Re: What's your absolute favorite meal?
This will probably sound even worse, but I think "meal" is correct and the event is "dinner".
I know what you're going for, though- my favorite dinner has to be Thanksgiving 1986. It was the last holiday meal I had with my grandfather. Two grandmas and a mother cooking for days, no divorce, both of my brothers at home for dinner, great uncle- all the family I had known my entire life.
It was a grand feast, nourishing to the soul as well as body (though I didn't appreciate it then.)

Re: What's your absolute favorite meal?
Thanks MdR Dave, I believe your fine tuning is right, even if for some the terms are interchangeable. I was expecting someone from the US to give us a Thanksgiving experience, good one!
Not sure if you know the work of Margaret Visser, I think she is an under-rated talent, and loved this book when I read it many tears ago:

Re: What's your absolute favorite meal?
I've not seen that one. I read her "Rituals of Dinner" some years ago too. Very interesting book.
My absolute favourite meal... observing the precision of the question ... is a wonderful breakfast.

Re: What's your absolute favorite meal?
Feck the precision of the question, I'll answer as i please!
A large bowl of Bread & Butter Pudding, or possibly, Pancakes (that's British style pancakes, not those scotch/American monstrosities)!

Re: What's your absolute favorite meal?
I agree, but not the traditional full English/Scottish.
For me it's either kippers, smoked haddock or smoked salmon with scrambled eggs.
The kippers? At the Crinan Hotel, overlooking the Sound of Jura on the west coast of Scotland. Smoked haddock at Simpsons in the Strand, and the smoked salmon on the last glorious days of GNER on the East Coast Main Line when they still did pullman service.
But pleasures are like poppies spread
You seize the flow'r, the bloom is shed

Hey Ben, what's up with the disappointed looking gal holding up three fingers? You allow yourself to get measured?
