What is the world's greatest food?

[AngryAmish]

I have had a good portion of the world's foods. Not all, but a lot. Who knew that Indonesian chicken soup could be so good?

Anyway, I think there is one dish that is the best. It is made in a huge variety of ways but usually awesome.

That dish? Pizza.

Discuss.

[A HERETIC I AM]

1. The hamburger all the way

meat, veg, bread and with a side of fries....?

Total meal.

[IrishEyes]

15. Sounds good.

If it is a side of sweet potato fries. Hamburgers can be made with all kinds of different toppings.

[My Good Babushka]

24. I agree with that

I could always go for a hamburger.
or a hot dog.
or pizza.

Now I can't decide.

[MADem]

25. Ahhhh, but you can make a HAMBURGER pizza!!!!

Of course, you can make a pizzaburger as well....

[drm604]

2. Bacon

It can enhance anything, especially pizza or a hamburger.

[bigwillq]

3. Pizza or cheeseburger, imo (nt)

[Paulie]

4. No argument from me

[Texasgal]

5. Lousiana hot sauce.

Who knew you can use it on EVERYTHING? YUM!

[valerief]

6. Eggs, any style. I'm an eggoholic.

[Ramses]

22. a good cheese or western omelette

With toast and butter.

And coffee.

Lists up there with lifes greatest pleasures.

[Liberal Veteran]

46. What about virgin eggs?

Virgin boy eggs or tong zi dan are a traditional delicacy of Dongyang, China made by cooking eggs in urine collected from young boys.

Um...no thank you. I'll pass on those. And Balut as well.

Otherwise, I love eggs too!

[valerief]

65. Thanks for putting that disgusting image in my head! Blech!

[Liberal Veteran]

66. No matter how great the food item, someone will find a way to make it unappetizing.

[jmowreader]

7. Noodleless lasagna

You need carne asada meat, marinara sauce and Mozzarella cheese.

Cook the meat, and season to your preference.

Get an oven-proof pan and layer as follows:
sauce
meat
cheese
sauce
meat
cheese...

last layer is cheese.

Put under the oven until the cheese browns.

[mopinko]

8. pizza has it all.

i could probably live on pizza, hot or cold. meat or no.
just no pineapple, please.

[AngryAmish]

10. or Canadian bacon

Wtf is wrong with folks?

[krispos42]

56. Did you know that there is no Canadian bacon in Canada?

They call it "back bacon".

I learned this from the McDonald's inside of a Wal-Mart Supercentre in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

[orleans]

42. aw....i love pineapple on pizza. we'll have to do half & half then. okay? n/t

on edit: i had to edit my fucking aw (put an e at the end)

(awe, isn't that cute of me?)

[mopinko]

43. well, i guess so.

but no bacon.

[orleans]

44. that's fine. i don't care about that. (how much is tip?) n/t

[mopinko]

45. i'll get the tip. no prob.

[orleans]

47. great! oh, and we don't have to get anchovies do we? i've never had them but

i'm afraid they'll make me want to puke.

[mopinko]

48. i like anchovies, but i dont put them on pizza.

i put them on greek salads. the white ones are a lot milder. they are little salty good things.

[orleans]

51. good--keep them in the salad and i think we're good to go.

and starting tomorrow i think i'd better go on a diet.

do you have some parmesan or should i ask for the little packets?

[mopinko]

52. the place around the corner always brings them.

and they have butter crust.

[orleans]

53. great. then you should probably call since you probably know the number. i'll be over

in about fifteen minutes.

maybe 20.

i'm bringing my new little dog.

i have some coconut run & pineapple juice. should i bring that? or do you want to make some flavored coffee? i have a ton of that stuff.

[mopinko]

54. meh. everybody knows you drink beer w pizza.

the dog will prolly be good. the 100 lb bullydog doesnt like other dogs all that much, but he likes little ones. if we share a little pizza, he wont mind.

[orleans]

55. great! and beer sounds fun. i haven't had one in a long time. see ya soon!

i'll be leaving just as soon as i'm done hijacking this thread!

[Enthusiast]

58. You're afraid, but you have never had them.

Anchovies in the right amount on pizza is one of the great culinary treats in all the world.

[jakeXT]

9. you could be right

[Xipe Totec]

11. These:

What better way to get a sense of a place then through local food, like the fried grasshoppers pictured here?

For the Mexican food lover, Oaxaca, the city of 7 moles, is your town. The markets are pure magic, especially for those brave enough to nibble everything. (Sometimes I did, sometimes not.)

The Abastos market is impressively huge, endless in fact, even for a market tourist like myself. And all the markets were packed with regional goodies: pyramids of fried grasshoppers with lime; counters teaming with ready-to-stew chickens, their feet sticking out over the counter; vats of mole fixings as well as red, green, yellow and black glistening mole pastes ready to reconstitute; feisty roosters flipped over by their feet before sale; ice cream in every flavor, from walnut to prickly pear, spinning on ice in long metal pails; and chilies, fresh and dry in endless sizes, aromas and shapes — smoky, mild, fat and rich, tiny and ca boom!

[RebelOne]

12. Have had fried grasshoppers before,

but was told they were nuts until I saw the jar they were in.

[AngryAmish]

16. R U Strong Belas?

[panader0]

32. I loved Oaxaca. The marketplace was the best I've ever been to.

I walked it for a couple of hours, then went to a nearby cantina for pulque with the locals while my girlfriend kept shopping.
We stayed at a cool hotel with a bougainvillea covered outdoor shower on the roof. The bus ride from Mexico City scared the shit out of me, but the next morning I awoke to the sound of street bands, the market was going, the zocalo was buzzing and the old, beautiful churches were everywhere. A great city.

[shenmue]

13. Vodka

[mopinko]

49. beer

it's grain and all. like bread.

[IrishEyes]

14. Nachos

I like it with black beans, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, tomatoes, and cheese. Other like it simply with cheese or loaded with meat. It is made to be shared at social events. It also makes a great comfort food when you are alone. It can also be made vegetarian or vegan.

That is my vote. Although everyone else's answer sound good. Maybe I'm just hungry.

[vanlassie]

17. Tollhouse Cookies with Walnuts.

The best.

[NV Whino]

[Tobin S.]

26. Beer. A food and a drink all in one tasty product.

[mopinko]

50. especially a good one.

[F4lconF16]

27. Curry.

It's delicious, spiced up, and goes with a ton of sides. It can be warm or cold, vegetarian or not, and is almost always good for you. It is my favorite dish, no competition. Pair with some good naan, yogurt, and a veggie dish, and it is heaven.

[Inkfreak]

28. You, sir...are correct.

I eat Paleo except when I want pizza. Then it's game on. I care not one bit. It's the greatest taste of all, lol.

[Major Nikon]

29. Whiskey

[pipi_k]

30. Anything made from

carbs.

Or smothered in cheese.


I'll give pizza a thumbs up here.

But it's gotta be Greek pizza or French Bread pizza.

Or basically any kind of pizza on a crust thicker than a piece of paper.


Thick. Doughy. Chewy. Dripping with sauce and covered in Mozzarella.


Oh, which reminds me

Lasagna

filled with cheese. Thick layers of Ricotta and Mozzarella

[OrwellwasRight]

35. Cheese!

Nom nom nom

[oldandhappy]

With corn bread and cold beer.

[greendog]

61. Smoked Salmon

[sharp_stick]

62. I'm going with Mac & Cheese
