What is the most magical food you've ever eaten?

A ripe persimmon when I was in Jordan. I am afraid to try one here because I'm guessing it will never compare.

At Betony in NYC had some appetizer that was sweet and salty, cold and hot, that misted when you stirred it. A tasty chemistry experiment. Amazing sensations.

Never had it, been meaning to try it...DH is away on business so it's just me and DD for dinner. I think tonight is the night!

The best peruvian chicken I had in the DC area is at a place in Fairfax, on Lee Highway, in the back of a building with a Duron paint store in the front. I don't even know the name of it but it looks shady as hell. Best. Food. Ever.

The best is Sardis... The green and whit sauce is mmmmmgrrrr.

Get the yucca or fries and salad with vinaigrette . It's like 7 bucks ... A steal

The fries and yucca in the sauce is money too!!

We tried it! Big thumbs up, especially the green sauce.

An insane little appetizer involving pop rocks and sausage - at Akelare in San Sebastian, Spain. The whole experience there was amazing and was a nice introduction to the world of gastronomy.

Pop rocks in general are magical! They were as a kid, they are now!

As a kid, wild berries. Raspberries behind our house in NY, blueberries picked on Bear Mountain, and tiny wild strawberries in the meadows around our house in PA.

Later, sushi. Absolutely magical.
