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)
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.
If Indian qualifies as one single cuisine
I guess you’re probably right. India is a large country, with roots, cultures and traditions like an ancient sequoia tree’s vast, extensive roots in the ground.
So just out of curiosity (especially as an ignorant Westerner), just how many distinct cuisines would you say there might be across India and the India-adjacent regions?
Note: let’s try to avoid going ‘regional’ if possible, because any nation can be broken down in to heaps of regional variations, yeah?
Indian and italian
Mediterranean and Thai.
Italian and Japanese
In this house, we serve both kinds of cuisine: macaroni and cheese!
Now if that’s a BLUES BROTHERS reference, I love it!!
Italian and Mexican. That covers about 50% of my diet already.
Take the meat parts out and I’ll eat almost anything.
Like my in-laws… Hmmm here’s a great new hummus and salad! Yeah we sprinkled chicken, pork, beef, and shrimp powder and other meat products. It doesn’t change the flavor, we just like gout so much.
Perfectly good meal + smear some dead animal on it.
I’m with you folks, on the whole. A well-prepared, complete-protein vegetarian meal rocks, especially with lots of complimentary seasoning.
Does gout come from consuming animal products? Hmm, I hadn’t heard that, before.
Take the meat parts out and I’ll eat almost anything.
Stuff like cabbage (and Brassica sp.) are best cooked, because otherwise they can be goitrogenic, interfering with the thyroid gland’s function over time. There’s also the (admittedly slim) chance that some animal has passingly added something undesirable to a veggie, be it parasite or disease-causing.
Which is why it’s important to do either a mild chlorine wash of any veggies you eat, or at least blanch them. (not trying to lecture anyone here; all that’s just my personal understanding)
From personal experience getting stranded in s foreign country as a kid with my dad unable to walk or move due to uric acid and gout, your worst offenders are red meat, pork and shrimp. Shrimp surprisingly being the worse one. But carry a long needle syringe to get your knees back on the road sooner! LOL.
My opinion is that a little meat is OK. I don’t eat meat but I can see where others need it like a drug.
others need it like a drug
Wow, actually… yeah?
Thai and Iranian. That’d cover a large spectrum of what I like.
Burger
Eastern, western
Northern and southern
Japanese & Mediterranean.
What an incredibly difficult question to answer. Mexican and Chinese probably. Hokkien noodles are so fucking good
Mexican and middle eastern and I’d die happy
Levantine and Belgian
Nothing beats a nice juicy shawarma with a waffle for desert. Ok maybe a Jet2 holiday beats it, idk.
Levantine and Belgian
Sorry, I don’t mean to nitpick, but neither of those things are exclusively Levantine nor Belgian in culinary specialty.
Please do correct where I’m wrong, though.
I’m not exactly specifying that they’re originally from these regions, but just the fact that they’re most well known for being associated with these regions. They’re the first place that comes to my mind when I hear these dishes.
Couscous isn’t exclusively Moroccan either, but when I hear couscous, the first place that comes to mind is Morocco.
Ah, okay!
Me, I was only a toddler when I lived a year in Belge, and have no idea what good food would be like from either the French or Flemish areas. :S
Classic Belgium.
Can someone tell me every dish here please.
Recipes too if you have the time
