Favoriate kind of food

Post by Asst. Asst. Lt. Cmdr. Smi »

We all need to eat. Which type of food do you like most? I myself like Asian cusine the most, followed by German, then American, then Mexican.

Also, would hamburgers qualify as "American", or "German"? The name is German, but you find them a lot at American establishments.

I think my diet predates nationalities.

Fish, and lots of smoked meats (but never Pork or Beef, I'm allergic to those, But Venison, and varieties of fowl are common)

They're American - they were created by German immigrants to America.

Same with Pizzas - they're American too.

Fish and lots of it.

Fish is so versatile from raw sushi, herring, it can be grilled, boiled, fried and tons of other ways.

I also found that in the restaurants the chefs puts more effort in the fish order than the meat order. You just can't cheat and get good tasting fish it's an all or nothing deal.

I still eat meat but i like fish way better.

The Lebanese have this pita with meat that they call shishtaouk. It's served a little different than a Shwarma but it is just as tasty.

Hmm, not sure. All of those cultures have produced fine food and women, but there is no real order to "hot women by culture" in my head.

Assuming you meant spicy, yeah, hot's good. My father grows habaneros in the back yard, but I'm still trying to get used to thais.

I also enjoy Chinese. I've only had one Indian dish in my life but it was great.

French food kind of sucks though.

One of the best things about living where I do is the high population of immigrants which means good authentic food of your choice.

Want Pho'. No problem.
Want Mexican. No problem.
Want Cantonese. No problem.
Want Thai. No problem.

European resteraunts are harder to come by.

One of my personal favorites is the way Vietnamese prepare bbq pork over a bed of white rice. Hmmmmmm..

My favorite are those giant Americanized Chinese buffets. Nothing like dipping egg rolls in in that nasty sweet and sour sauce with a bit of hot mustard, and the infamous 'chicken on the stick'. (real buffet sign from my favorite place)

Anything Mediterranean - Italian, Greek, Spanish (mmmm tapas)
Anything Asian - Pad Thai, sushi, Thom Gai (sp?)

Every once in awhile, some Indian to keep the palate awake. There's even an Ethiopian place here. No kidding. It's really good, and an interesting place to eat - everything is served family style on one huge platter, and there's no silverware. Everything is eaten by scooping it up with small flatbread rounds. Bizarre, yes, but fun.

And let's not forget -- Velveeta and Rotel :twisted:

Indian food is actually pretty good, but it is not to visually appealing sometimes.

Also, forever burned into my mind is Temple of Doom and the fly mush Indiana ate in the desolate village. :shock:
