "pinderkaase" (peanut butter sauce) in Amsterdam.

Chips in New Zealand. They were the most delicious chips ever and reminded me of ones we used to buy when I was a child.

Many years ago we went to Kashmir and stayed on one of those lovely wooden houseboats on one of the quieter lakes outside Srinagar. We had a very pleasant house boy who made our meals over an open stove in a lean-to next to the owners house - naan, local honey and chilli omelette for breakfast, lovely curried lunches and dinners. If we were out for lunch they made us beautiful picnics with homemade bread of various kinds with lots of different fillings.
We were there for Christmas Day and they made us a sponge pudding with jam with a rather unusual custard which they called English pudding - it wasn't very spongy but was actually quite nice. We reciprocated with a little Christmas pudding which we had brought with us.
Its sad to think that tourism has all but died in this area now so all of those who were employed in it have probably had to move elsewhere.

Always fresh crab sandwiches or fish and chips at the seaside here at home. Followed by a lemon top ice cream if I'm Redcar way.

But the daal we had at a hotel in Sri Lanka ran them a close second. It was so good I was even eating it at breakfast.
