What's the best tasting thing you've eaten?

[MacAttack]

Man, there are so many to choose from. By far the best steak I have ever had was at John Howie's, it was Australian Wagyu and specialty cut from JH called Zabuton ... King Crab is delicious. My favorite meal is surf and turf....give me a piece of fresh caught salmon/prawns/scallops/crab and steak and I'm in heaven.

This thread is not helping my diet...

I don't discriminate.....I like everything equally as much. 

One that comes to mind that I haven't seen listed though is "Paradise Pancakes"

1 large 8-10" pancake covered in butter, peanut butter,  2 eggs on top of that (any style but I like over medium, sausage and or bacon on top of that, then topped with copious amounts of syrup.      Immediately after eating prepare yourself for a FOOD COMA.

That reminds me of the best breakfast ever.  When I was very young there was a restaurant in Steilacoom called Waverly By The Sea We would go there as a family once a month for a Sunday brunch after church.  I remember the Dutch Babies being beyond sensational!  Lemon, butter and powder sugar was all that was needed.  That was a looong time ago and I can still taste those wonderful babies.  Can hardly find a Dutch pancake anywhere these days.  Wonder why?

Can't find them anymore cause to many people have suffered artery clogging Cardiac Arrest as a result......

Morel mushrooms at Hills Priest Lake Resort sautéed in something served with some kind of fancy bread Yuuuuuuuuum.

Yeah it is weird.  I remember growing up in Roy and they used to serve them at the "McKenna Y" but I'll be darned if I can't find them anywhere else.  When the "Old European Breakfast House" moved into Spokane, I got excited thinking they might have Dutch Babies (or Popover Pancakes - whatever you choose to call them) but they don't.   

Oh well they're simple as pie to make and I can eat an obscene amount without paying out the nose when they're homemade

Dutch babies are the best. I have an great recipe for them and my mom makes them for special occasions. I would be happy to share if your interested RADSAV. 

[WCTaxidermy]

My cooking. I'm pretty darned good at some of it. My Scalloped 'tatoe's. Everybody loves them.....

A home made scallop tater recipe would be awesome.  Care to share your recipe campmeat?  I'm pretty sick of the store bought scallop potatoes.

My favorite is a big ole 17 pound full packer Brisket smoked on my pellet grill with Hickory/Oak wood.  Complete with all the sides, including a home made Scallop Tater recipe that's forth coming. hint hint campmeat.

They have German Pancakes at Elmer's, but it is not even close the what we used to get.  There is also a restaurant in Covington that I can not remember the name of that still offers them.  I'll have to get in touch with my brother and ask where it was he took us.  They weren't too bad there, but still a far cry from those at Waverly.

Battered and fried halibut and spot prawns straight, fresh dungies out of the water in Alaska followed up with fresh, wild blackberry pie.

[Jonathan_S]

One of the best things I've eaten recently are my homegrown quail with a strip of bacon over the breast and stuffed with mushrooms and chestnuts.

Close behind are the wild huckleberry crumbles, and pies. 

Last night I did a 7lb beer-can chicken from our fryer batch and could have died happy.

I like those!  But you better stay clear of me for about 48 hours afterward.  Gives me the wind something horrible

[Jonathan_S]

Hahaha!   

I don't have that problem thankfully.  I did a huckleberry pie with bear lard last week...  Might as well kill me because I have seen it all now. 

[DOUBLELUNG]

Shaking the peach tree until the ripest one falls off.  Walleye and potatoes fried on shore.  Elk calf and whitetail fawn.  The 2-year old bull moose a friend shot in Wyoming.  Bull fries and pitchers at the 21 Club in Buffalo WY.  Fresh, hot bread out of the oven with real butter.  A bacon double cheeseburger and icy cold beer after 9 days in the Shoshone wilderness.  Bighorn sheep tenderloin roasted over a campfire with salt and pepper.  Broiled Crimini mushroom caps stuffed with fresh dungy, cream cheese and cheddar.  Paua (abalone) straight from the Pacific in NZ to the frying pan with garlic oil.  Ruffed grouse breasts sautéed over a campfire after a hard day hunting.  Fresh Brewster sockeye grilled with chili powder and brown sugar.  Really good sushi.

When I was a younger tyke...  I shot a good spike blacktail way too deep in the woods for my scrawny arse to haul out alone so I boned him out. I scraped the butter, peanut butter and jelly from my last sandwich into a backpackers pot. I cut 1/4" or so slices of back strap and cooked them slow in the butter/jelly/blood with a foil lid on the pot while I kept boning.  OMG!  It was like sex! So good and never enough. I think I could have eaten the whole backstrap, died right there, and would have died a happy young man.
 
Years ago during deer season... I bagged four big Roughed Grouse hens. I cut the breasts into 1/2"/smaller cubes. Slow saute'd them in butter/red wine not a half hour after the kill. Almost undercooked.  (there's often a bottle of Pinot Noir or a Cabernet  in the camp trailer)  I made a boxed fettuccini mix. Drained the wine off and served the bird atop the noodles. A little pepper. A little garlic. Garlic toast on the side. Just one of the best dinners my huntin buddies remember the most over the last 20+ years.  Grouse is by far my favorite bird to eat.
 
I'll take Red Rock crab claws over Dungeness. But Dungeness over King or Snow crab any day. I can't stand Blue shell crab back east. Love me some Butter clams or Calamari!
 
FRESH Lobster and FRESH Prawns.   In my youth my folks had property on Hood Canal. We crabbed/shrimped/fished there for several years I love fresh-boiled-chilled prawns in the shell.
 
A fresh butchered grass and grain fed Angus or Scottish Highlander calf backstrap hung in the smoker with alder and apple chips and plenty of water or beer in the pan... Slice it up steak-thick once there's a good dried exterior and rare inside. (some people wrap it in bacon) Served with corn on the cob and a little jelly on the steaks...  To die for.
 
Antelope hamburgers!
 
Elk cube steaks beaten to almost hamburger soaked in beer (and some other options), skewered over a wood fired BBQ until they're just rare, range high on my list.
 
Someone mentioned high mountain Blackberries.. I'll have to counter with south facing Salmonberries in their prime.
 
I got off the lawn mower last evening... Walked over to my Rainier Cherry tree... At the moment, that was one of the tastiest foods on earth.
 
As you can see, it is very difficult to pick just one food source as a favorite or best tasting. Mother Earth provides a bounty.
