Top 11, in no particular order:

  • Coconut (raw and "flowery" more so than toasted and nutty)
  • Tahini
  • Vanilla with cream / ricotta / other milky goodies
  • Rose water (with a hint of lemon or with berries)
  • Basil, with tomatoes
  • Espresso coffee
  • Caramelized onions
  • Toasted nuts (esp. hazelnuts, walnuts, pistachios and almond. The latter only if they're really good)
  • Cheese, if I had to choose one, than a good nutty and grassy Emmentaler (that's flavor-wise, taste wise I prefer a nice moldy ewe-milk cheese)
  • Beer (a good Belgian ale, or a not-to-bitter IPA, tough a good porter, amber ale and German wheat beers are close by)
  • Lychee

Honorable mentions:

  • Bread (wheat based, preferably spiced with some other grains and nuts)
  • Grilled/sauteed mushrooms (with butter)
  • Olive oil (even more so when coupled with garlic)
  • Dark chocolate
  • Tarragon, mint, anise and the like
  • Fresh and brined cheeses - ricotta, sirene, feta, mozzarella (when cooked)
  • Cumin
  • Fenugreek
  • Maple
  • Mango
  • Pineapple
  • Plums, esp. those with a bitter almond edge to them

So hard to choose :( That's not even covering stuff that are a combination of flavors e.g. five spice mixture and various spice & herbs blends used in Indian and Southeast Asia cousins, which I adore.
