If you had to eat one culture's cuisine for an entire year, which one would you chose?

[MrScorpio]

I'd eat Greek for a year, without a doubt!

[EndersDame]

1. I was gonna say tex mex but i would probably end up gaining at least 20lb

[proteus_lives]

2. Indian!

Rice, beans, endless chicken dishes. Drool!

[BuyingThyme]

3. Mexican.

[flvegan]

4. Thai.

Easy to stay vegan and enjoy the tastiness.

[Robeson]

5. Italian.

[WCGreen]

10. Yep, I could easily eat Italian every day...

[MissHoneychurch]

22. Yup

I'd have no problems eating Italian each day for a year :9

[Broken_Hero]

[DFW]

29. If I can get it cholesterol-free, then Indian

Otherwise, it's a tossup between Japanese and Thai.

[Juche]

13. Greek or Chinese

Chinese is good, but I worry I'd get malnutrition from not having enough diversity.
So probably greek.

[csziggy]

14. American - that covers just about everything else!

:think: :patriot:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. My dear csziggy!

GMTA!

My choice as well...

:fistbump:

[Strong Atheist]

56. Beat me to it! nt.

[Duer 157099]

16. Depends. Do I have to pay for it and do I have to make it?

If I'm not paying or cooking, then Thai. Or Chinese.

If I'm cooking and paying, then Italian.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

17. Oh, Chinese -

the endless diversity, the flavors, the heat, the cool, the incredible range of that cuisine would keep me happy for a year - and longer..............................

[Adsos Letter]

18. Chinese!!

:9

[JonLP24]

19. I was leaning towards Mexican when I saw the title

But when I saw the OP Greek without a doubt. I love gyro. :9

[leeroysphitz]

20. Laplander. n/t

Kind of strange that the French are supposed to have the penultimate in cuisine but no one to this point has chosen French.

[seemunkee]

27. French

[tainted_chimp]

78. +1

just add wine!

*drooool*

[TK421]

30. I would have to agree with you

[Rabrrrrrr]

31. You mean, had to eat ALL of it in a year? I'd choose the smallest culture I could find.

Imagine taking China - that's a shitload of food!

Or India - forget it.

Gimme Monaco.

[midnight armadillo]

32. INDIAN

I could convert for the rest of my life.

[DFW]

[Shell Beau]

38. No question. ITALIAN!!!

MMMMM!! :9

[LiberalEsto]

39. Indian vegetarian

Italian and Lebanese are my 2nd and 3rd choices

[Forkboy]

40. Italian, easily.

[Gormy Cuss]

41. Chinese or Indian.

It would take me years to be bored with either of these richly diverse cuisines.

[Bucky]

42. New Guinea - I just LOVE oysters Rockefeller!

It's a cuisine worth exploring.

[MrScorpio]

51. You're one sick puppy

I love sick puppies

[KamaAina]

43. Probably Chinese 'cause there are so many regional variations

thus allowing me a bit of culinary wiggle room. :-) Indian would work well in this regard also.

edit: spelling

[undeterred]

44. The White House.

[deoxyribonuclease]

45. Chinese

I grew up eating mom's home-cooked Chinese food almost every day. Regional diversity and several thousand years of practice and experimentation means lots of dishes to choose from.

Otherwise it'd have to be either Vietnamese or Mexican (or Indian, as long as I'm not the one cooking it).

[Nuclear Unicorn]

46. Can I cheat...

...and say I want all 4 Japanese chefs from the original Iron Chef as my cooks.

They're all from the same culture.

:9

[Demoiselle]

47. Italian. Or Julia Child. (nt)

[unpossibles]

48. Either Thai or Mexican

I already come close to this for both...

[Taverner]

49. Mexican. I would say Thai but I already did that - for 3 years

[TxRider]

53. +1

[subcomhd]

71. I did Mexican for three. Now it's only about 2/3ds of my diet.

So fuck yeah, I'll do the reverse and say Thai.

[Vidar]

50. Thai.

[Justyce]

52. Mexican, no contest. nt

[lukasahero]

54. Indian eom

[stray cat]

55. American - it uses everyone elses....

[Bucky]

57. ah yes, traditional American cuisine...

I SAID "EAT"!!!




 

[quakerboy]

86. Wouldnt Brit food be even more inclusive?

Being the heart of the empire and an island and all... seems to me the best Indian food I ever had was there. In fact, so good, that it was still good the second time. Only place in my life I can say that of.

[City of Mills]

58. Probably Indian or Southeast Asian

I never seem to get sick of either!

[Kali]

60. Mexican (northern)

of course I pretty much eat that way most of the time anyway:crazy:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

61. Indian or Chinese or Japanese

I much prefer the Asian cuisines to any other kind.

When I cook at home, a curry is always what pops into my mind.

[Rob H.]

62. Thai

For a vegetarian, Asian cuisine is definitely the way to go.

[backwoodsbob]

63. Chinese

no question

[pitohui]

64. italian and next year i'd do france

greek/turkish is ok too

most of the asian cuisines are too high in sodium, great taste, but you're gonna kill yourself

now if you ever wanna lose a lot of weight whether you want to lose any weight or not, i'm sorry to say it, but i invite you to travel the beautiful land of madagascar where i strongly suggest you pack south beach bars or something so you don't lose 20-plus pounds before you can even bat an eye...

[Louisiana1976]

65. Mexican.

[LanternWaste]

66. Tex-Mex... no doubt about it.

Tex-Mex... no doubt about it. Spicy meats grilled over hickory. Darn-- now I'm hungry and the leftover tuna helper just isn't going to cut it. :P

[sakabatou]

67. Chinese

[ellaydubya]

68. That would be Mexican- my final answer!!!!

I love my Mexican food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:toast: :bounce:

[lutefisk]

69. Norwegian

Or maybe Chinese or Indian or Thai...

:shrug:

[azmouse]

72. Italian!!

[tigereye]

74. me, too! I love Greek food.

[NNadir]

75. I used to love Indian food, until I went to India, and had to eat it for weeks.

It didn't help that I went with my boss at the time, a terrible alcoholic, who insisted on drinking and drinking and drinking - and having everyone else drink with him - on the company budget.

I'll still have a beer very occassionally, but mostly I don't drink, just from hanging out with that toxic fool.

I can't say that I didn't love Italy and France though, although most of the times I went to these countries, I was alone.

French food is suprisingly electic, as is Italian food in Italy, but for electicism there is no country like the good ole' USA.

Here you can have everything which is the great thing about living in a multi-cultural country.

[havocmom]

76. Chinese

with Greek a close second

[Rowdyboy]

Not my top favorite, but would have the lowest burnout factor.
