Sushi, definitely. Not one of those wimpy rolls, I want the real deal, preferrably high quality maguro. Have you ever seen one of those fishes? They have increadibly large variety of edible parts with different textures and tastes. The flesh isn't the only edible part. There are wines from their spines and other bones, and eyeballs and general head parts in particular are considered delicacies... A beginner might feel a little squirmish at first at the prospect of eating 'everything' a gigantic fish has to offer, but think of hot dogs. Hot dogs are infinitely more disgusting than a carefully prepared delicacy prepared by a master's hand.
Pizza comes in the second. I love Italian food. Not as much as I love the Japanese cuisine, but decent Japanese food in the NYC are so ridiculously overpriced for their quality. Italian food, however, are cheap, usually well made, extremely tasty and goes well with variety of wines. Among all the Italian foods on the palette, pizza stands out as one of the finest culinary creation ever made! So versatile, so rich, and yet there is certain depth that draws the line between amateur crafters of pizza and masters of the art. If only I didn't have such a predilection for sushi (and variety of sashimi) pizza would certainly take the top spot as one food I'm willing to spend my life with.
The third place... I say wine. I'm cheating here, of course, since wines aren't foods in conventional sense of the term. But seriously, I can't think of my life without wine. Not that I'm wasted 24/7, of course. Getting drunk out of mind is a hallmark of immature mind (in most cases). Wines are more of alcoholic tea rather than, say, beer (yuk). Glasses of good wines are referred to as having their unmistakable bouquet, and it is a very suitable term... The problem would be that I'd probably starve to death if forced through the diet of wines alone...
