Food & Drink

This is where people everywhere share the food they’d cross a city for.

Say hello in one line, and you’re in.

Name it and where.

A street stall counts.

If you had one evening and one fixed budget, would you spend it on exceptional food in a simple place, or pay more for atmosphere and service?

Neither is wrong.

Not the best restaurant in town.

The meal that costs almost nothing and is still worth the wait.

Name the city, the place and the one thing to order.

One line is enough.

Let's build the list together.

One food per answer: what it is, where to try it and why it's worth the trip.

Cheap and unforgettable.

A street stall counts.

Pick one, then tell us the breakfast that proves it.

Look for places where local people queue at lunchtime.

A short menu usually means it's made fresh.

Ask a driver or a shopkeeper where they eat, not where they'd send a visitor.

Breakfast changes more from country to country than any other meal.

Rice, beans, bread, noodles, or nothing at all.

Some combinations make no sense until you try them.

Sweet and salty, an unexpected topping, or two foods you would never normally put together.

BEST OF asks: which lunch travels neatly and tastes good cold?

Share one you actually make.

Anywhere in the world.

Why that one?

Pick a side, then make your case.

Moved away, or travelled for a long time?

There's always one dish nothing else replaces.

Some meals are great fresh.

Others somehow improve after a night in the fridge.

Start the list.

The best ideas rise.

No recipe needed.

Just what you throw together.

Both are allowed.

Only one is right.

Eggs, rice, an onion and a tin of tomatoes already make a meal: fried rice, shakshuka, tomato pasta, an omelette, or rice with a fried egg.

Every city has one famous place with a queue outside.

Some deserve it.

Some don't.

Exams, weddings, first days.

The meal you remember.

BEST OF asks: what dessert lets guests choose their own toppings?

It should be simple to serve.

The one you still think about.

Brownies, lasagne, mac and cheese.

Choose your life.

Everyone orders the famous dish.

The best thing is often sitting quietly further down the menu.

What changed your mind?

Plane, train or road trip.

What travels well?

Bread, filling, where.

Every detail matters.

Two ways the world does it.

Which is fairer?

Your best tricks, from experience.

Five steps is plenty.

Where’s home, and what’s the dish?

BEST OF asks: what would you cook with one pan and little washing-up?

Name a reliable favourite.

Where were you, and what did it cost?

It’s divided households for decades.

Be brave.

Be kind.

Add one food that makes a small spoon feel unhelpful.

One ingredient or one habit.

Rule followers versus free spirits.

Help fill in this outline.

One useful word or example is enough.

Forever.

No changing your mind.

Contribute just one detail that helps someone choose.

Cocktail, mocktail, anything.

What do you always order?

Mornings are a matter of order.

Bread, garlic, a barbecue next door…

Add one ingredient people seem to love or leave behind.

Where were you, and would you eat it again?

One has more crust; the other has more softness.

Defend your slice.

Pineapple on pizza.

Ketchup on eggs.

Milk in first.

Everyone has one.

Name something you once disliked and the moment it won you over.

The one you reach for after a long day.

If the filling falls out at the first bite, has the design failed?

What small step do you skip without missing the result?

Add a small kitchen success you know from experience.

Your pick, and the one dish that proves it.

Think of the same food eaten inside and outside.

Did the setting change your enjoyment?

It does not need to have turned out well.

Maybe foods cannot touch, or a certain mug is required.

Choose one favourite and tell us why cutlery would spoil it.

Pick the bowl you would finish first.

Name your default.

No need to make it sound impressive.

Add one touch you actually enjoy using or finding.

Pick one sauce and the meal it rescues for you.

Sometimes smooth is the whole point.

Defend the crunch or the custard.

Everyone else can disagree.

What keeps appearing on your plate?

Espresso, filter, instant, iced, with cardamom, with condensed milk.

Coffee is made a hundred ways.

Name your favourite and what keeps it from getting boring.

Same people, same meal.

Which arrangement makes dinner better?

Name the bit you secretly hope nobody else takes.

Tell us why.

Triangles, rectangles or whole: can the same filling feel different?

A little sweetness can start a big argument.

Where do you stand?

Pick one and tell us what makes it your first choice.

More choice is not always more useful.

Which menu do you want?

Pick a favourite crunchy food and tell us why its texture wins.

Choose what you want in the middle of a bite.

Think of a meal where the placement really matters.

Pick your favourite and explain what it adds.

A shared meal or a quick photo: what gets priority at your table?

Name your favourite seasonal fruit and what makes the wait worthwhile.

It is the best bite on your plate.

Someone wants a taste.

Think of a meal where the supposed supporting dish won.

Name one combination and why the alternatives never quite replace it.

Both sound good.
