Mmmmm is steak a cuisine?


I do love steak and seafood, so I guess American/Australian/whatever country you're in/Western cuisine.

When it comes to foreign food though, I think Mexican is my favourite. Then Indian, and anything Asian - Chinese, Thai, Japanese (sushi)...

Definitely West Indian!!

I love Italian food, but with all of the cheese I can't really eat it without feeling sick.

I enjoy Greek food too, but find it extremely greasy.

I also love Chinese food, unfortunately the amount of salt in it causes me to swell up like a balloon.

And I'm with Sarah! I love a good steak! Medium rare!

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
Anything Gary cooks, though country french is what he does best.

I LOVE indian food if done properly, and it's just SO HARD TO FIND here in the U.S. I particularly love South Indian food, and know of exactly one restaurant out on Long Island that has one. I'm pretty sure I couldn't eat that level of spice anymore though, it takes a while to get there.

But I love most eithnic foods. Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Mexican, Brazilian...

I do NOT like "nuveaux" (or however you spell it) cuisine, and I hate the strange combinations of stuff they come up with in so many upscale restaurants in LA and NY.

Nouvelle Cuisine. Yeah! I'm not much for that either. I can handle the lighter calorie, but the emphasis in Nouvelle cuisine is on the presentation, which means more plate than food. It's ok if you are wanting a snack, but if you are looking for a serious meal that will fill you up, Nouvelle cuisine isn't it.

The "fusion" foods aren't my favorite, either. We have a Turkish restaurant in town, though, that makes better pizza than the two Italian restaurants across the street from it.
I love Turkish food!

Tough question for me since it depends on my mood that day.

Love oriental and slavic from all respective countries, Italian, French, Mexican and Island foods. From the U.S., love Tex Mex, Cajun, BBQ, and the good old steak & potatoes.

There isn't much food that I really don't like. There are only certain ingredients that I refuse to eat, and if a food is made with that ingredient, I won't touch it.

Italian. I like far more Italian dishes than I do of anything else, and it's something I tend to cook a lot of myself.

I've gotten to be a pickier eater with a more sensitive stomach the older I get, so I almost want to say Bland Food.
But no, I'm not that bad... i don't think.


Is Soup a cuisine? I love making soups and stews, even in summer. Either something new from a recipe, or just throwing everything in a pot and hoping it tastes good (usually does!).

I love a lot of Italian foods, pizza, pasta, all that starchy carb stuff with tomatoes and cheese and basil... MMMM! I like to go out for certain things, and other things I much prefer to make myself so I can make them vegetarian.

I also like Greek/Mediterranean foods, falafel as long as it's not too spicy, feta cheese and olives, spanikopita, homemade pitas and homemade hummus... MMM!

French first and foremost with Italian a close second.

I don't like Asian food much at all and I've had a couple bad experiences with Mexican food.
