Favourite 25 Dishes This Year....so far.

I usually do these lists at the end of the year, but by that time people are bored of them as there are so many others around. So I'm doing a 'best of' half way through the year as a little recap on some of our food related travels. Compiling it reminds me of all the good things I've eaten so far and how I really should go on that diet. I've tried to keep to one dinner, one dish where possible. Otherwise some places would have dominated. These are not in any real order, that would be an impossible task, just as they occur to me....
