Oyster stew, clam chowder, fish chowder, and real home-made macaroni and cheese come to mind. Scalloped potatoes with a nice Vermont cheddar is really good, too.

+1 for poached fish. A bay leaf, a good amount of seasoning, a cinnamon stick, and a squirt of lemon juice at the end. Perfect for any white fish.

Red meat baked in yogurt. When baked, yogurt turns more sour, which balances out against the meat (same concept as having wine or putting lemon juice on the meat, as the French have been observed to do).
