What's your favorite dish?

My favorite dish is a traditional stew from Spain. 
Cocido madrileño ("Madrilenian stew") is a traditional chickpea-based stew from Madrid, Spain. A substantial and nourishing dish prepared with meat and vegetables: It consists of three courses: broth with vermicelli pasta; chick peas and vegetables, typically cabbage and carrots; and finally, a meat dish of spicy chorizo sausage, boiled beef, chicken, blood sausage (morcilla), chorizo and bone marrow. There are dozens of variants, and everybody says that only their mother really knows how to make it.
My favorite is the Andalusian version, which consists of two courses: the broth, the cheack peas and the vegetables all together as a first course and then the meat and fresh bacon.
