What's your favorite cuisine?

Let's see American (steak, baked potato, hamburgers,smoked brisket etc.) followed very closely by Tex-Mex (chili con carne, cheese enchiladas - sharp cheddar only NO Velveta , chicken or beef tamales.)

Chinese...I make a mean General Tso chicken that is better than what we can get in a restaurant.

I am not a big fan of "americanized" cuisine. I have a cast iron stomach and most of the "hot" foods are mildly spicy for me.

Americanized doesn't mean that it isn't spicy. Most "Chinese" food you get in restaurants here isn't authentic Chinese food. Same with Mexican. Most people that like "Americanized" Chinese or Mexican food would HATE the authentic. I happen to be one of them. One of my best friends is married to someone that was born and raised in Mexico, and I've had authentic Mexican food before and I don't like it at all (and most of what I've had wasn't spicy or even intended to be).

Mexican, Japanese, Greek, simple and spicy is good with me too.

Seafood! Definitely seafood is my favorite!

I like Greek food, too, but I rarely remember the names of stuff, so we order a "mixed platter for two" when we go to our favorite Greek restaurant.

I've come through this thread salivating and murmuring, "yeah, me too". I love it all. I don't think there's any cuisine I don't like, though if I absolutely have to choose, I guess it would be the Asian cuisines that get the nod, then the Mediterranean ones, and always seafood. But name another, and I'll likely be saying, "yeah that too!" And I'll try anything once.

I realize that but I have many Asian friends who have taught me how to make food. I agree with the Mexican food I have had authentic and it was bland to me.

I like seafood and vegetables so I go for Japanese, Thai, Filipino, and food of other countries w/ lots of beaches and rivers.

I love Chinese food!

Italian

Japanese, with Thai coming in second but I like a lot of different types of food too, like Italian, Vietnamese, Greek, middle eastern, Chinese, Pakistani, French, American, etc... The only cuisine as a whole I can say I don't generally like is Mexican. I just don't like a lot of the common ingredients in it.

I don't like spicy food, or maybe I should say my palate doesn't like things that burn it. However it is easy to find dishes in most cuisines that are not spicy. A lot of people think all Thai food is spicy but you just have to look at the ingredients, not everything authentic is spicy.

Is food a cuisine? I love americanized/new zealandised chinese and mexican food too! I also love thai and indian food
