Food Favorite cuisines?

Italian, just about any type of Italian. And just about any recipe. Pizza, traditional or the Americanized version. Pasta, red or white sauce but usually red. Seafood, I love scampi and calamari. There are a few dishes I'll take a pass on, but damned few. Don't care that much for marsala anything. And then there's tiramisu. mmmmm

I could eat Italian every day.

 

Oh man...there are so many! I like cuisines from pretty much every continent; but I guess if I had to narrow it down to just a few top favorites...it would be these:

Middle Eastern: basically all the cuisines they use in Israel, so Yemenite, Moroccan, Syrian/Lebanese, Tunisian, Iraqi, Egyptian, Persian....

Italian: Tuscan, Romagnese, Milanese/Napolitano, Sicilian, Calabrese...it's all good.

French: Also pretty much all good, though I have particular weaknesses for Alsatian, Bourgognois, Norman, and Provencal.

Indian: South Indian, Punjabi, Nepali, Kashmiri, and Pakistani.

Chinese: Cantonese, Szechuan, Hunan, Shaoxing, Shanghai, Yunnan, Jiangsu...all awesome.

 

the new Pink Magnum

i tried one today on the way home and it was absolutely positively DEVINE so if you haven't already had a Pink Magnum, DO, sooner rather than later

otherwise i'll settle for Italian cuisine

 

First preference: Indian, Japanese, German

Second preference: Thai, Italian, American, French, Persian, Spanish

 

I'm going to go with Baraka and put Asian as a general geographic food region on top, with northern Indian food at the pinnacle.

We are devoted carnivores but I think I could enjoy going vegetarian if I always had access to Indian food.

 

I really should've waited until after lunch to open this thread


I am all about Italian. Arrabbiata and pesto are my favorite sauces--you can toss them in with almost any combination of pasta and vegetables and I'm happy. Gnocci is amazing. I tend to lean more towards simple Tuscan-style dishes, but it's all yummy.

 

Steak.

 

All of them. Ethiopian and French a little less than most. But there are things I love in nearly every cuisine out there. It'd be nearly impossible for me to to find one I didn't like.

 

Chinese, Japanese dirty knees and you ever seen one of these? .!..


Sorry, slap happy today. I love me some Chinese, Japanese and Thai food. It's got to have some flavor though. Kick up the spice!

How about some Chicken Wings!!

• 8 chicken drumsticks, skin on ( the skin is important for flavour, and is so tasty to eat!)
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 garlic cloves, peeled and bruised
• 1 small hot chili peppers, slit open, seeds removed

1. Place all the ingredients in a saucepan over a high heat.
2. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 20 minutes.
3. Remove any scum that rises to the surface.
4. Increase the heat, turning the drumsticks frequently in the liquid, and cook until the liquid has reduced to a sticky glaze.
5. Arrange the chicken on a serving platter, remove the garlic clove and chili from the liquid, and spoon the glaze over.
6. NOTE It's a glaze rather than a sauce, so there's not a whole lot of it.

 

I always have trouble naming my favourite anything...

Living in Singapore, I can have just about any type of food I could imagine. Sure, there is a large amount of Asian food (Malaysian, Indonesian, Thai, Singaporean, Vietnamese, Burmese, Philippino, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.) but there is also some amazing Italian, French, Middle Eastern, etc. We are spoiled for choice.

If I have to choose one dish that does it for me, it would have to be Vietnamese Pho. So much going on in one bowl.

If I had to choose only one national cuisine it would have to be the myriad Indian cuisines. I love the northern Indian rich curries with their meat heavy dishes but I am also a big fan of the southern Indian curries that are hotter and use a lot more seafood and vegetables. You could spend a lot of time exploring the subtleties of the breadth of Indian cuisine.

In fact, the same can be said for many of the nations in Asia. To say you like Chinese, Indian or Thai food usually means you are talking about one small part of a very broad, very diverse culinary history of which you have only sampled a small portion. I am still discovering new things on a regular basis. I can't wait until my new job has me travelling to a lot more of the region.

 

I haven't had a ton of exposure to different types of cuisines. Being that I have never left the states I have experienced the usual range of choices we have here. I am going to have to say that so far Greek or Mediterranean dishes are my fav.

 

Asian is on the top for me as well -- particularly Thai and Szechuan. I like Ethiopian alot as well, except for the injera bread.

I've tried Caribbean and West African. The fish is ok, but not a fan of goat. And neither offer much for vegetarians.

Favorite American cuisines are probably southern low country and Cajun.

 

Mexican, then Italian. We ate Mexican at least once a week when I was growing up, I guess it rubbed off on me.

 

I absolutely LOVE Mexican food, anything with green chili in it. I absolutely love Italian food too. Spaghetti is my all time favorite, followed by chicken marsala.

 

Food, you have to have a favorite?? I love food, period. But, if I can go get something, I'd take some Pad Thai any day! Love Thai food!! But no one else in my family will go with me, so it's very rare for me.

But any kind of comfort food will really fit the bill too. Tex-Mex, Asian (any), Mexican. Anything with spice is good!
