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)

Chinese food! More specifically, Sichuan and Northwestern style food.

I don't need to pick a second one.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Indian and Mexican. As a pescatarian married to someone who can't eat soy or eggs, we're already more or less doing that. Though Italian will be missed. Fourth would be American because unfortunately that's what we are

New York style pizza and Chicago style pizza. I can't see this going poorly for me, ever.

Japanese or Mexican probably.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

American, and Mexican.

[–] guynamedzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

1: something East Asian; Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Thai. I’d be happy with any of them, I just can’t decide.

2: something Hispanic/South American, basically just Mexican food.

With any two in those categories there’s enough variety for me to spend my life eating

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Peruvian and Mexican

[–] Horsey@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

French, Thai

[–] Schlemmy@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

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 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week 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.

Indian and italian

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago

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

[–] squinky@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

In this house, we serve both kinds of cuisine: macaroni and cheese!

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 😋

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

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