Fried Ipswich whole belly clams are the best! We get them here (most come from Maine) spring to fall. Not cheap, but a real delicacy!

I grew up in New England. Left there seven years ago. For much of my life I lived on the water. Upper Narragansett Bay. I got all my own seafood growing up. Many of my friends were fisherman.
My family settled Block Island, although I never lived there.
Seafood is my favorite food. Fried Clams were my absolute favorite since I was little. I miss it a lot!
Steamed Old Bay blue crabs! And nothing like fresh fried clams from a roadside stand in Maine. (https://bobsclamhut.com/) And I'll take a plate of sautéed or grilled dry scallops any day. On the turf side, a nice thick rib eye done cavemen style on the grill is hard to beat.

Pork Roll! (I kid!)
It's a tie between a Steak Sandwich and BBQ Pork!

Tough question. If I was consulted before the meal was planned/cooked or ordered, there is a very good chance that whatever was served will be my favorite food at least until the next meal.
If we focus on meals and not just a single component, many of my favorite meals include bread, cheese and cooked tomato. So pizza is an obvious candidate but so is plain old spaghetti with a side of garlic bread. I almost never turn down a chance at fresh Maine lobster, boiled, but there some lobster rolls that just are not worth eating. Tough question. Thanks.

One of my most memorable dining experiences was at a monastery in Germany. We sat at the bar and had homemade bread, sliced fresh tomatoes, stinky cheese, and, of course, beer.
Then we went downstairs for a meal! Can't remember what we had exactly because the appetizers were so outstanding.

Probably the best meal I ever ate at was at The Chesapeake Bay Seafood Co. back in the '90's, in Maryland: All the seafood you can eat, including crab and lobster. They lost money on me and my friend.
I could definitely like that place!

Local chain. I ate there a lot. I seem to recall eating a lot of peel and eat shrimp. Being a creature of habit I recall alternating between a couple of entrees. I never figured out how they made their money. Maybe other diners bought sodas or other drinks.
Well, yeah, we had a few toddys there too.

Since I threw Whipped Cream out there as food, I'd say Ice Cream definitely counts. And they go together really well. Hardly ever eat either of them though. Why is it all the really GOOD stuff is bad for you??Does ice cream count as food? If so, add it to my list.
