Title says it all. And, as usual, there's a poll on the way.

Mexican but only because I can't stand most noodles :(

(does tequila count as part of Mexican cuisine?)

Damn not being able to pick two. Italian and Thai ftw.

Really should be multiple choice, but since the burrito is Mexican the superiority is clear. How many other cuisines have something that is often referred to as 'Super' on the menu? I rest my case.

(does tequila count as part of Mexican cuisine?)

For the purposes of this thread, yes.

There was no Indian, so I put British, since the food is technically British-Indian, created by immigrants, rather than what is actually eaten in India.

That's what I've heard, anyway.

Pretty much any without seafood. I guess Italian if you make me choose one.

Indian is usually just really f$%^** hot. The taste is ehhh. It like a game let's see how much intestinal damage we can cause to ourselves and walk away.

This world would be nothing without pasta. Italian.

on a regular basis, its gotta be italian. but i probably enjoy having chinese and indian slightly more.... maybe. i don't know, maybe i just have italian a lot

I knew I was forgetting something major. :headbang:

It's only as hot as the dish you order. And if the flavour's no good, it's just a bad restaurant. I've never tried to get Indian food in the US, so I don't know if it's possible to get anything good. In Britain, there are plenty of good Indian restaurants.

Well there wasn't any puerto rican on there, so I went with other. Not the same as mexican, and very good.

I'm partial to Italian, Thai, and Chinese. I've just started looking into Tex-Mex stuff, so its too early to say. But overall I think Italian is the best because I can eat it a lot and not get too sick of it.

Sushi ftw!

My favorites are Itallian, Indian, and Chinese. Mexican, Japanese, British, Greek, and American (if by that you include hamburgers and deep fried food and so forth) are also up their.

I like lots of types of foods. However, if I had to choose one over all, I'd say probably Itallian or Chinese.

Meh. A poll about cuisine without the French cuisine. I think it would be pollworthy. Maybe instead of the USAmerican cuisine, which is still more of a collection of many different foreign cuisines, not a proper national cuisine.

Korean!!! why did you leave out KOREAN !!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mp5:

We should really make separate polls for each continent. Maybe Asia needs two polls (east Asia / rest of Asia).

Wow, Can't pick.

Spanish, Japanese, Mexican, Italian and Puerto Rican are some of my favorite cuisines. Followed by Arabic and Greek.

Wow, Can't pick.

What about a mud pizza pie with pesto, spring rolls, chili and a beef steak?

Folded into a taco shape.

Yum.

I'll open a pizzeria and serve it. I'll call it the LG tacopizza. I'll give you 20% royalties.

Italian. And not that cheap imitation stuff they serve in the States.

Pacitalian.

Haha... okay... Italian or French.

yeah maybe.

though I think African food will be a bit bland considering its whatever the UN sends.

American. As in American-Chinese, American-Italian, American-French, American-African, American-Greek, American-Mexican, American-Jamaican and whatever other hybridizations I've gotten used to eating over the years.

Lebanese, Thai, Mexican, Indian, Japanese (especially the desserts).

Pretty much any without seafood. I guess Italian if you make me choose one.

What the hell is Italian without seafood?

Hmm...in approximate order: Vietnamese, Indian, Ethiopian, Thai, Cajun

Really delicious pizza. Like, no crust, lots of delicious cheese....mmm.... I had it 9 years ago and I still remember that delicious pizza.

Yeah, I guess...the first thing that pops into my mind when I think "Italian', though, is calamari.

Damn. Now I'm hungry.

Really? I usually think pizza or gnocchi with some super yummy homemade tomato sauce and some fresh basil and Parmesan cheese grated on top.

And I guess I think of that specific pizza I had because it was the first pizza I had when I went to Italy and it was one of the most delicious food items I've ever eaten (well, ate part of, what with an entire pizza being large and all).

I used to work at an Italian restaurant, the sweetest gig I ever had. The chef used to make lunch for the staff every day; and my favorite dish of his was this gorgeous seafood medley pasta with a spicy tomato sauce. Yeah, Italian cuisine goes way beyond this one dish, but I'd never felt so well looked-after in my life.

He used to have an espresso ready for me when I walked in the door, too. No wonder I looked the other way when he chain-smoked right in the kitchen.

Australian is my fave.

Solient Green.

How can this thread have lasted this many pages without someone saying that? I thought this was the internet...

Whats "US American Cuisine"?


Besides, Cajun Food is the best food ever ordained...Nuff Said, lol...

That's what I've heard, anyway.

I am always so curious about this. You'd think, having spent a goodly amount of time in India, Brits would eat a lot of authentic Indian cuisine, but then I always see/read things about "curries", which our Indian restaurants don't really have (in my area, anyway).

Your Indian restaurants dont have curry?:eek: Youre missing out, I thought that was like the main bit of Indian food, lol...

No, we have no Indians in the U.S. Certainly not. We're actually a quite small nation without much diversity. :rolleyes:

:rolleyes: Seriously, America-bashing when you're an American doesn't look cool, it looks pathetic. "not that cheap imitation stuff they serve at the Olive Garden" is totally acceptable, but implying that there is NO good or authentic Italian food when there are 17 million Italian-Americans is just fail.

American. As in American-Chinese, American-Italian, American-French, American-African, American-Greek, American-Mexican, American-Jamaican and whatever other hybridizations I've gotten used to eating over the years.

Have to agree. I like my food bastardized by the melting pot. Or the fondue pot. Mm.

Australian is my fave.

What's Australian cuisine like?

Whats "US American Cuisine"?

LOL. "Cajun food" would seem to be a good example of some U.S. cuiside, ironically...

the Idea being that ive never heard of anything thats just "American Cuisine" its always a regional food...

And if there is, id like to be pointed in its direction, lol...

We have a lot of dishes that are in the broad description of "curry", like chana masala and various dals, but they're all very different and much less... well, saucy than the curries in Britain seem to be. Maybe I'm just mis-informed, but the curry I see on TV from Britain all seems to be the same... like a thick gravy.

*thinks*

Anything served at a baseball game.

Indian and American

In order:

Mexican, Italian, American

my "other" is "all of the above" (in the poll), and anything else that don't eat me first.

i believe in CREATIVE cooking, but love goodness found in every kind of cooking from different places that there is.

Mine depends on my mood and time of day. Indian, Turkish, Persian, and Afghan are all pretty close together, but I'd have to say I crave Afghan more than the others, so that would be my choice.

Of course, there's not really a dish that beats Kashmiri Raan, but most Indian food is too heavy to eat a lot. Turkish and Persian are both really good, but Persian is healthier, and thus, my preference for lunch.

There's no such thing as British cuisine.

Sure there is, Chicken Tikka Masala.

Unless you mean native British cuisine, in which case, you're right, it's terrible.

No, I mean there are 3 different countries in Britain, all with different sorts of food. Anyway, what British food have you actually tried?

You Are What You Eat on BBC has kind of turned me off British food. Excepting one trip to the Seashell, I pretty much subsisted off Indian in London last time I was there.

Italian.

London's a hellhole, and You Are What You Eat doesn't exactly show the finer side of any sort of cuisine.

Eh, I like London, but you're right, it doesn't any more than Red Lobster shows the finer side of American food.

Of course, I don't honestly know much about the regional foods, all I can associate with here is black pudding and haggis, neither of which really appeal to me. Still, London does have the best Indian food, outside of the Bukhara restauraunt in New Delhi from what I've been told, and I wanted to find the best Indian restauraunt in the world while I was there.

My Cuisine also feels your pain, lol...

Dammit, now Im craving Crawfish...

Uh, Ashkenazic cuisine. Bagels, gefilte fish, lox, latkes, hamantashen, matzo.

I can't handle anything spicy, really.

I don't really have a favourite kind of cuisine, but I answered Mexican because it's what I've been craving recently. There is a deplorable lack of good Mexican food where I live.
