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)

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

If Indian qualifies as one single cuisine - then Indian. I'll have enough dishes to try out in my lifetime and that's after considering I am vegetarian.

Italian and Japanese

I feel like you people are forgetting about Greek cuisine. The worst Greek food is still decent.

Italian and Mexican. That covers about 50% of my diet already.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 4 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Excellent choice. I hope you're happy with barbecue, fast food hamburgers, and all-day breakfast.

Indian food is great because it packs tons of flavor with minimal calories

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Doubts about the second part.
The ghee is used abundantly, they fry a lot and if not there's always a tadka to poor over it.
Depends OC on what region or religion.
Silly to lump everything into 'Indian' as it's huge and has many cuisines.

If I didn't have dietary restrictions the Vietnamese and Puerto Rican (with Mexican essentially tied).

[–] WellroundedKi@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Japanese & Mediterranean.

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Initially I thought French and Chinese, but I love pizza so much, and Greek food is so delicious too.

So, I found a compromise: Mediterranean and Chinese 😋

[–] transscribe7891@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

stir fry and pizza

[–] Bunbury@feddit.nl 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Italian and Vietnamese. I’m from neither of the places, but their food is so much better than anything we’ve got.

Japanese and Mexican I think.

[–] Elaine@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Mexican food and Chinese food - that should cover me pretty good. RIP Italian food, sushi, Indian, and American french fries.

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
