What's the best thing you ever tasted? The ONE best thing. No lists of favorites or sweet vs. sour or history of the tongue.
Just the ONE best thing you've ever tasted.

And she don't bake.

Home made Southern Fried Chicken and jalapeños. (When I cook it.)

The pie thing.

To answer your question though, the blackened redfish from Top Water Grill in April Fool Point, Texas is awesome. Before that it was the wiener schnitzel from What's Cookin' in Kemah when Kristie still owned and managed it.
-
His wife's pie was better than wiener schnitzel.
-
That's because her pie is far more expensive.
-
stuck between honeysuckle or the time I had a real bad case of cotton mouth and had some orange juice. Best danged stuff ever at the time. Witnesses said the look on my face was that of someone who had tasted it for the first time and liked it. I just remember it was danged good.

I will never forget this. We were working new road construction. I was driving a 69 Pete dumptruck with no a/c and a bad exhaust leak. It was 104 in the shade. We were out in the boonies with literally nothing for miles around and ran out of drinking water around 2.
When we got off work at 5 we all drove to the closest bar and ordered pitchers of beer. The pitchers were frozen and the beer was so cold it was freezing along the sides. Say what you will about Budweiser, but on that day under those circumstances, it was the best thing I ever tasted.
-
I'd have to say a good crawfish boil, with the potatoes, corn on the cob, and sausage boiled with it, nothin taste better.
-
I'll have to add that one time when I was in the navy, a Texas buddy of mine and I went to have some local cuisine. We stopped in at a restaurant in a mall just south of Norfolk NAB on the water and each of us ordered a pound of steamed shrimp in chesapeake seasoning with melted butter on the side with 2 ice cold mugs of beer. That **** was finger licking good, mang.
RPM, I've had a couple of days like that myself. Budweiser turns into a 50/50 combination of pure crystal clear drinking water with a chaser of malted hops. Pretty damn good.
-
OMG :rofl the wife pie comments...very funny
One thing I recall tasting pretty dang good was after 6 weeks at boot camp, soda was strictly prohibited. After 6 weeks, that first Coca Cola tasted so good, we about gagged on the carbonation.
-
The wifey as we dated...just before marriage.
Hey you asked.

Fresh Scomber scombrus cooked on open fire straight from the ocean with plenty of butter. I was REALLY hungry so a great fish turned into something fantastic. Ive tried to replicate it, but the problem is getting hungry enough to really enjoy it like i remember from back then.

I worked at Outback for 2 years, we were allowed to eat as much of that bread as we wanted while working, I swear I can't eat that bread ever again.
Have you been there lately, they changed there BBQ sauce, taste like crap now.

Buffalo Short Rib at The Lodge at Bayou Bend. It was the best dish I've ever been served, anywhere.

I gotta go with the folks who've been really thirsty or really hungry.
For me it was at work and the arrival of the taco truck.
I was running late, didn't get a real breakfast (coffee + an apple or nothing maybe). Light headed all morning, 12:30 I hear the obnoxious horn as the truck pulls up.
Everyone lines up, orders coming out. I get the "taco plate". 3 soft tacos made with doubled-up grilled tortillas, pulled chicken, onions, jalapenos and their special spices. Beans, rice, guac, crema on the side. Finger licking good. Swab up all the juice and salsa with the extra tortillas.
I used to be scared of these driving health hazards, but the ladies run a tight ship on this one.
And on that day (and to this day) it was the best thing I've ever tasted.
sucks...I'm all hungry now and taco trucks don't make it by my new job :(
-
Fresh rye bread with real butter and cream cheese.

I went with my father to Manitowish Waters, WI (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Manitowish+Waters,+WI,+USA&ie=UTF8&ll=46.135598,-89.88739&spn=0.106344,0.233459&z=12) one time and we went to this steak house. It was a local joint, really popular, and we had reservations like 3 days out. It was one of those places NO one knows about except the locals, but incredible.
The owner of the place came out to take our order (my dad had meet him last time up there) and offered things not "on the menu" that the chef (the owners brother) specialized in. The whole family was Greek, and what they were doing in back wood WI running a restaurant I will never know.
Anyway I ordered a Porterhouse done "Greek Style" with crushed pepper and garlic.
OMG never has a steak crossed my lips that was comparable. It was like an orgasm of the mouth I am not kidding. Imagine a PERFECT cut of steak, done PERFECT medium rare, all red and juicy, you want to lick the plate it is that juicy, and the outside is seared with a hint of pepper corns, sea salt, and tiny little bits of hand crushed whole garlic embedded in the outer edge. This man had talent. I don't care it took over an hour for our meals to arrive, it was hand craftsmanship making this food. Once I was assertive and made the order 3 others at our table had the same thing (table of 10).
I literally was asking for bread to sop up the goodness on the plate; and if decorum was non-existent I would have taken the plate home, licking it the whole way, into bed, and made sweet sweet love to it.
The truly sad part of the story is the next year we went there, the brothers had a fight, restaurant closed, and the cook moved back to Greece. :cry :cry :cry
Every now and then I can still taste it, and really cry I have never found as good a steak anywhere I have tried. The absolute WORST part is today 9 years later I hold every steak I eat to that scale. It is almost a disappointment to enjoy a good new york strip some times :(
There you go Halo, #%^ you for making me remember that and cry in dis-pleasure.
-
Drambuie.
Second place being a lamb chop cooked by me.
-
Mmm yes, Drambuie is in a class by itself. I'm going to go have a swig right now.
I was also thinking Brandy Alexander, that boozy chocolate milk shake.
(quote) There you go Halo, #%^ you for making me remember that and cry in dis-pleasure. (unquote)
I share your pain. You made me remember spaghetti with a fabulous meat sauce in Evansville, Indiana, at a steak house, not a pasta place.
But the owners died and took the recipe to their grave. So goes the legend, anyway. Maybe they just sold the place. Was a long time ago.
But point is: Never Had Spaghetti That Good Ever gain. :cry
-
isn't that the worst though???
you want to know HOW they created that masterpiece, and share it because no one should be deprived of such a work of culinary art
-
I've been watching y'all post on here. Tried & tried to thing of a time when I really *loved* eating something ~ didn't come up with anything. Except maybe that one time I tried quitting smoking and had a hershey bar during a nic fit. That tasted pretty good.
-
If we're talking about food it would have to be Mrs Arch's mashed potatoes that I had to lick off the back of a spoon after major dental surgery.
Kicking back on the couch, watching movies and being fed mashed potatoes whenever I liked..... Brilliant.
I was also building a Bf 109 K4 1/32 scale model, so I had that all set up in front of the TV too.
Probably the best week of my life :lol

Absolutely agree. There has to be a special place in Hell for anyone who creates a great taste and takes it to the grave.
-
Oh hell, if there was a food that you really liked, go experiment and duplicate it. Worrying about hell over a recipe is pretty darn lame. It's just food. Start to recreate it. They didn't find it all at once either. It's a process of experimentation.

Easier said than done. Besides, some of us don't cook. At least well.

No one is born knowing how to cook. It's an acquired skill. Only your ambition or lack of it will determine what you are going to learn. It's your life, fill it with something.
-
There I was with a totally unfulfilled life, yearning for the something that would complete me, when out of the blue, in a thread seeking Best Thing You Ever Tasted, comes the admonition to fill my life "with something."
Yes, yes, I must, I WILL learn to cook the favorite taste of the motivator. I will learn to cook (I think I can I think I can): BACON!
(Recklessly disregarding advice to never argue with an editor or joust with a 10,000 poster.)

What ever you do, do NOT burn the bacon!
:furious
-
Maverick's got it exactly right.
If I go to a restaurant and find something I like, I try and reproduce it at home. Takes a few times, got to check a bunch of recipes online, but eventually you can duplicate almost anything. Okay, pastries/desserts are hard to do b/c of all the special equipment, but most main courses can be done. And in the end, after trying 5-10 recipes, you'll have something that's your 'own'. Wife sometimes gets sick of it, but when you get it right...it's worth it.

I've gotta go with Grayeagle on this one.
Lasagna is awesome stuff.
I once had a frozen mango pulp slushy on a 40C day in Bowen, North Queensland and thought I had died and gone to heaven, $2 got you about a liter or so of pure frozen blended up mango pulp.
Was just two kids on the side of the highway out the front of their family farm with a generator, box freezer, blender, a ute load of mangoes, hand painted cardboard sign and great idea.

Lastnight...at a friends house he had these Filets that he got special somewhere. Just beautiful. Ive thought about it all money. Good news is, in a few minutes I'll see it again :)
-
Bacon-wrapped baked pheasant (maybe it was the bacon what dood it...).
-
Hehe..funny what typos I make. I thought about it all morning...money must be on my mind.
-
Its ok, I often try to give people morning for services and products, so I guess we balance.
-
The bacon creeps in again...
Easily making my top 3 if not the best ever would have to be the grits I would be served when visiting my father.
Heavy butter, some salt n' pepper, over easy eggs and bacon on top.
Perfection in a bowl.:aok
