I think I would pick Japanese. There's just so much variety I find and I already eat mostly Asian food as it is.

Italian. It's all about the pasta

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

French. My life would indubitably be shorter from all the cheese and wine and butter, but I'd go out on a high note.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Italian would be similar, but more tomatoes, pizza, and pasta.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I think the carbs alone would be just too much for me. I do love Italian though.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yep japanese is a good shout. It's not my favourite but it's probably best pick if its the only thing you can eat.

It's that or something stupidly broad like 'Mediterranean' lol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Probably the best choice for health.

As a Russian living in France... Answer is "Indian"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Indian, for sure. Gimme all the paratha and daal!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Either American or Mexican.

American because I really, really like eggs and hashbrowns and don't want to lose them. And my comfort foods are, unsurprisingly, all American so I'd want to maintain access to those. I like other foods, but comfort foods are set in childhood, so...

Or I would choose Mexican because the ingredients are largely native to the area. Grocery prices are kinda stupid, so local ingredients help keep the cost down.

I'd maybe cheat and say UK, seeing as they appropriated so many other cultures' foods. Although I could probably live on tikka massala alone.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

dammit! i was gonna say “modern australian”… its basically asian fusion crossed with bistro but the dessert is always pavlova

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Hmm, I'll allow it, lol

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Just had this discussion. We settled on Thai.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

i would most likely choose italian, mainly because of pizza and pasta. depending on if it counts, alternatively i would choose german because we stole a lot of dishes from all over the globe.

Korean. Enough spices in their food for most people with huge variety in taste

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Being Korean, this would be my 2nd choice, but it was close to being #1

Mexican, I think. I know that I've been raised on Americanized, white people Mexican food, but I do try to push myself and find more authentic places where I can. I love the flavors and I know there's a lot more for me to explore.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

All I need to survive are tacos.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I mean, fr.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Scottish (McDonalds)

I'll be biased as shit and say Egyptian. We have too many delicious stuff that the rest of the world barely touches.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I’m curious to hear- can you give some examples?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

So first there's one of my personal faves, molokhiya soup (or just molokhiya). We shred molokhiya leaves, heat them in broth, add fried garlic and voila. Literally the best.

There's also koshari, which is also the best.

Egyptian cooking is pretty unique in general so there are tons of examples of Egyptian that's not really popular anywhere else, but the big ones are these two and mahshi.

South Indian. So much flavour and a near endless amount of plant based (or easily converted) dishes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Finland. It's just what I'm used to and what I know how to make.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Probably Thai or Italian. Love me my noodles.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Whatever allows me to eat lots of cheese

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I'd say definitely Mexican, French, or Italian.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Indian or thai

French. It is very divers and delicious. I love bread, I love cheese, couldn't leave without those.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

As a French I agree! Now if I have to cook it all myself maybe I'll change my mind haha
