What an absolutely brilliant thread!
@defygravity - You are not a princess... you are a queen.
1. Best overseas food: Käsknöpfle [Liechtenstein]
2. Strangest overseas food: Barbacoa [Ciudad Juarez, Mexico]. Thank heavens for serviettes.
3. Best beer/spirits: "Groaerd" Riesling Grevenmacher [Luxembourg] although I'm partial to French Merlot and I don't like beer [it doesn't like me].
4. Best festival/event: EuroPride 2008 [Stockholm, Sweden]. I almost changed my passport.
5. Best place you went for vacation while overseas: Minneapolis [Utterly gobsmacked by the Minnesota Nice!] and Hong Kong.
Post Script: I saw Wicked in NYC and London Victoria. You must see how the British cast interpret "For Good" with an English accent and the audience glazed over the one-liners and American humour.

My two cents...
1. Best overseas food: I think almost every meal has been a best experience.
2. Strangest overseas food: Conch ceviche in Belize (but tasty!)
3. Best beer/spirits: All the beer was amazing in Bruges, Belgium. Just a side note that one of the major American craft breweries goes there every year to reward their long time employees.
4. Best festival/event: Edinburgh Festival Fringe
5. Best place you went for vacation while overseas: Vienna at Christmas. Especially the little teeny markets in the back streets.
@Skablictady - It's great that you picked up on the song reference! Coincidentally, I saw it in London when I was chaperoning a student trip, and will see it again next June on a student trip to NYC. Can't wait!

1. Best food....probably Thai food. I'd kill for some Penang Moo right about now.
2. Strangest food - Kopi Lewak coffee and King Cobra in Java, Indonesia.
3. Best beer - American Craft Brews, in particular Lagunitas IPA and Dogfish Head 90-minute IPA.
4. Best festival - Ice Festival in Harbin was pretty cool.
5. Best vacation - I once spent a month on Koh Phangan....that was nice.

1. Best food....Thai, hands down. I still remember a duck salad that blew my mind.
2. Strangest food - Dog in Vietnam. For the record, it's disgusting. Don't do it.
3. Best beer - Don't drink beer, but did try an awesome homemade Sake in Japan.
4. Best festival - Holi in India. Beating up blokes with a sari is cool... the colourful stuff is just a bonus.
5. Best vacation - An Elephant Sanctuary in Laos. Very humbling living beside a massive, majestic beast for a week.
