Best meal ever: Hmm. I'll get back to you on that, but I've had a few, including my first Chipotle burrito, first time I went to the Indian buffet and a home cooked meal made by my brother's friend Heather featuring a spicy pasta sauce, yum; the gourmet food on the Air France flights... pretty much almost every homemade meal in Iran, that kebab kubideh I bought at the Tehran hostel after starving for almost a whole day, a barbeque for mother's day this year (2007). The first doner kebab I had with my French connection at Paristanbul (Le Kremlin Bicetre, Paris) with a super generous ration of harissa and Lipton Ice Tea Peche. I LOVE harissa!
