The Best Cuisine?

[Thermal]

What foods do you like most and what nation do they originate from? I'd say Mexican or Italian, Mexican is the best though, Chilli, Fajitas, Delicious!

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I'll say american, not just for our native (so to speak) foods but because of our improvements to foreign foods like pizza, beer, whiskey, chinese food, tacos, etc.

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

American, because the Americans flexibly adopt and combine the cuisine of other nations into a very appetizing fusion. And BBQ is delicious.

[Crazed Rabbit]

American - steak, BBQ ribs? Oh man that is delicious.

Mexican and Chinese are honorable mentions.

[Samurai Waki]

American, the food you were raised on, is generally the food you like the best. Honorable mentions to Chinese, and Vietnamese.

[Fragony]

Indian cuisine by far, could eat it every day, don't care about the sweets but a good spicy curry with a lassi mango drink dear god so good. But I still like plain dutch food like my grandma makes it best, best soup ever, or a good beef stove dear god.

[Beirut]

Anything and everything between Lebanon and India.

[CountArach]

My votes go to Thai, Chinese and British. Thai is good for the curries. Chinese is good for pretty much everything. British food is more what I am used to at home, but I also like the idea of large, hearty meals that are just designed to fill you up and are based on whatever you can get your hand on. Oh, and Yorkshire Puddings are great...

[pevergreen]

Australian.

[naut]

Balkan. Holy crap do they make tasty food. There's a Balkan resturant near where I live, run by some old Bulgar. Tastiest food I've ever had.

Other than that, Indian, I've grown up on the stuff. My dad and also my neighbours make a mean curry. And Spanish food is great as well, there's an excellent Spanish resturant fairly close to me as well.

I Love pizza, pasta, and Tiramisu above all else

[aimlesswanderer]

Here in Sydney you can get all sorts of good food from all over the place. Just choose the best from each.

Mongolian summer food: fresh cheese, milk, yoghurt made of sheep, cow, goat, mare, camel or yack milk, fermented mare milk. Dairies, dairies, dairies.

I nearly mistook you for khaan, and as per my usual "hes changed his name again" routine, I was going to refer to you as fishkebab.

So I will.

Burgers!!! And pizzas!

And then noodles and stuff.

Traditional Indian food is good, but sometimes there can be too much of a good thing. When one has to eat dal, roti and sabji each day it gets old. Furthermore, the food served in restaurants etc isn't the actual Indian cuisine we eat here.....They normally use a lot more oil (a lot) and spices, and fry stuff.

We had a small restaurant here runned by an Indian couple, nothing more then tables and seats and language mixups, and they only served the more spicy traditional Kashmir stuff, yes I could eat that every day. Roti the same where you live? It's a dish suri-dutchies make, pancake, bit like a nan, wrapped around chicken with pieces of potato and some veggies.

[DemonArchangel]

Anything in a triangle formed from Istanbul to Jakarta to Tokyo is excellent food.

However, I have to give the prize to Chinese food. Real Chinese food, because it's so tasty.

[Weebeast]

You guys mind naming the dish? It's kind of hard to learn about new dishes if you sort out your list by countries. It's like telling me to pick a restaurant, look at the menu and order everything. Come on internet dwellers. You're supposed to be like the Aliens all advanced and stuff.

Anyway, I don't eat these everyday obviously but if I were to make a short list of food I can only eat for the rest of my life it would be this:

1. Siomay.
2. Fried rice seafood combo. I like all the Asian variants (Chinese, Indo, Malay, Thai, etc) but usually the Thai one tastes the best. Chinese is too bland. Indonesian/Malay is too sweet. Thai is just right!
3. Of course fried chickens. The fact that Colonel Sanders catered to fat Americans does not make it any less cuisiney. Sometimes good food can be simple and as easy to make as submerging it in boiling fat. Dip it in Asian hotsauce instead of ketchup yum.

For the most part I usually like dish that has animal products and or unhealthy but not to say I hate vegetables. I love the green leafy ones like spinach and watery ones like cucumber. I am curiously attracted to bitter ones like Brussels sprouts and bitter melons

Burgers rice and lots of pasta, mm mm finger licking good.

[Azathoth]

I picked almost everything, mainly because every single one of those options can be included in American. The Chinese (East Asian in general) food here is great, but have you seen some of the stuff they actually eat in East Asia?! Blurgghh...

In fact, most of the food they serve in Chinese restaurants here would look pretty weird back in the home country.

[Banquo's Ghost]

The clue is in the title. Cuisine.

Almost all nations have several outstanding dishes. Only France has created true art in food as well as having a tradition of wonderful simple recipes.

Nonetheless:

Mongolian summer food: fresh cheese, milk, yoghurt made of sheep, cow, goat, mare, camel or yack milk, fermented mare milk. Dairies, dairies, dairies.

The very best meal I have enjoyed was Mongolian stone roasted marmot. Mind you, I was mind-numbingly hungry at the time, and the company was magical.

Belgian cuisine = French quality + German quantity

I also love Indian, Italian and Turkish food.

Your poll really needs Turkish food in it. It's absolutely great.

The most recent dish I prepared was Izmir Köfte (take two garlic cloves instead of one).

[Louis VI the Fat]

Belgian cuisine = French quality + German quantity

Twice, Belgian food has managed to move me to tears, so good was it. But then I cry easily, especially when it involves food.


A perfectly preserved mediæval city. During the day, discovering the limitless local art treasures, a thousand years of rich history. At night, moules, frites, bière.

Heaven. Belgium is a place of pilgrimage. A sacred destination, this virtual garden of Eden.

Mussels in Brussels?

[Owen Glyndwr]

Let's see:

Italian: Love Italian, so good
Mexican: Only as far as TexMex, haven't tried traditional Mexican yet
French: I like the pastries, but that's about it
Chinese: Love it!
Thai: Love it even more than Chinese! (One of my favorites cuisines)
Indian: It's so-so for me. Haven't had enough of it to formulate an opinion
Spanish: Really interested in trying this some time.
British: I like Fish and Chips. I really love the Full English, so good...
American: Can't say no to my home country. I'm not nationalistic as say, my Persian or Indian friends, but I still love it. (Is texmex american or mexican? Never quite sure...)
