Mmmmmm, too many choices for restaurant meal.

Whole Cuban-style fried fish at the Spanish River Grille, New Smyrna Beach, is right up there.

Just about anything on the menu at Dragonfly in Columbus.

I wish I remembered the name of the little hole-in-the-wall in Chicago where I first experienced Thai food in '83. It probably isn't even there any more. The proprietors had only been in the US for six months, and I thought I'd died and gone to food heaven.

Home meals? Am I taking a lot of trouble, or doing something pretty quick? If I've got the time and energy to mess around with phyllo, it's spanakopita, hands down. For an easy meal, Phillipine mongo - whole unpeeled mung beans with spinach, tomatoes and lime juice, served over rice. Hah, spinach in both. Yummy!
