As the title states, which world cuisines do you enjoy?

I love Spanish cuisine, of course, with Italian coming 2nd., Mexican is 3rd. and Arab is 4th.

Of course, others I like are Japanese and Puerto Rican.

Does Fish and Chips count as a cuisine?

I like Irish cuisine too.

English mainly, though I have to admit I have not tried much different food in my life, though I really want to sample it all.

English and Welsh, also Italian.

You must try food from other countries. You''ll really like doing that.

1) German
2) French
3) Polish
4) Arab

I like bits of other cuisines, Japanese, Mexican, Chinese, etc. but I can't stand things that are ludicrously spicy.

English and Welsh, also Italian.

Would you mind giving me a Welsh recipe? I would like to try it sometime.

My sources say maybe

The origins of chicken tikka masala are disputed:

* A widely reported explanation of the origins of the dish is that it was conceived in Glasgow in the late 1960s, when a customer, who found the traditional chicken tikka too dry, asked for some gravy. The chef supposedly improvised a sauce from tomato soup, yogurt and spices.
* Many restaurants throughout the UK claim to have invented it. The recipe's age is also unproven, with claims ranging from the 1970s back to the 1950s
* At least one source has the dish originating in Delhi in 1947.
* Another theory is that it originated in British India to adapt local dishes to the British palate. A prototype may be Murgh Makhni (butter chicken), a dish from the Punjab region of India.

Would you mind giving me a Welsh recipe? I would like to try it sometime.

Would you like a recipe for Welshcakes? They're muy delicioso!

Korean Hwae (sashimi) is the best.
Thai food is a close second. Europeans and Americans (except the South) don't know how to cook.

I like Irish cuisine too.

What is Irish cuisine?

1) Russian. I gotta love my borscht.
2) Spanish. 6 weeks in Barcelona will do that to you. I must have tried every type of Tapas.
3) Mongolian. Practically everything (as far as food goes) from that country is amazing.
4) Indian. No idea how they make vegetables taste so good.
5) Chinese (Canton) I have several friends who's parents make homemade Cantonese food. It's a whole different world from that crap they serve at those cheap Americanized restaurants.

What? Nothing wrong with a bit of potatoes with turnips and haggis. At all. Blood pudding is delicious fried up with some scrambled eggs, all with loads of salt and pepper, and fish and chips is just unbelievably tasty.

I want to reclaim apple pie as part of British cuisine. It's ouuuuuuuurs 'mericans.

What British foods have you tried then?

Well...for starters....there's practically nothing British for a vegetarian (excluding salads and boiled vegetables).

Even the fish cooked in British way is so bland that it gets boring after a while (and by that I mean, after the first time).

I was in various places UK for 8 months...you can't say I haven't tried it.

Damn right!

The greatest thing IN THE WORLD is a beigel from Brick Lane. I've been known to visit at ungodly hours. What a place.

1) Vietnamese
2) Ethiopian
3) Indian
4) Cajun

I'm not really familiar with Spanish cuisine, but I do enjoy tapas and red wine on a summer night.

In order...

Italian is by far my favorite.

American... contrary to popular belief we do have American cuisine... Meat Loaf, Tuna Casserole, stuff like that; I hate to break it to the Italians but pizza is much more of an American food. And don't forget our bastardizations of other people foods...

Asian... but I can't eat a lot of the stronger flavored foods because they make me sick :(.

And Greek, but only when its actually Greek!

Good Kiwi tucker always goes down well too.
Some of the food from the Pacific Islands is beautiful!

Just a few from top of my mind.. Oh and yeah, Italian is great, pasta and pizza.

I'm not really familiar with Spanish cuisine, but I do enjoy tapas and red wine on a summer night.

I always recommend people try Spanish food by region. And since I´m from Asturias, I will recommend you try Fabada Asturiana (http://www.spain-recipes.com/fabada-asturiana.html) and Casadielles. There, a dish and a dessert.


Casadielles:

For the puff pastry:
500 g flour
250 cm3 water
20 g salt
2 eggs
300 g butter

For the filling:
200 g walnuts
200 g hazelnuts
300 g sugar
anisette to taste


Mix the flour with the salt, water, eggs and 100 grams of the butter, and make a very fine first dough.

Roll out with a rolling pin and cover with the remaining 200 grams of butter, evenly distributed. Fold and roll out a few times to make a puff pastry. Chill in the refrigerator.

Form a filling with the finely grounds walnuts and hazelnuts and the sugar. Mix it well with your hands and, little by little, dampen the mixture with the anisette until it is light and compact.

On a marble surface, stretch or roll the puff pastry, and cut it into pieces about 13 cm by 10 cm.

On each piece, place a spoonful of the filling and close the sides, previously moistened water or egg yolk. Press the edges gently with a fork.

Fry the casadielles in very hot oil and, after removing them from the oil, dredge them with sugar.

Never really had the patience to make pastries, though.

Italian is very good. Some Spanish I like, but I also dislike some things I had in Spain quite strongly. Some German is to my tastes. I like a lot of Mexican food, and some Japanese food (but not actually sushi). I've had French food, but it was a bit fancy for me. My favorite French food is basically their version of the grilled cheese sandwich. I like a lot of traditional "American" food, which is mostly stuff taken from other nations and then warped. Though there are some yummy things that did originate in the USA. Like the peanut butter and jam sandwich, IIRC.

Since I don't like the taste of burning I'm not all that keen on becoming accustomed to it.

Well, it has been shown time and time again that I can be a bit of a masochist.

Dude, America was so in need of names for it's new country that it stole yours, just added New before each name. Now, that's, that's unique.:D

Don't think anyone's mentioned Vietnamese (try Pho Bang, although I've only seen it in NY). I absolutely despise American fast food. Italian is also a favorite. I have to ask though, do Italians really eat maggots with cheese?? Chinese and Japanese cuisines are givens, add some Thai to the mix. Oh, and Tex-Mex.

Not always, there's a Bristol without a new, about 15 miles from a Bath and 40 odd from a Somerset there, all of which without News on them, but also those are all places near where I live, so I'm convinced that people came from round here to settle there, seeing as Bristol is a port city. You learn something new every day!

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam.

No thank you. Again, I'm not a fan of ingesting things that taste like fire.

Well I never knew that.

I didn't either, things like this are why I love Wiki disambiguation pages.

Even vindaloo made in India?

Vindaloo made in India is a Goan dish of joint Indian and Portuguese influence, made with pork preserved in red wine or red wine vinegar.

'Vindaloo' in the UK has become a semi-generic term for any very hot dish, regardless of the content; it also usually contains potatoes (possibly due to confusion over 'aloo' being the Hindi word for potato), which true Goan vindaloo doesn't.

As to the question in the OP....

In no particular order:

Szechuan [probably the second hottest cuisine on earth, behind only Bhutanese]
Macanese [get that Chinese / Portuguese fusion thing going]
Portuguese
Thai
Spanish
Cantonese [done right; most UK and US Chinese restaurants don't]
Jamaican


Major world cuisine that I should like but inexplicably don't:

Korean


And my least favourite cuisine?

Icelandic.

I lived in Iceland for a year in the 80s, and rancid shark meat, smoked sheep's head, pickled puffin and ram testicles really don't do it for me.

well seeing as im allergic to nuts (namely peanuts and pine nuts)
AND shellfish that limits *most* asian cusine for me but if asian were all sashimi im all for it

but the order is as follows:
1. itallian
2. mexican
3. german (if it is as i think it is)

but i need to learn to like korean because where i live a car plant run by koreans (lots of them) is coming

I want to try Indian. I don´t know why I haven´t yet, but I must. Anything anyone would recommend?
Chicken Tikka Masala is good.... it's in a yogurt/paprika sauce. I also like Goat Curry, Vegetable Korma, Tandoori chicken and, of course, Kheer (rice pudding).

With all due respect to our wise and munificent mod, chicken tikka masala is not Indian food. It's a British-invented adaptation of Indian food; statistically, it's the single most popular restaurant dish in the UK. So British is it that the late Foreign Secretary Robin Cook claimed it was "Britain's true national dish".

A (possibly apocryphal) story has it that it was invented in Glasgow when a customer asked for some gravy because he thought the chicken was too dry. Legend has it that the chef improvised a sauce from tomato soup, yogurt and spices. Several British restaurants (and not just in Glasgow) claim to have invented it somewhere between the 1950s to 1970s. Even those who claim it really does come from India have it as a Raj-era adaptation of Punjabi butter chicken for the British palate.

So it's about as Indian as chop suey is Chinese.
