So... which do you prefer?

Japanese and Americanized Chinese

1st vote for Chinese!

(Not from Israel BTW)

Indian is some of the most delicious food I have ever tasted. The spices, the wonderful sauces... even the rice is extraordinary. Basmati... yum. :D

Asian Fusion.

You should be on Jenny Jones (Jenny Jones drones and drones!)

Psh. Italian food hands down.

Italian food is great, but Turkish food reigns supreme over all.

By the way, how the hell did British food get on before Turkish, hmm?

Gah. Italian food just seems so... plain. It just seems like the same crap over and over again. And, also, jeez, enough with the carbo-packed foods! I mean there's only so much bread and pasta you can take.

I think more people know of haggis than they do of... whatever Turkish people eat. o_0

Edit: Sorry, mind spasm. Haggis, not hummus. :headbang:

I voted for it, you bloody savage turk!

Rule, Brittania,
Brittania rule the waves,
Britons never never never
Shall be slaves

I like Vietnamese, Greek & Indian.

Turks eat hummus....

Edit: nvm i just saw your edit

I like Vietnamese, Greek & Indian.
Ooh, yes. You have the same tastes as me. I love Greek food. Dolmas are so fucking delicious. Oh, and spanikopita. Yum! I only had Vietnamese once, but it was great. :rolleyes:

My 300th post! Yaaaay!!!!111 lol

Psh. Italian food hands down.

Damn right. Sono italiano.

I can't put any one cusine before another - every one has stuff that I absolutely adore, and other stuff that I can't stand.

Food- fresh, well prepared, and lovingly served.

I am a foodie and happily admit it.

What's with all the Italian? It's so bland! :confused:

Dont get me wrong, I occasionally enjoy a japanese or thai dish, but when it comes down to my favourite things to eat... My nana's chicken parm, gnocci, rissoto or classic spaghetti and meatballs is 239847238 times better. End of story. Mmmmm now i'm hungry.

You've obviously never had actual Italian. The Olive Garden does not count.

Oh gosh, you're an Italian girl, aren't you?

*fawns*

I miss my gram's cooking. :(

Cuisine is all about mood. Picking a favorite, for me, is like trying to choose which red blood cell in my entire circulatory system is the most efficient. Possible? I suppose, but pointless.

So much good food, so little time!
Greek
Italian
Mexican
Tex-Mex
Santa Fe
Thai
Indian (next time you're in Seattle, I recommend Cedars)
Chinese
Cajun
Barbecue -- any style, sauce or rub
A good ass-kicking cheeseburger

Wash whatever it is down with a lovely beverage.

SCREW THE DEBATE, LET'S EAT!

Yes, haggis is famous. But you apparently like dolmas. And dolmas are Turkish (in the sense that, when comparing cuisine, the Turks and the Greeks are extraordinarily similar). Hell! We probably have spanikopita too, except I don't know what its Turkish equivalent would be. But gyros are Turkish (except for the name which is, once again, Greek), and everyone has had a gyro. Rice pilaf, if you know it, is in essence Turkish (though if you've had it it's almost certainly a corrupted version). We also have baklava (the Greeks have some too, but at this we easily trump them). And we have pide, which few people seem to know about, but which everyone seems to universally love. Plus we have Iskender doner (which is my personal favorite and is being thrown in just because of this, in spite of the fact that very few folks stateside know it).

I voted for it, you bloody savage turk!

I hope you burn in hell. (I mean that in the nicest possible way of course. [And only if you continue to insist on your food; sinners may repent, after all.])

No, no, there's a little family owned joint near us. Great food, for Italian. But the stuff still doesn't compare with any other cuisine.

Oh gosh, you're an Italian girl, aren't you?

I'm a mixed bag... Italian Romanian and British. :)

Polish food is outstanding as well. I love going over my buddy Jeff's house for dinner. Mmm...Polish kielbasa....

Greek


It appears that the Turkish Propaganda Machine has some work to do.

You've still got some Italian in you, though.

*fawns more*

Dinner time in few hours! :D

I vote British. I would have voted Turkish, but I don't eat yoghurt, and from what I've seen, that's all Turkish food is.

*takes on her angry Greek accent*

How dare you! You people are the reason all my grandparents moved over here! You just want to be Greek, and you know it! :mad:

:p

Brazilian food is also heavenly. I had some authentic Brazilian food a few years ago; it was the most amazing food ever.

TURKISH PROPAGANDA ADVERT:

"If you haven't had Turkish food, you Ottaman!"




(..."oughta, man..." get it? please don't hurt me...)

*fawns more*
I do have Italian in me, in fact its the predominant culture in my family. I've even been overseas to visit Venice and Rome.

(you may resume fawning :p )

Oooh, I haven't been to Italy yet. I want to go soooooooo badly. Florence and Venice and Milan and Pisae and Rome and Naples and Siciliy and.... :(

*fawns and envies*

I vote British. I would have voted Turkish, but I don't eat yoghurt, and from what I've seen, that's all Turkish food is.

That actually is sort of true. I mean... yogurt is everywhere. Hell, we drink yogurt (and might I say, it's delicious). It is, however, possible to get by on great food and abstain from yogurt consumption. Trust me, my two sisters both did it last time we were over there. (Even though my vegan cousin didn't! Ha! And hurray for yogurt!)

*takes on her angry Greek accent*

I'd put on an angry Turkish accent, except that none exists. ):

If at any point we become angry, we merely revert to Turkish or we simply don't have accents. So I'll just scoff dismissively and walk away. (And note parenthetically that you guys are just jealous cause no one likes your baklava.) ;)

:D It really is the most beautiful place in the world, once you get over the smelly water.

Yes, I work with several Turks, and I've heard of this legendary drink. I understand that the main ingredients are yoghurt and salt. As for Greeks, I've tried gyros before. I hate sour cream, too. Hasn't all this warring between Turks and Greeks been about whose form of rotten milk is better?

Probably better than what the fellows in the advertising department have come up with. It's unfortunate, but, even though many Turks speak some form of English, it's all-too-rare to find a document not riddled with grammatical errors. I got a book about Atatürk translated into English once, but it was so sad because it was unreadable. ):

But now that I come to think of it, we don't really do enough advertising for Turkey. That's why they need me! ^.^

Haha, eww.

I can't believe you've been posting here for over five months and this is the first time I've talked to you. And you're Italian! Argh! I make it my mission to flirt with every pretty girl here. I'm slipping up in my old age.

Oh, and to remain slightly on topic, Polynesian food is amazing as well. :) My freshman year roommate's girlfriend was from Hawaii and she would have us over her place for authentic Hawaiian. Mmm....

I've only really been posting with some frequency within the last month or two... before that I was a bit of a lurker, which would be the reason why I've remained somewhat under the radar. Seems to take forever to get noticed around here. Le sigh.

On a completely unrelated note, I've decided that Mediterranian food's pretty yummy, except that I don't care much for olives. Why people actually eat the bloody things is beyond me.

Well I'll notice you now that I know you're Italian. I guess I don't really remember what it's like not to be know on this forum. ;) It's been so long.

Actually, I despise olives as well, but I love cooking with olive oil. Go figure. And they're in so much Mediterranean food.

It's hard not to be noticed with a title like "Honorary Spam Forum Owner," I mean you are closing in on 12K posts.

But alas I must get some sleep tonight. It's 3:28 AM and I've got finals to worry about. It was nice talking to Sdaeriji. Fellow Italians are always wonderful conversationalists :).

Indeed. I am currently like 6th or 7th highest poster. I've been around for a while.

Well, goodnight there hun. It certainly was a pleasure talking to you. Shoot me a TG sometime if you feel like it, mmk?

*fawns*

(Ours is.)

I hear that the French also have a contender. They don't just let the milk rot until it's thick. They let it go to a total solid, and then rot even more back to a liquid.

I can't put any one cusine before another - every one has stuff that I absolutely adore, and other stuff that I can't stand.

I'm the same. :)

Also on the pilaf issue; it's one of those dishes that gets around. ;) In Indian cooking there's the pilau variant, which is SO GOOD! It's meat and vegies marinated in spices and yoghurt cooked in a whole heap on lentils and covered in basmati rice. The whole lot is baked in the oven and topped with caramelised onion rings at the end.

*drools*

I miss my mum's cooking! :p

italian food rocks. chineese food rocks too (as do many of the others), but italian is supreme. we've always eaten mediteranian (italian, greek, spanish, etc) food in our family - to the extent that we practically ignore 'traditional english/british' food. i don't know what half of our traditional national dishes are as a result, but i don't care cos italian rocks!

Cajun, damn you, Cajun!

How come everyone always forgets Cajun?
