Your favorite cuisine

[buritobr]

Which one is your favorite cuisine?

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Portugese

[Meclazine for Israel]

After working in a French colony, I have to go with the frogs.

They know food.

[Ban my account ffs!]

All of them.  Except Icelandic, probably.  Sheeps heads, pissy tasting shark, and sour yogurt are the kinds of things I just can't make myself like.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I really only like 'Merican food. Mexican, Thai, Indian, etc, is all too spicy. I like soul food and the Appalachian oriented stuff my Grandma cooks (biscuits with gravy and applesauce to dip it in is in particular a very, very awesome breakfast).

[Santander]

French cuisine is objectively the best. (the word itself is proof) Italian and Moroccan occupy the next tier for me, followed closely by Israeli, Malay and Tamil.

[LLR]

Chinese (normal Jewish stereotype)

[Enduro]

I like pieces of all of them, except Portugese, Brazillian, Argentine, Thai, and Japanese because I haven't tasted anything from those as far as I know.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Middle Eastern, since most American food is inedible for me

[Mr. Smith]

Nothing beats the absolute best Italian (although German, French, and Japanese come close). Leave the gun, take the cannoli is famous for a reason.

However, the worst Chinese food offends me the least, whereas really badly done Italian food is tragically generic.

[morgieb]

Indian probably narrrowly over Thai or Italian. I like all these cuisines though (except Argentinan which I haven't tried). Local Chinese takeaways can be bland as hell but go to your city's Chinatown and you get some awesome flavours.

[White Trash]

The real answer, Southern food, is noticeably absent from the list.

That's part of 'Murican food.

[fhtagn]

My mom's side is Alaskan Native, and I grew up on traditional foods from the village.

My favorite of which is muktuk (whale blubber and skin - usually bowhead, but sometimes beluga).  I prefer it raw with a little bit of salt on the side to dip it in. But sometimes it's eaten fried.

[angus]

I like all sorts of food, and have been able to find good food in every country I've visited, but when I'm in china I eat very well every day, every meal, and for cheap, so I voted for chinese food. 

[White Trash]

That's part of 'Murican food.

That's debatable. There's a big difference between po' boy and a hoagie.

I have no idea of either of those are... so he may have a point.

Or a po' boy and a muffaletta. But in the end they are all sandwiches => English.

The best cuisines are the ones that make most effective use (that is, preparation preserves nutrients) of the sources of Calories available to them, in a way that doesn't deplete or stress the environment.

Italian is the best for fulfilling all criteria, while traditional American is the world's worst for failing every one of them.

[Xing]

Chinese (normal Jewish stereotype)

This, though I'm pickier than most, since I've had the real deal before.

[Sopranos Republican]

Eyetalian food. (I have a half-Italian mom who knows how to cook)

[Storebought]

Eyetalian food. (I have a half-Italian mom who knows how to cook)

But is it real Italian, with separate primi piatii and secondi piatti? Because if it isn't, it's just more American cooking.

[Lachi]

Japanese. Seriously if you ever get the opportunity to go to Japan one day... GO THERE, THE FOOD IS AMAZING!

I've been fortunate to try a lot of good cuisine.  What I often find is:

Italian is overrated judging by the quality of Italian food most people eat.  It is a cuisine poorly understood by non-Italians and even more poorly executed.  Your food should be almost overwhelming with flavor.  Whether from the sweat, blood, and seasoning poured into the sauce or the freshness of the ingredients.  Yet overcooked pasta with bland tomato sauce and bland meatballs seems to rule.

Hence this little bleep of mine: "whereas really badly done Italian food is tragically generic"

Americanized Mexican and Chinese are both awesome, obviously.  Cajun is also very good.
