Thai som tam salad or a fresh chilli and herb steamed fish. Most things in Thailand, really.
Sushi. I never used to like fish until I tried one of the sushi places at the Tokyo fish market and since then have been eating more and more fish over time
The stuffed figs at Avec in Chicago or the duck at Momofuku Ssam in New York.
Chimichurri on real steak in Argentina
Mozambiquan peri peri sauce. South African BBQ. Zimbabwean steak
Australian hamburgers or steak sandwiches with beetroot, pineapple and egg
Anything from a Singaporian hawker stand
Ding Tai Fung dim sum. My first time was at the original venue in Taipei
Morning pho in Vietnam
Amazing kebabs or durum in Berlin
Pot noodle on the Trans-Siberian

Peking Duck at Bianyifang in Beijing last year, went with my dad after graduating college. Would go back to PEK just to get some of that Duck.
Char Siu BBQ pork at Joy Hing in Hong Kong. Have since upgrading to goose and pork at Kam's Roast Goose. Gonna try Yat Lok on my next go.
Looking forward to trying Lechon in Cebu with my wife while visiting her family later this summer.

I've spent Christmas week in Paris the past few years and always brought Beurre Bordier home with me. I pack it in plastic storage containers and put them in an insulated bag. It's cold enough that time of year to make it home just fine when packed in my checked luggage.
