Now... I go to my local Soul Food place all the time, and we... Thai, now?

(I probably screwed up the joke right there, didn't I?) :S

Whoa... Honolulu!?

But yeah-- "Tiradito" is sort of a more thinly-sliced version of ceviche, marinated in "leche de tigre."

Bah, not trying to start a flame-war here, but... I have my personal choice. (no offense)

Yeap, I love it!

(but I also hate it for my health, if that makes sense?)

In truth, I could nom their stuff for eternity.
I love how you nailed them both, right there!

a couple dozen (minimum) cuisines in a trench coat.

Hahaha, that's great!

Cantonese food, though... we must try it!!

So we've narrowed it down to two continents, then? :o

Wow, that's... yeah!

So, hehe, I've been to Italia a grand total of , when we visited my aunt in Firenza, many years ago. (One of the things I really loved about Italia is how it busted our mindset about 'American expectations')

Eh, but they use no tomatoes or corn.

Fair! But we also came up with potatoes, chiles, and quite a number of spicy meatballs, not just of the polpette piccanti variety, eh?

Eh, but why GREEK..?

(I'm assuming you're not referring to the gross slabs of reconstituted meat, roasting unhealthily on the rotisserie?)

Tiradito, compa.

Mira.

Italian food (often) depends heavily on New World crops like tomatoes and corn

It's so curious-- so what was late-stage Western Roman food like, anyway?

Max Miller is a dang-ol' genius at this stuff, but he always has to make a huge production about it, y'know..?

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.

MAN, you were on ROLL right there, and then... you just decided to... LOL

Lean

Huh! And what is that, if I may ask..?

EDIT: Will you clowns give it a rest for JUST a moment, here...?
