Whose cuisine reigns supreme?

Sonnenburg · Post by **Sonnenburg** » 2003-02-02 08:25pm

Question: What's the difference between Chinese food and Italina food.

Asnwer: five bucks a plate.

Another classic from They Call Me Bruce.

Anyway, hard to top that Italian cuisine.

Yes it is, dumbass. The pizza we enjoy in the states isn't like Italian pizza though. It was created to make a lot quickly.

No. What is it?

It's a very good sod fish and fries plate or a blow job given by the waitress, depending on how lucky you are.

ON topic, however, I love food. Doesn't matter what kind. Just as long as my stomach can handle it.

And it should be WHOSE cuisine... not who's. That would be who is cuisine reigns supreme. Makes no sense.

sorry... I'm a stickler a lot when it comes to being gramatically correct.

Hmmm...then for the Portuguese part.....hmmmmmmmm, well that depends on the waitress.

As for Food...like I said Chinese or Italian are my faves...but honestly anything with flavor I like.

Though amazing what I make vs what I go out and eat or make for friends and family is two entirily different things. I cook very simple dishes for myself, while for others I make giant productions out of it all...so odd.

Other: Russian. I really like Russian food.

Cajun food, by far. Though I'm a biased Cajun bastard, sue me or something.

Italian
Chinese
Greek
Egyptian
Japanese
Mexican (as in 'actually from/in Mexico'--none of this fake American shit)

Come down here, Zaia. We have PLENTY of restaurants run by Mexicans. Good food too. It's amazing that with as many Mexicans as their are in my town, there isn't even a tienda.

A friend of mine runs a restaurant in Mexico, and when I was there visiting I ate there and had some of THE BEST food in my life. Barbequed chicked, beans, the cole-slaw stuff, and some other goodies all rolled up--mmmmmm!! So unbelievably good!

So, NC has real Mexican food? For real? *raises one eyebrow sceptically* You sure?

Hmmm, I do have some family outside of Raleigh....

Make me cry, why don't ya, jeez.

Excellent point about loving food in general, BTW.

I screwed up and edited out American as a poll option.

NOBODY voted French?

Give me a bowl of spaghetti, marinara sauce, and a heaping potato on the side to soak up the sauce when I'm done.

And that my friends, is Italian.

Have you ever had French food? It's magically delicious.

Well, I fixed that and lost the damned poll. Chinese was winning at 12 votes, Italian was second. Essen mein Schiesse!

Sorry, not so, Kelly.

Real, traditional Neapolitan pizza is as follows:

Dough, tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, basil. Put in excruciatingly hot brick oven for precisely sixty seconds, remove and serve.

Anyways, while I like Dim Sum, I prefer Vietnamese food over it (pho is the greatest of all soups!)

Iceberg · Post by **Iceberg** » 2003-02-02 11:44pm

Winona has no fewer than five Chinese restaurants (Golden China, Great Wall Buffet, Great Hunan, China Star Buffet and Winona Garden). Of the five, Winona Garden has the best hot and sour soup. Perhaps the best hot and sour soup I've ever had. Great Hunan is a close second; the other three have hot and sour soup best described as cornstarchy dishwater with a little vinegar added.

Mmmm... Winona Garden... I'm going to have to go there for lunch again sometime very soon...

Italian food is the greatest, Spaghetti Bolognese particulary and they make good wine to go with it too.

But the difference between Real pizza, and what they serve in Pizza Hut and the lot is, that a real pizza isn't consisting of 90% dough, instead they are very thin.
Argh, I hate those inch-thick dough...things they call pizza...

Hendrake · Post by **Hendrake** » 2003-02-03 09:35am

Italian food is the greatest. Especially when washed down by good wine.

And I don't mean just pasta, but the whole lot of Italian food.
