What is the best dish you have ever had in a foreign country? (shrimp, european)

[Miaiam]

Obviously traditional, typical dishes are usually mastered where they were created (e.g. sushi in Japan), but sometimes one can also have delicious food at a place where the best dish was the least expected.

So, what is the best dish you have ever had in a foreign country?

...a taco in Mexico. Sugar apple pie in Bahamas.

I had Bulgoi in Korea, and I must say it's one of my favorite dishes.

European ice cream and breads, pastries. Sweden and The Netherlands didn't disappoint and I can remember specific experiences.

As for a full meal, I will take the good ole USA.

The best meal was actually the most memorable because of the location. Shrimp creole on the beach at Mary's Boon in SXM. We were the only ones there and it was perfect as we finished dinner during the sunset. Spectacular!

Well, for me the U.S is foreign, so I'd say a cross between Cajun Seafood Pasta, and Pulled Pork Po' Boys. Mind you, the Mexican food in Mexico was pretty darn good, but the size of the Maragarita means I can't recall what we actually ate. (We were only there for a day).

Real haggis in Scotland. It looked gross, and the description of its contents is gross, but it smelled yummy and once I tasted it, it was absolutely addictive. I've been craving haggis ever since.

Braised guajolote in Oaxacan black mole with herb rice. Dont forget the Bohemia Negro

I had duck a l'orange in France. Mmmmmmm. Probably one of the best meals I have ever had, hands down.

Green chicken curry in Thailand, with a nice tall Singha on the side.
