Which cuisine is your favorite? Mine is Vietnamese, followed very closely by Ethiopian.

Poll coming.

I have to go with Italian, I love Italian food.

thai and north african and cypriot.

Italian FTW!

Italian FTW!

I will know become the object of the thread I created earlier. I have no idea what FTW means at all. :confused:

Burritos are the perfect form of food.

I will know become the object of the thread I created earlier. I have no idea what FTW means at all. :confused:

For The Win.

Depends. I think that, very possibly one of the best cuisines in the world is Italian, then Chinese and Cajun. I'm also fond of American regional cuisines.
Most people seem to think that American food runs to meat, potatoes and bad beer, but seafood on any of the coasts is great (New England clam chowder done right is as good as any bouillabaise). Gumbo, jambalaya, oyster po' boys, muffalettas - all wonderful. And America has perfected the art of grilling.

Greek, Italian, Mexican.

I think American is more of a twist on the old world rather than a separate category, unless you meant indigenous. I think we have a bunch of vegetables that never grew in Europe until they were brough back over there - corn and the potato, I believe, are examples. I guess we could take credit for some of that stuff, but maybe not. :p

So I like old world stuff, and also the New World take on it in many cases. :)

I think it's a reference to Hollywood Squares, oddly enough. :p

Hm, didn't know that.

Mexican.

The hotter the better.

I like Italian, and Mexican.

'course, nothing beats native cuisine. But foreign cuisine, I'd prolly go with Italian.

Native to what?

I was gonna ask the same thing. :p

Native to what?
er, my country?

Hungary?

Goulash is one of my favorite kinds of stew, provided you don't forget the sour cream. :)

Indian and similar - I always look forward to visiting my girlfriend's parents, because her mum's a great cook and does some excellent traditional Sri Lankan dishes.

Greek, Spanish and Thai are also very good.

Human cuisine is usually fairly appealing.

Hungary?
*buzzer* Incorrect. But I'd like to have a taste of goulash, though. The word sounds nice.

I play at home ...italian cuisine!:D Probably for habit ...

What do you mean for American Cuisine? what are typical dish from U.S.A.? (it's not an offensive question ... just to know...)

Goulash is GOOD!

It's great - technically, any kind of meat will do, but there's a traditional way with certain spices (not just paprika :p) that I've had at a few places that's just outstanding. I think 'goulash' is just the Hungarian word for 'people,' meaning it's sort of the generic or traditional stew, so there's lots of different ways, but there seems to be some agreement on the general flavor. :p

Take every food you can think of, load it into a truck, and drive it at full speed into a brick wall. You should find pieces of it everywhere afterward. :p

Really though, American food is just a twist, I think. Europe had the steak sandwich, and we added a bunch of stuff to it and made burgers - then burgers got tiny, and then they got huge, and so on. There's regional stuff like Maine lobster (lobster was considered filthy until Maine improved its PR :p), Tex-Mex, Cajun, indigenous vegetables, the Denver Omelet, adding Mexican spices to things at random (salsa and tobasco on eggs), buffalo steak (I don't think anyone else has buffalo, outside small asian waterbuffalo), the potato, fried cheese, fried tomatoes, pizza as we know it today (last century's Italian import was supposedly thin and toastlike) including deep-dish, Alaskan King Crab and salmon maybe, carnival food (corn dogs, funnel cake, etc.) hot dogs (sort of evolved from sausage, which of course is universal), and the list goes on. I think most of that stuff is somewhat new. :)

What on earth is American cuisine?

My favourite cuisine is my own. ;)

America has been the melting pot of cuisines due to its diversity.

Fried Chicken and French Fries?

Nope. The chicken recipe is traditionally Austrian, Backhendl, and the "French Fries" are Beglian...

I like Indian food... ow wait... that country is called Indonesia these days:p

Nope. The chicken recipe is traditionally Austrian, Backhendl, and the "French Fries" are Beglian...
Oooh, I learn something from NSG everyday! :)

I leave it to NS General to guess how I voted.

Rejistania is not allowed to help.

Frying meat in oil is Austrian? Really? :p If I had to guess, I'd think people have been doing that ever since fire and oil were both known to mankind. ;)

Nope, but coating meat in flour, eggs and breadcrumbs (http://www.recipeland.com/recipe/33879/) and THEN frying it in oil is Austrian :p
According to the German wiki, it's been known since the early 18th century in Vienna. They do the same with pork, btw.

Guess? It's a public poll...

So, how did I vote? :D

I have yet to find a country with a gastronomy so rich and diverse as Portugal and Italy. These are, by far, my favorite cuisines.

What the hell is "American cuisine" anyway?

second that on portugal. i've loved every meal i've had there.

i'm guessing Maccy D's and deep pan pizzas and other such rot. maybe cajun chicken, that is good.

Well, I must say that even though pizza is Italian food I'd prefer to try it New York style, from what I hear they're the best

I've had it once, I still prefer the really thin and crispy Italian style.

Italian and Chinese. The second best roast beef in the world is made buy this lovely little chinese woman named Win-gee who works at one of the restaraunts around here. And I make a kickass lasagna!

All cuisine is good! I haven't found many things I don't like - except for salt, pepper and butter/spread, but if I have to choose a favourite, it's gotta be curry. The Curry Mile is heaven on earth :) Mexican is also good.

What the hell is "American cuisine" anyway?

Cheeseburgers, Soda Pop, and Philly Cheesesteaks... basically anything that is very fattening, easy to cook, and very filling can probably trace its roots back to the US of A.

Indian, and also British (the traditional stuff, as well as the modern stuff which is "just about everything, ever" :p).

'American', in the sense of the above, Italian and Japanese are my favourites.

Cheesecake and hambuger? :p

I don't know about the origins of cheesecake, but I'm pretty sure hamburgers originated in Hamburg, Germany. Then again, that's assuming "hambuger" was a typo, when in fact it may be something completely different.

It was a tough choice, but I decided to put Italian first, closely followed by Chinese and Japanese, I love fried udon noodles.

I have to go with Italian, I love Italian food.

I WOULD go with that -- only I cook it all the time. Thai, Vietnamese, and Puerto Rican dishes ftw.

I play at home ...italian cuisine!:D Probably for habit ...

What do you mean for American Cuisine? what are typical dish from U.S.A.? (it's not an offensive question ... just to know...)

There are a lot of "traditional American cuisines"

pot roast
roast turkey
chicken of all kinds (including fried, but please, not FAST FOOD fried)
New England cuisine (running to steamed and baked seafoods, mostly)
Cajun (mostly spiced seafoods and meats)
California cuisine (mostly fresh vegetables and meats done in amazing ways)
Subs/heros/grinders -- deli sandwiches of multitudinous varieties

Come and sample -- but stay outta Taco Hell, McDonalds, and KFC. ;)

Hah. We also do it in cornflakes. :p

CURRY!!!

Greek (my homeland man) followed VERY VERY VERY closly by chinesse.

Cheeseburgers, Soda Pop, and Philly Cheesesteaks... basically anything that is very fattening, easy to cook, and very filling can probably trace its roots back to the US of A.

Yes, that's right. And all Indian food is curry, all Chinese food is fried rice and green tea, and the only foods in Italy are spaghetti and meat balls and pizza.

Grow up and quit yer flamebaits.

I'm really starting to become quite partial to Turkish foodz. Doner and Kebab and all that jazz.

Indian! And then Cajun and Italian

CURRY!!!

This makes me want to be your friend.

This makes me want to be your friend.

I love 'em. Especially the ones I cook;)

Without a doubt it would be Venezuelan cuisine. Rice, chicken, beans, and bananas go so well together. After that, it would be American with Thai food below that.

German. :p

I've had it once, I still prefer the really thin and crispy Italian style.
did you have "new york style", or did you have a slice of pizza in new york city? there is a pretty massive difference. New York Style is shit.
I don't know about the origins of cheesecake, but I'm pretty sure hamburgers originated in Hamburg, Germany. Then again, that's assuming "hambuger" was a typo, when in fact it may be something completely different.

It was a tough choice, but I decided to put Italian first, closely followed by Chinese and Japanese, I love fried udon noodles.
Hamburgers (as in a bun and patty of ground beef) were created in New Haven, CT, USA.

Favorite cuisine is New England. Crab, lobster, muscles, clam chowder, vinegar fries, apple cider doughnuts, salt water taffy, real maple syrup, bulkies, apizza, grinders...what more could you ever want? Really.

other cuisines I like: Cajun, French, Italian, Spanish, Mexican, Afghani, Ethiopian, Chinese (yeah, this is almost as accurate as "american", I know), Thai, Japanese, Indian...pretty much all of them...haha

as for American just being modifications of other places dishes, I hate to break it to you, but that is what every countries cuisine is. French is a modification of Italian, for example.
And no, it isn't just KFC, McDonalds, and BK.

Your favorite is Ethiopian, and you didn't include it? That's mine as well. Papadums FTW!

Indian?

I dont know why but all Indian food tastes like crap outside India.

I didn't think many people here would have had Ethiopian. :p

What are papadums?

I didn't think many people here would have had Ethiopian. :p

What are papadums?

I probably misspelled it. Lentil flour circles, about as thin as a crepe. You fry them for about 3 seconds and they puff up and are ridiculously good. Especially when they have peppercorns embedded in them.

Gotta be Italian, but followed closely by Thai and Chinese.

Ethiopian is one of my favorites too. I've had it, I've even cooked it myself (had to buy the injera though ;) )

Awesome!

I love injera. Smells funny, but tastes great. :D

Ethiopian is one of my favorites too. I've had it, I've even cooked it myself (had to buy the injera though ;) )

Did you make it from Teff flour or just buy it made? I'm lucky enough to have an Ethiopian aunt. Nothing beats fresh, beautifully sour Injera eaten alongside fresh coffee roasted from green beans sipped out of those beautiful little hand-painted cups. Throw in that incense they burn (tree sap - I don't know the name), and you have yourself a little slice of heaven. And she makes better Injera than I have had at any restaurant, by the way.

I like Mexican and Vietnamese food. Although, with Vietnamese, I enjoy it occasionally. My family is Vietnamese, so whenever we go out to eat, the default choice for my parents is to go to a Vietnamese restaurant. If I eat it too often, I get really tired of it.

Chinese and Italian FTW.

Japanese is also very good. And I don't really like Mexican, but Chipotle's steak fajitas are teh secks.

lol, I eat Vietnamese every week (I'm within walking distance of a Vietnamese restaurant) and I never get sick of it. :p

My mom used to cook Vietnamese food everyday, so it got really tiring. I might go for some again, since I have had any in a few months.

what is Ethiopian cuisine?

i didn't even know the Ethiopians had food.

Greek. Absolutely wonderful.

I, not being a complete racist, do not judge my food on its country of origin.

i didn't even know the Ethiopians had food.

It is truly divine... Try it sometime; I'm sure you have an Ethiopian restaurant in your neighborhood. Just look for the Rastafarian colours.

American, since we invented the hot dog, burger, pizza (That's right, the Italians didn't invent the modern day pizza. Yes, you're wrong.) and the deep fried snickers bar.

Aside from that, I'd say Vietnamese comes in close second.

Any other "foreign" cuisine isn't really even foreign cuisine. (If you live in the States that is.) We just glob onto whatever it is and deep fry it, coat it in sugar, or both. General Tso's chicken is a fine example. Oh, and it's general as in the general population.

Indian?

I dont know why but all Indian food tastes like crap outside India.

:confused: haven't you been to Manchester?

:p

Pizza (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_pizza) was invented in Naples in the 18th century, and the deep-fried mars bar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep-fried_mars_bar) originated in Scotland.

ehh....depends how I'm feeling.
At the moment I've got a thing for Italian food, but Thai, Indian (esp Northern Indian-Kashmir province), Indonesian, Mexican, Sichuan, Portugese and Vietnamese all do it for me.
I really like Vietnamese - it's a lighter fresher version of Thai.

And of course, there's times where a damn good old fashioned roast lamb dinner doesn't go amiss.

Gotta be Italian, but followed closely by Thai and Chinese.
What's Chinese cuisine?
I don't think I've ever had that.

i had to click other because mine is all of the above and anything else that doesn't eat me first.

i mean there's a few odd things i don't much care for, but not any whole cultures worth. and very few at that.

=^^=
.../\...

What's Chinese cuisine?
I don't think I've ever had that.

Kung Pao Chicken and Fried Rice with tomato sauce - dinchaknow?

Italian of course!

well, there are many italian cuisines.

My ranking goes:
1.Lombardia
2.Roma and Lazio
3.Piemonte
4.Emilia-Romagna
5.Puglia
6.Maremma (southern Tuscany)
7.Liguria
8.Sicilia

Among international cuisines, I'm quite partial to Southern German/Austrian, Czech, (former:() Jugoslav and Greek, but I also like some Swedish, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Turkish and Somali specialties, and, of course, Northern French.
Even some British cooking meets my likings.

I prefer Indonesian food.

I probably misspelled it. Lentil flour circles, about as thin as a crepe. You fry them for about 3 seconds and they puff up and are ridiculously good. Especially when they have peppercorns embedded in them.

Poppadoms (how many spellings of that are there?) are actually Indian, not Ethiopian.

And they are best with lime pickle. Mmmm :D

American, since we invented the hot dog, burger, pizza (That's right, the Italians didn't invent the modern day pizza. Yes, you're wrong.)

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

What you call "modern day pizza" is a cheap local imitation of pizza that no Italian would ever dream to touch. In Italy the "modern" pizza is very, very different from the American imitation.
The pizza, by the way, is just the last variant, in chronological order, of a typical Mediterranean serving - something served over a flat bread. Used in ancient Greece, in Egypt, in ancient Rome, in Turkey, in modern Greece ("pita" iirc), etc, etc.

from wiki.
The earliest discovered cookbook with tomato recipes was published in Naples in 1692, though the author had apparently obtained these recipes from Spanish sources.
see also the wiki on pizza.

The "burger" wasn't invented by Americans. Why? Well, it's proper name is "Hamburger", and not because it has ham in it. It's because it comes from Hamburg - Germany, that is.

The "hot dog" is just the local american name of a snack the Czech and the Poles used since the Middle Age. In the CR it is called "párek k rohlikou".

Párek
Z Wikipedie, otevřené encyklopedie
Za zemi původu párků je označováno Německo, konkrétně Frankfurt, kde podle záznamů kronikáře Achilla Augusta Lersnera byly párky prodávány již v roce 1487.


Man, the US is a nation of immigrants, and they've taken there their culinary tradition - and, of course, it has been slightly altered throughout the decades.

No, sorry...the hamburger was invented in the US. Hamburg-style steak (ground beef) or the "hamburger steak" originated in Hamburg. This was then brought to the US (specifically a place called Louis' Lunch in New Haven, CT) where they began to place the patty in a sandwich (they still serve it on pieces of bread, not buns), thus creating a hamburger. and they're still the best.

I quite like my cuisine Paul, he is a few years older than me. I used to have a crush on my cuisine Karren. But in truth we don't really see any of our cuisines, you know only at funerals and weddings.

I enjoy most foods and have tasted an extremely wide variety.

My favorite "cuisine" is my own-Cooked by my wife and me in our home.

I guess thats an American cuisine-a mix of ideas brought to the US from other countries and made better.

We dont eat a lot of cheeseburgers. Saying that is like saying all French people eat are snails and frogs.

Big deal.

So, basically, you're saying that to create a new food, you can take any one existing food and place it into a sandwich?
Hey, I invented the pastaburger! Take some spaghetti and put them into a sandwich, IT'S TOTALLY DIFFERENT!:rolleyes: Please. Really.

I pity your taste buds.:p

Actually the 'hamburger' can be traced to the Romans...

How can that be? I thought that the idea of putting anything inbetween two slices of bread was down to the earl of Sandwhich.

Which makes the hamburger ultimatly a British invention!

I enjoy most foods and have tasted an extremely wide variety.
Although your name would suggest that you enjoy meat more than anything else.:D

Say a more neutral "modified" and I'll agree.

We dont eat a lot of cheeseburgers. Saying that is like saying all French people eat are snails and frogs.
Maybe you don't eat lots of cheeseburgers... but many americans do - which is a pity, thinking of the many different styles you can get in the US.

Anyway, saying that "americans eat a lot of cheeseburgers" is quite different from saying "frenchmen eat nothing but snails and frogs", of course.

Oh, and snails and frogs have a far more complex taste that cheeseburgers. Yum!

You know you should actualy try that sometime. I love a good boil in the bag curry sandwhich.

No way. First you eat the spaghetti, then you pick up the sauce that's left on the dish with bread (a thing called "fare scarpetta" or "pucciare").

Argh, now I'm getting hungry.

I do. Meat is primarily what I eat and enjoy most.

Modified...maybe. Improved,more accurately.

Many Americans eat many things-everything is readily available-There is good quality,well prepared-as well as quick unhealthy food,readily available almost anywhere.

"Far more complex" doesnt always equate with better. Making is seem more sophisticated is a mistake. Its more the product of a cuisine based on dealing with spoiled foods.

I enjoy more simple foods.

Ah....a roll is not a slice of bread.... ;)

It is if you cut it in half! Ahhh semantics your good old freind!

No way. First you eat the spaghetti, then you pick up the sauce that's left on the dish with bread (a thing called "fare scarpetta" or "pucciare").

Argh, now I'm getting hungry.

No really, you just wouldn't do it?

Man imagine it:

You get two thick slices of crusty bread, slather them with butter, I mean thick enough that if you was to scrape it off and put it in a dal, people would be saying 'you put too much butter in your dal'. Then cut yourself a largeis slice of lasagne, and whack on to one bit o bread, place the sencond bit on top, a light squashing latter and food fit for a king!! Ahhhh man imagine that!

Shit I wanna lasagne sandwhich now.

It is if you cut it in half! Ahhh semantics your good old freind!

Then you have a sliced roll...not bread ....!

Dammit I'm hungry now!

It is if you cut it in half! Ahhh semantics your good old freind!

rolls and bread are completely different in terms of the amount of flour, milk, eggs, and yeast needed to make them.........of course I wouldn't expect someone who doesn't bake breads, rolls, crackers, etc to really know that.

Umm naaa mate I'm a Londoner!:D

Yeah-whenever I discuss food,smell it,think about it-I have an appetite.

Food- eating & its preparation is one of life's joys.

Which cuisine is your favorite? Mine is Vietnamese, followed very closely by Ethiopian.

Poll coming.

Chinese is 1a, Vietnamese 1b. Safe to say I like asian food.

Umm naaa mate I'm a Londoner!:D

I should have guessed...

What hold on right there Smunkee! You are quite the assumer today huh!

I do bake ya know.;)

Naan bread, no yeast but still bread, bread with yeast is still bread, a popadom is still bread, pitta bread, hot dog rolls, pizza base, burger rolls, ciabata, french loaf, brown, wheatgerm its all bread!

Mayhap it has summit to do with the usage, or perhaps the way it is cooked.

Poppadoms (how many spellings of that are there?) are actually Indian, not Ethiopian.

Yeah, you're right. Not sure why I associated them with Ethiopian. Oh well. The point is, they rock.

Do you have a good recipe for cooking naan breads that doesn't require a tandoor - my attempts have all been disastrous?

Yeah-whenever I discuss food,smell it,think about it-I have an appetite.

Food- eating & its preparation is one of life's joys.

I find food prepping to be incredibly calming...

I have now been away from a kitchen for about a month...and its doing my head in...I hate not being able to cook my own food...

Having said that I also very much enjoy cooking for others...thats a total kick...

Italian all the way!
American cuisine, hamburgers..?

Do you have a good recipe for cooking naan breads that doesn't require a tandoor - my attempts have all been disastrous?

At home yeah, I shall endevour to remember to bring it to work tomorrow.

Naan bread, no yeast but still bread, bread with yeast is still bread, a popadom is still bread, pitta bread, hot dog rolls, pizza base, burger rolls, ciabata, french loaf, brown, wheatgerm its all bread!

Mayhap it has summit to do with the usage, or perhaps the way it is cooked.

there is an entirely different process making fry bread and sandwich bread, and rolls and biscuits (that's scones for some people), they just aren't the same.

saying that a halved roll is the same as a slice of bread is like saying that chocolate cake is brownies.

At home yeah, I shall endevour to remember to bring it to work tomorrow.

Thanks

Which cuisine is your favorite? Mine is Vietnamese, followed very closely by Ethiopian.

Poll coming.

I mixturize my own cuisine, Kyronea-style.

...

Okay so mostly it's been American, but that's more due to what my parents make for meals than what I actually make myself. If it were up to me there would be a lot more variety. I haven't had a pita in years, for instance...

Two things:
1. What would a Corn Beef Snacker (that's me with a sliced roll and corn beef in the middle) be considered? lol

2. Wouldn't "Chinese Food" in America be considered American, considering that American "Chinese Food" isn't REALLY "Chinese"?

Phillipino... Followed by Thai. Kari-Kari is the best dish ever. I also love Cajun.

I'd say that so long as the dish has its oriign in a specific country, it belongs to that country's cuisine list. Otherwise everything produced in the U.S. would be American food, everything in China Chinese food, and so on and so forth.

What choc cake isn't brownie?

Seriously though, I was makeing a joke when I said that, although sliced bread and bread roll is still bread innit!

I suppose in the same way that Grand Theft Auto and Tetris are both video games.

LOL Yeah...I can go for that :)

I like Middle Eastern food, like from Israel, Lebannon and such.
