The meal you can´t forget...

I am sure there is a meal or a dish that you´ll never forget. The smell, the taste, the atmosphere...
To me, my grandma´s stewed rhubarb with cream is the dish the has made an everlasting impact in my memory. Grandma died 34 years ago, but I still can feel the smooth taste of the rhubarb and cream in my mouth and vividly picture stirring the cream into the red rhubarb stew. And of course, the memory of this dessert also awakes memories of the smell of my grandma, her soft skin, the clean sheets of her bed and crawling into her bed in the morning waking her up...The nooks and corners and long dark corridors and paintings and nicknack in her house, the doll house in the garden and my aunts dolls that I was allowed to play with...
The other day, I had a mail from Mason in Denver, who had eaten a dish he couldn´t forget, in a Greek pub in Utah. Now he was searching for the recipe, which isn´t so easy when you don´t even know what the dish is called. From his description I guessed it´s a version of Bekri Meze, The Drunkard´s Appetizers - a truly unforgettable Greek meze! Get the recipe here.
Now, tell me - what´s the meal you will always remember?
