favorite ethnic food

rtil · June 18, 2012 07:55 PM

haven't been any topics in a while and i'm hungry so this is what i came up with.

what's your favorite ethnic food? for me it's thai food. i love a lot of the ways they prepare curry, the spice of the dishes, the use of peanut, egg, noodles and the different kinds of sauces as well. i also think the dishes are very pretty , and a lot of thai restaurants have a nice atmosphere, too. the food also smells amazing.

sorry if i missed any, i know i did but i tried to list the most popular, at least in the united states.

For me, it's a tie between Mexican and Japanese food. I love meat, and these pack a wallop of good ol' hearthy meat meat meat

I dunno... I'd have a hard time deciding between Italian, Chinese and many dishes that I consider German but which are probably common meals everywhere and originate from completely different countries. Greece food is pretty nice as well. My parents simply love Greek restaurants, tough, which is why it doesn't really appear as special to me as other types of food. Indian and Thai stuff is pretty nice too and I don't even want to exclude the others... This is quite a touh one, but I would probably go with Chinese as well as it's still one of the more exquisite choices...

Isn't France pretty popular for its cuisine, though? I think that one belongs in the list, although I probably couldn't even list more that 3 typically French dishes...

Oh, and on a side note... what you/we guys might consider Chinese is actually the westernized variety. If you ever visit a traditional Chinese restaurant, the menu will look quite different....

i was actually gonna mention i've been to a traditional chinese restaurant in vancouver bc (there is a huge chinese population there), i'm not gonna lie i had a hard time eating a lot of the food there. what they consider dessert is .. well, i dont know what it is but it was barely food

Necronomitr0n · June 18, 2012 10:00 PM

definitely mexican

sev · June 18, 2012 10:49 PM

i love it all but i've never tried vietnamese, latin or korean. it all depends on mood but i have to say if any means more to me it's definitely indian. i loooooove indian food

native american food is the best because they didn't have gay processed foods which cause cancer

Italian food and i don't mean generic affair you get in most restaurants outside of Italy.

The way they do sauces, vegetables and fish dishes in particular is so damn lovely and while you do have to watch the fat levels somewhat the food is otherwise not too bad for you. Another factor is that when you go to Italy there is quite a bit of variation from region to region.

A personal example id give of this would be when i was last in Umbria a good few years ago there was this small hillside village near where my aunt used to live and they did a LOVELY selection of boar and bread based dishes. On the other hand while when i was in a lovely part of Campania last year called Castellabate they had an enormous emphasis on fish (particularly catches of the day) dishes.

The other most important one for me though is that the food isn't all that hard to do and doesn't have that many ingredients. So if you have some good quality ingredients it's a very delicious and simply rewarding type of food to cook for home.

Oh and they have Panna Cotta which is a vanilla jelly dessert that i have an almost crack like addiction too :P
