2. I could never pick.
One of the greatest things about living in multicultural America - the awesome variety of food available.

3. So many to choose from (I'm hungry too)
Thai, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Mexican and Ukrainian. I'm also fond of some British food, but not because it's good but because it's homey.

4. Money no object? Sushi.
Not in any particular order: Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, South American, Italian, Mexican (the real thing and the Tex-Mex variety), Greek, Lebanese, Indian...

My mom's cooking holds a special place in my heart and tummy, though. :loveya:

11. Yeah, but I try to pace myself :)
Stick-to-yo-ribs food is great, but it, er, sticks to my ribs a tad too much :D. I had fried chicken last week for the first time in years, and DAMN it was great!!!!

8. Yes.
Edited on Fri May-20-05 11:28 AM by kick-ass-bob
I like them all.

Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Indian, Greek, Southern (I like your designation), American, Japanese, German, Irish.
Adding cajun on edit -- no shellfish, though :(

I can't order them at all, I just love food - it depends on my mood.

I have never had Thai food - that's just an oversight really. :shrug:

20. Indian
the best vegetarian food seems to come from India IMO. Probably because that country has the strongest tradition of vegetarianism.

25. Of course.
I love the little home style Italian restaurants owned by an Italian family where everything is homemade, even the pasta!

27. Better yet if your grandfolks were off the boat, your mom was 1st gen...
...like mine.

Through the generations:

My Grandpa: Homemade wine at every meal and a huge garden every year.

My Grandma: EVERYTHING from scratch...even the noodles. Canned in ball jars.

My dad: Tiny garden, no winemaking.

My mom: Everything from scratch, EXCEPT she bought the noodles. Froze some vegetables.

My sister and me: Ragu and boughten noodles. Bottled wine rarely. We both have good-sized gardens, though. But we don't can it. We do freeze some.

The last of the good Italian cooking was lost when my mom passed away 2 years ago.

32. Indian, hands down.
Mexican would be next, then really good (meaning not Americanized) Italian and Japanese, Vietnamese and Korean all lumped together because I never know which one I'm eating necessarily.

37. Indian, hands down.
Vindaloo! :9


Ethiopian, next.


Then Mexican.


Then Northern Brazilian (not much like Southern Brazilian beef-fests; more African, more seafood-y)

Then good ol' down-home Southern (US)


I like the saucy and savory and filling and solid. Most Far East cuisines feel too insubstantial somehow for my biscuits-and-gravy raised belly, though I do enjoy sushi and a lot of Vietnamese dishes.
