    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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:

    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).

    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.

    I voted Japanese, I can't live w/o sushi! I also love Mexican, French, Thai, Chinese, Indian, and Lebanese. I'm glad I live in an area where all of my favorite foods are easily obtained.

    I like cowboy food: whatever ya brung with ya, mixed with whatever ya find local.

    e.g. Tonight I made kielbasa fried rice: Hot-fry the celery and onion, add kielbasa, stir, add canned "chop suey" veggies (bamboo, chestnut, mini-corn, beansprouts), add egg & rice 'n spice, stir, drizzle sesame oil at the end.

    Big hit. Tonight.

    It has failed before, using frankfurters, and keeping it hot too long, so the bamboo is soggy, and the mini-corns just sad. So I, teh cowboy stove-guy learned: veggies? thin meat? rice? cool: cook quick and moving.

    So, I guess I have no fave, as I like it all. Especially that somebody else ran it down and killed it, or went out every day and watered it, then put it on my plate for less cost than I earnt today, doing whateveritisIdo.

    So yeah: cowboy food.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    Chinese, for being able to make just about anything edible, and often even tasty. The French are too elitist in their ingredient-choosing. There's no glory in winning the Champions League with Real Madrid. A manager who can do it with the Basildon 2nd XI (Essex Reserves Sunday League) deserves far more credit.
