Favourite food

[jaiganes]

Guys ! tired of serious discussions and "locked up" and "to be deleted " threads.
Lets discuss the quintissential "Soathu prachinai" (eng :translation; food problem).
When I was a kid (trus me I was , once upon a time), I had a big crush on the following dishes which my granny used to make.
1. Milagu Rasam.(APJ Abdul Kamal's fave)
2. Sundakkai Vathhakozhambu (I donno english translation)
3. Thakkali Sambar (tomato sambar)
4. Araikeerai and Molai Keerai (some variety of spinaches)
5. Manjal Karisilanganni keerai (another spinach variety good for Jaundice patients, I took it when I had jaundice when I was a kid) Where is this plant nowadays?
6. MoarKuzhambu (curd sambaar?)
7. Arisi Appalam
8. Urula kizhangu kari (potato fry)
9. Kathirikkai Kari (brinjal kari- very spicy)
10. moar milagai

The greatest fun of all is to sit in a circle around my granny along with my cousins and brother, listening to Ramayan and Mahabaratham(edited, distilled and censored version). The food tasted million times better this way(why?).
I am looking forward to hearing hubbers' experience on their favourite food and how best they enjoyed it with their family and friends.

Though this thread seems to be too south indian, hubbers from all around the world are welcome to pitch in with their experiences.
