@chyni I'm Chinese but there are truly too many good Chinese dishes so three I would recommend from my parents home town of Chongqing are hotpot, Chongqing noodles and brown sugar glutinous rice cakes!

@chyni ok so I'm in the UK and as head ambassador chef person the three dishes I recommend is 

a full English breakfast (bacon, sausage, egg, hashbrowns, mushrooms, beans and toast)

Fish and chips. (Always with a battered cod)

Welsh rarebit (this is Wales signature dish, and it's actually just cheese on toast)

Special extra dish recomendation..... Icecream😋

@chyni  I grew up in the Southeastern United States, with a really tough great grandma that thrived through the Great Depression, and these would be the three that I would say she taught me that I really love (and most people hate, if they did not grow up with it lol).

Collard Greens with Fried Cornbread

Black Eyed Peas with Buttered Rice

Fried Liver 'n Onions with Dark, Rich Gravy over Buttered Rice

She's been off in heaven, looking for a mansion with an amazing kitchen for us to share for about 13 years now and when I want to feel like she is here, I cook any one of these dishes (I dont have recipes, I just remember it, a dab of this and a dab of that to taste lol) and they are sooooo good.  

Thanks for sharing, everyone!  I looooove to look up new dishes and try them! 😀

(Honorable Mention: Chicken Pot Pie would be the comfort food from childhood that I would make and share, if a guest were to ask me to cook.  It is delicious and everyone likes it!)

@niceSea1350 I'll have some chicken pot pie please 😁 and icecream for dessert😋

Those dishes sound so gross 😝 but I'm sure your sweet amazing grandma made them delicious with a extra dab of love ❤❤

@Tinywhisper11  @Tinywhisper11  What a coincidence!  I just put some Chicken Pot Pie in the freezer yesterday, and I have ice cream.  Bourbon vanilla (I usually add Reese's cups, caramel sauce, whipped cream and sprinkles).  You are welcome!  😁🥰

And yes, everyone says that, and yes, I would probably agree, if not for my grandma.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

So sweet of thought. Other day my friend couldnt think of a meal to make with no noodles and they didn't want Mexican. So i recommend pot pie and my pan . They are vegan two days a week so went just the vegetables pot pie. I altered the recipe with fake Mac n cheese as optional side dish .(I blend nutritional yeast, mustard, lime juice to make a consistency and taste similar)

@sadcat13 also we have this meal called šúlance what is basically potato based dough, and can be filled or topped with different things, best ones are with poppy seeds in my oppinion.

A Filipino dish that you’ll never get tired of is Adobo, a Stewed chicken Or pork in garlic, bay leaves, Pepper corn, siysauce and vinegar ( though its versatile theres so many versions and Style of cooking) . Another one is Sinigang, a soup stewed characterized with each sour and savoury taste. One of the more popular dishes in Filipino Cuisine. It has variations of Chicken, Pork, beef, shrimp, vegetables, long green Pepper , onions and the main ingredients Tamarind ( though now to make it easier if tamarind isnt available , theres a ta,ari nd soup base in Asian Groceries). Who can say no to Cheesecake as dessert. Citrus Cheesecake is one of my specialty to make .

If you're asking about England: fish and chips, roast lamb, shepherd's pie.

If you're asking about Sri Lanka: hoppers, kothu roti, pol roti (the thick kind you eat with spicy chicken and katta sambol, and the thin kind you eat with butter and sugar!)
