I know you are all probably sick of all the photographs, so I’ve decided to list my ten favorite dishes. This list doesn’t mean they are they dishes I would order because they are perhaps hard to come by around my part of the world. No. This list is not compiled based on availability. If I opened a menu and could order anything in the world, this would be the order in which I would order.

1. Malaysian Indian Mee Goreng. (It’s not going to be good unless it’s neon orange and the cook is barefoot, wearing a sarong, and topless. Only the most authentic for this girl!)

2. Scottish Haggis (Yum!) (Make as many Mike Myers jokes as you care to, it doesn’t scare me one bit. I’ve had the best Haggis between Edinburgh and Glasgow and they are absolutely delish!)

3. Falafels (Who ever thought garbanzo beans and tahini peanut paste could be so wonderful?! It’s better than sex. guaranteed!)

4. Vegeterian Burritos (I refuse to eat burritos from anywhere except places where the proprietor barely speaks a word of English. That’s the best way to experience genuine burritos. If there’s the slightest hint of sports memorabilia on the wall decor, this choice is ruled out immediately.)

5. Black bean nachos (I see a bean pattern here, but I’ll order nachos whether I’m in the New York Culinary School French restaurant, or Peter Luger’s. Maybe I’m a just a bit weird.)

6. Indian curried chick Peas (extra spicy) (Well, my favorite version is my own. Take the spiciest recipe you can find online, and then multiply the spices by five times, then you have what I call, The Lite version!)

7. Eggplant lasagna (I love lasagna. Any kind, for that matter. But eggplant is a classic. My own is a bit rich in olive oil, but who cares!)

8. Sicilian Pizza (Thick and cheesy. Hey, it’s not always about the size. Oh ok, it is!)

9. White Castle cheeseburgers (Well, you’d think I’m a vegetarian by the time you get to this point of my list. But it’s a proven fact. White Castles are not beef. Everyone knows that! It’s like, steamed space aliens. Like duh?)

10. Fish and Chips (preferably wrapped in poisonous lead heavy newspaper print. Why do you think those Brits look a bit funny?!)
