For me it's Indian food, but then... what else? Ugh... what a question.

Bah. My mind is a whirling blank right here. I mean, freshly-prepared tiradito right off the boat is like... ffff, like tasting heaven.

I mean, I've never had *truly* fresh, truly authentic sushi, but I imagine it would be like tiradito? (note: it's a form of ceviche, i.e. latino lime-cooked fish slices)

Probably vietnamese and mexican

Does "American" count as a cuisine? 'Cause it encompasses just about everything else, as long as I don't need it to be "authentic."

Mediterranean and mediterranean

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Mexican and Chinese.

But like the american type chinese takeout with a seventeen page menu of sushi and bubble teas I will never once get. And the mexican restaurants that also serve americanized tacos, so you know everything else has extra cheese and sauce.

Cajun, and I could stop there. Cajun food is hands down the best of the Southern US foods. Then it's a toss up between Mexican, Tex-Mex, or Greek. I might have a thing for spicy meats/fish and flat breads

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

German and Indian. German for the breads and the sausages, Indian for the variety and spices.

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Indian and Thai, but I'd really miss pho.

That being said, no way I don't grill some steaks and burgers and brats..

I would miss Mexican for sure but this is also my answer.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

For my mouth and dopamine, Italian. For my health, Greek.

[–] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Eh, but why GREEK..?

(I'm assuming you're not referring to the gross slabs of reconstituted meat, roasting unhealthily on the rotisserie?)

[–] Horta@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 days ago

There's tons of Greek vegetarian dishes. Gyros and souvlaki are not your average every day home cooked meals.

American, and Mexican.

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Give me Japanese, and give me Thai.

Japanese cuisine runs far and deep, and so does Thai food.

Of course, this begs the question: what about a good burger with kewpie on it, or what happens if I put carnitas in pad thai? Where’s the delineations?

Eventually I can argue that frosted animal crackers, the pink and white ones, furthest from any kind of national or regional cuisine whatsoever, are Thai food cause they’ve been eaten by Thai people.

Mexican and Italian

Asian and Italian. I’ll go Japanese if you want more specific than Asian, ooh or maybe Thai. Hard one

[–] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Italian: I can still eat pasta, rice dishes, cheeses, drink bomb coffee, have I memtioned pizza? & let's not start with desserts.

Thai: I can get all the spices and sweetness of SEA food.

Middle Eastern and Middle Eastern (I should probably give other cuisines a try). There's a lot more to this stuff than shawarma, y'all.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 days ago

South Asian first, probably Middle Eastern second

[–] Playdoughrepublic@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

Italian and Korean. I would count a lot of deli food in the Italian category, so you have pasta, pizza, baked dishes, and deli food. Then Korean for the BBQ and kimchi (to fix my stomach after fucking it up with all the deli food.)

[–] tomenzgg@midwest.social 1 points 2 days ago

Haitian and German

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago

Chinese and Australian

Australian because we don't have a culture of food beyond appropriating the rest of the world's on corner stores and such.

A very cop out answer though

Chinese and pizza maybe?

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Mexican and italian. Mexican and Indian, mexican and korean.

So many options!!

[–] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 days ago

Korean and Italian

My local one and either Japanese or Chinese. These folks have nailed it, but I still want to eat something familiar as my staple.
