The Best Cuisine?

[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?

[Scienter]

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.

Mussels in Brussels?

...and there isn't a beer in sight.

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.

Don't knock it. Just scoff it.

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.

This.

Chinese may be our winner then

Thanks for excluding hardy Cree cuisine.

American food (not so much the fast variety) is great. I also love Italian and Mexican, though I've only had them in America. The Chinese food in America is awesome. The Chinese food in China was forgettable (and sometimes inedible). I still dream sometimes of the Turkish kebab I had in Spain, and have to hang my pillow up to dry in the morning.
