But, I'm Italian all the way. And the Finnish cuisine isn't all that horrendous, if you just ignore the cabbage foods and mämmi.

Just made a great indonesianish stir fry with peanut sauce, fresh pineapple, and lots of shallots. Can still taste it

You know nothing Imran, nothing

Wasn't a greasy stir-fry and there wasn't any soy-sauce or anything in it which I agree would be gross. There was a lot of really nice peanut sauce that made the noodles nice and wet and the pineapple soaked up that flavor and the tumeric and cumin. Came pretty close to being curried noodles and anyone who knows anything knows pineapple is great in curry

Starchild's top faves:

Chinese. Mmmmmmmm. Spicy Schezhuan, colourful and varied Cantonese. Hearty Beijing area grub. Steamed buns stuffed with pork. Fried rice. Twice cooked beef simmering in soy sauce. Tea eggs and mooncakes. Dim sum. Peking duck with hoi sin sauce in rice pancakes.

Japanese. So healthy yet so good. Sushi. Sashimi. Yakatori. Miso soup, stick dumplings, and habachi. Sake!

Vietnamese. Pho. 'nough said.

Indian. Vindaloo, madras, and korma oh my! Somosas, chutney, naan bread, pappadums, roti. Bright red, fiery hot curry that stains the fingers and turns the rice yellow!

Greek. I live off of chicken slovaki wrapped in a hot pita when I'm at work.

British. Don't laugh, but when I'm sick/depressed I long for welsh rabit made by my mum or a hearty roast with yorkshire puddings.

They are all delicious foods!!!


I can relate.

I love me some good traditional Norwegian cuisine, but I can understand that foreigners don't get all happy and drooling when faced with fish in various stages of decay.

I still love it though, even though I mostly eat rakfisk during Christmas.

I used to think I _liked_ or _didn't like_ various cuisines. Only when I started traveling a bit more and experienced the awesome variety available did I realize --

It's the cook, not the cuisine.

That being said, a great chef in the mode of country French beats anything else I've tried.

Japanese - without doubt. And not just for sushi/sashimi (though you've gotta love fresh salmon sashimi or a spicy tuna roll). I challenge anyone to try the smoked black cod from Kamei Royale in Vancouver, B.C. and try to claim any cuisine has produced something more incredible. The Japanese selection is pretty pedestrian here in NYC, but I can still get my weekly fix of goma-ae, ebi sumitomo and (for the fat lover in all of us) tonkatsu. Makes me hungry just typing about it.

Thai plot Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

I just read in the current The Economist that the Thai government is increasing the aid it gives to thai restaurants around the world and will make it easier for new ones to open, as a sort of gastronomical diplomacy. So all of those that love Thai, it is all a Bangkok plot!

I should have picked SE asian. I really don't know enough about the foods to tell the difference. I actually picked chinese.

But my friend who is half Thai has taken me to Thai restaurants. And of course the spiceyness (made up word) was very nice. Something I don't find in most chinese food. But the spiceyness wasn't too overwhelming like some masochists I know that order special hot sauce from special companies to put on their wings and such. I prefer not to expel pure fire when I sit on the toilet.
