Lizard Island, Australia. My wife and I celebrated our 15th anniversary with dinner on the beach. Oysters, kangaroo, cheese souffle, mussels and lentils, beef fillets. Dessert was a cheese plate, igloos with coconut sorbet and chocolate fondant.

The above was pretty elaborate, though I must say that everything I ate during 2 trips to Namibia was much simpler, but just as good.

Cyprus has fish taverns. Go...

Swordfish dinner at Praia, Terceira Island, Azores.

Pork souvlaki, with beer, in Athens.

The beer was nothing to write home about, but then, neither was the souvlaki.

Pizza Margherita in Venice, Italy served with a side of salted anchovies and a nice red.

A lamb roasted over an open fire in Argentina last year at Jurassic Lake was special...

An evening at a Taiwanese shrimp "fishing" place where you pay by the hour to "fish" for farmed shrimp... and they grill them and serve to your order.

The shrimp were nothing even close to special, but the whole experience was.

An oil-rig camp off the Beaufort Sea coast with a nearly unlimited grub budget laid down some mighty fine food on a regular basis...

It's hard to top genuine Kobe beef, but I have to say that the BEST meal I ever had was kid goat roasted over mesquite just across the Rio Grande in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico.

Cabrito, rice, tortillas, and a pitcher of tequila sours all for about $5.

Cabrito is my all-time, runaway, favorite meat after that one meal - and has been for half a century now.

Giordano's pizza, Chicago...That's not the US, right?

It is a small world. I have had swordfish in the Azores as well.

Crazy Sheep, a hole-in-the-wall restaurant downtown Rome.

I can provide all the Kudu you desire cooked and served to perfection in my lodge. Just Email or PM me.

My first time in France many years ago. Spent two weeks there and can't say I had an acquired taste for French food, then I went down to Marseille. Best meal ever....Bouillabaisse in a little restaurant right on the water where the local fishermen bring in their daily catch. I have since tried Bouillabaisse in many places around the world....but nothing has compared since.

Cool, I'd like to try Kudu.

A simple plate of sausages and potato salad at the Augustiner Grossgastatte in Munich. Not so much because of the food, which was very good, but because of location, circumstances, and company.

Out of respect for you i won't tell the two residents of my back yard of your barbarian taste buds.

Granted I've eaten in Mexico and it was good. And in Canada quite often, it was good too. And when I was young, we were in Europe here and there for a couple of weeks, I have not come away from any of them with anything that was just unforgettable. But then again I often consider food to be just a need.

That said relatives in BC served the first ever moose roast I'd had, I've been a sucker for moose ever since. And the first pirogi's I'd ever had and those rated fairly high.

Of course my tastes are pretty mundane, but I'll take fried catfish, halibut tacos, fried halibut, baked salmon, home made buttered noodles, cabbage and corn off the pit and so on over most anything most any day.

Bacon wrapped mystery dogs tijuana mex. 4am any sat or sun morning while stiil drunk and pre puke.

Had some beef tenderloin with demi glace and some sort of pastry with potatoes and wild mushrooms in it, in the Hell-hole of the Pacific, was probably the best meal in a restaurant.

The grass fed beef in NZ tops anything I've had in the U.S., and the lamb....

I'm envious of those who've eaten the African antelope at the source.

While living on my sailboat off of the Great Barrier reef we caught a 50 pound Bluefin tuna and invited a bunch of other yachties to a small island for a feast. Every boat brought something fresh caught.

The most memorable for me was actually on a dive trip in Thailand. We dove twice in the morning, anchored off a small island and waded ashore to an open air market / kitchen. I picked out what I wanted and they cooked it while we watched. We all sat at long tables feasting, and enjoying ourselves 30 yards from the water.
