World's best foods according to ISH

[Jasi]

I've always been curious about foods all over the world and I think the best answer to the question "what is your favourite specialty?" is "the next one I'll taste".

I think that the ISH community, which is very diverse, could be a good source for a list of world's delicacies.

So here's what I'd like to do.

1) Make a list of foods. Everyone can nominate one or more entries to this list. We will stop it when we have a decent number, I don't know how many yet.
You can nominate either generic food ("pasta") or specific recipes ("pasta carbonara"), but not individual recipes ("the pasta carbonara they make at Katz Deli").
If you nominate a generic food, it will make the list as is only if a more specific version of it hasn't been nominated. In our example, "pasta carbonara" would be included in the list so "pasta" would not.

2) Rank the foods in the list. When the list is set, we will vote in order to rank the foods. Everyone can vote.


Now, I know this isn't about sex, drugs or rock 'n roll, so most people won't feel like contributing, but hey, why not try.


THE LIST

I recently had a seabass tartare with rice and strawberries. I can't even tell you how good it tasted

There are too many kind of fishes, among other sushi ingredients, to taste.

Here are some that I've ever tried, with my grades:
Otoro - Tuna belly nigiri. It literally melted in my mouth. Other than its price, one of the best food I've ever eaten. A+
Sake - Salmon. The main type of fish served around here since it is a hell lot cheaper than tuna. It is okay but sometimes tastes greasy and slimy. B
White tuna - It is not from real tuna but a type of mackerel. It is very oily and usually served half frozen. It is toro substitute but just can't compare. C
Green dragon roll variants - Western styled avocado maki with either tempura or crab stick inside. Avocado is basically vegetable tuna fat, so it goes well with sushi rice and tastes great. A

Maybe more soon.....

I'm not familiar with this type of food: is this a list of specific versions of sushi? So should I replace "sushi" with these?
