Ask Lemmy

Italian and German.

mexican and mexican

Indian and Thai, but I'd really miss pho.

That being said, no way I don't grill some steaks and burgers and brats..

For my mouth and dopamine, Italian. For my health, Greek.

American, and Mexican.

Mexican and Chinese.

But like the american type chinese takeout with a seventeen page menu of sushi and bubble teas I will never once get. And the mexican restaurants that also serve americanized tacos, so you know everything else has extra cheese and sauce.

British - obviously includes the greats like full English/Scottish breakfast, roast dinners, fish and chips, but also includes a wide varieties of Indian/Bangladeshi curries (Balti, Jalfrezi, Madras, Chicken Tikka Masala, etc), and similarly with westernised Chinese dishes.

American - mostly from the south: fried chicken, barbecue, jambalaya, gumbo, etc.

Give me Japanese, and give me Thai.

Japanese cuisine runs far and deep, and so does Thai food.

Of course, this begs the question: what about a good burger with kewpie on it, or what happens if I put carnitas in pad thai? Where’s the delineations?

Eventually I can argue that frosted animal crackers, the pink and white ones, furthest from any kind of national or regional cuisine whatsoever, are Thai food cause they’ve been eaten by Thai people.

Middle Eastern and Middle Eastern (I should probably give other cuisines a try). There's a lot more to this stuff than shawarma, y'all.

Middle Eastern and German

1. Asian
2. Latin American

If I didn't have dietary restrictions the Vietnamese and Puerto Rican (with Mexican essentially tied).

Indian and German .

My favourite main is lamb vindaloo and my favourite cake is black forest gateau. Additionally pretzels and pakoras are great snacks.

American Soul Food (Ribs, Fried Chicken, Greens, Mac & Cheese, Buttermilk Biscuits, etc) Thai

Just gimme the (Black) American foods that no one else makes.

Japanese and Thai

stir fry and pizza

French and Indian

My problem with picking a cuisine is what that means.

It has become a gripe amongst Italian-Americans where I live that their cuisine isn't considered to be Italian because Italy has changed in a different direction from their traditional cooking. The Italian-Americans can trace some recipes and practices to those who just got off the boat, but those practices don't reflect modern Italian cuisine.

I'd probably pick Italian as one of my cuisines, but I don't know if my practices would match the current cooking practices from the nation-state of Italy.

Mexican & Indian

Mexican, because life is just better with spices.
American, given that American "culture" is really just cultural appropriation with added sugar and calories, I'll get to try something close to every other cuisine.
