"Mmm ... unexplained bacon"

I have to agree

It is so difficult to say!

If it were one DISH, then I would say that a good bouillabaisse would be very difficult to beat.  I love anchovies, so very close second would be a generously garnished pisaladiere (which, contrary to the recipes you find on the web, is NOT made with tomato sauce).  Also ranking very high in my esteem, as single dishes, are choucroute garni, cassoulet, and daube de boeuf.  With any of those, I would take a nice bottle of Cote de Rhone (white with the bouillabaisse, of course, otherwise red).

Then again, one of the best dishes I've ever eaten was at a restaurant on the shores of Lake Murten: baked perch in morel sauce served over noodles.  It was heavenly.  If I could be sure of having exactly that dish again, I might prefer it to anything else.

If it were an entire DINNER, then I would ask for rare roast beef with carrots and mushroom caps baked alongside, green beans, Yorkshire pudding, and for dessert, apple pie with cheddar cheese.  With that I would take a good Burgundy.

For a single FOOD, its a close call between anchovies and blue cheese.

THEN their is boiled lobster and drawn butter.  God, I must stop!

Raw oysters and their liquor on buttered bread with a tall glass of Trois Monts!!  Stop!  STOP NOW!!!

Duck and lamb cooked well can be beautiful.  I also have a real weakness for shellfish and cheeses.  Throw in a good bottle of wine...

A number of years ago, I started experimenting with Cajun cuisine, and still think a good gumbo or jambalaya would be my deathrow dinner.

I am not that surprised, since this is the most famous Swedish Chef:

After about 5 weeks as a vegetarian, I tend to judge food after its effect and less after its taste. I've always been more gourmand than gourmet anyway, but after just a couple of days as a vegetarian I noticed that my health and mental alertness improved drastically - as well as my online rating, which currently is about 100 points over my previous personal record! Despite that I only play a tenth of what I used to these days.   

So far, I haven't missed meat the slightest. Especially, since I've found a vegetarian restaurant in the centre of town which serves very good asian style food with curry sauce but without meat and dairy products - though I personally haven't given up milk & cheese otherwise, but actually reduced my sugar intake considerably without really trying. Must be a side effect of the slow carbonhydrates in the veggies... 

Anyway, I've found that the hunter who missed the elk was right: '-Run away, if you like, it's the sauce that's most tasty anyway!' 

Pumpkin with salt meat, the Surinamese way, or sopropo filled with minced meat. Combine it with a djogo (1 liter bottle of Parbo Beer).
