20. I know what would hook me, but it probably wouldn't play west of Karachi

A burger with a thick slice of fresh eggplant that had been lightly soaked in olive oil, and then grilled with a big generous spoonful of Brinjal Pickle in it.

Moist, spicy, I would probably order three per visit, and not leave a crumb even if I weren't hungry. Fortunately, my wife makes them here, so I don't go wanting. Probably no one in the west would go within ten feet of one, but I could survive on them.
