hmmmm food that reminds me of home is def the rabbit fried wt garlic and the curry snails LOL .......that will put some of u off. Food that reminds me of happy times.......oysters with a hint of lemon juice....and the champagne................strawberries taste good wt champs as well. Best meal I ever had must be a seafood basket in Phuket......was delicious and sexy, kept licking my fingers and lips u c lol. I have so many nice memories about Phuket......really cant imagine it can look so bad now. It was paradise if there is such thing as paradise. Chinese food in bed can be nice as well, yummy esp the long noodles hehe Geeees am getting hungry now........ ;)

Well...obviously chocolate comes first to anything..

I like Iranian food, my favorate dish is gormeh sabzee (that is how it sounds probably not the correct spelling). It is a green vegatable with beef dried limes and red kidney beans, with rice. mmmmmmmm.
A tip : Lime is the fruit of heaven and can transform any bland tasting food into mmmmmmmmmmm.
