Foods to try before you die

[Soupervan]

Short story shorter I've had mouth issues for a long while, finally had oral surgery and am now moved up from liquid foods to soft (I forgot just plain salt and peppered eggs were so good) and assuming everything goes well in two weeks I'll be able to eat like a normal human being for the first time in ages.
So, what should I eat that a regular American teenager (when my problems started) wouldn't have?
I've tried burgers, fries, pizza, fish and chips and all that popular stuff already- and am eager for it again but what else?

Already on my list is 'Blooming onions', they weren't popular when my problems started and those commercials about them since have my mouth watering in fury.

A good chili is hard to top.

Baked potatoes, especially with the right toppings, are pretty amazing too.

Personally I really love good bread. It's simple, but can be really nice.

Though I've heard it's not as much of a thing in the US.

Oddly enough, you might want to try Afghan flat bread... just lightly toasted and dipped in some olive oil + dried herbs... amazing.

While you're at it, try shawarma - lamb or chicken, up to you - and some toum (garlic sauce) as well.

From a different part of the world, you really can't go wrong with pad kee mao, otherwise known as drunken/drunkard's noodles. I like 'em way more than pad thai, and I love a good pad thai.

Oh, and if you've got an Ethiopian place near you, get some awaze tibs. So damn tasty. The bread might take some getting used to - it's soft and kind of tangy - but when the gravy soaks into it, you'll want to scoop it up with dry bread like it's a meal in and of itself.

Potatoes have always been one of my favorites, unless it came out in the past decade or so or is foreign I doubt there's a potato dish I didn't try, Personally my favorite was twice baked potatoes, it's pretty much got everything, a crispy almost french fry like exterior followed by mashed potatoes loaded up with bacon and cheese and whatnot.

Chili is def added to my list though- I was a wimp when it came to spices as a kid, along with pad thai/pad kee mao- had neither and figure both sound alright, (If you want kids to want to try Asian food maybe don't put inside-out ducks in your window fronts, those scared me off back then but now I know Asians eat more than inside-out animals) Afgan flat bread, awaze tibs and toum especially, pretty much everything but shawarma which is added to the maybes, didn't like lamb as a kid though my tastes mighta changed since then and I might find a place with chicken shawarma- didn't know that was a thing.

A good Tiramisu, I recently had one for my birthday on the 14th and I really loved it.

I do not know if it is common in America or not, but if you have never had sandwich cake, I recommend you give it a chance. I fell in love at first taste as a child.

A big juicy succulent steak, you can never go wrong with steak. Either that or eat some seafood
