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)

Japanese and Mexican I think.

[–] Elaine@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Mexican food and Chinese food - that should cover me pretty good. RIP Italian food, sushi, Indian, and American french fries.

Italian and Vietnamese. I’m from neither of the places, but their food is so much better than anything we’ve got.

Take the meat parts out and I'll eat almost anything.

Chinese, mostly Cantonese food, because I'm just so used to it.

Japanese, because sushi, ramen, robatayaki etc...

I just realized I actually haven't tried much food lol, too picky to try new things... sort of just ate whatever I grew up with...

What does the average westerner eat btw? I feel like my life is just a small bubble.

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago

Kimchi and macncheese. I could alternate every day

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

My local one and either Japanese or Chinese. These folks have nailed it, but I still want to eat something familiar as my staple.

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago

Chinese and Australian

Australian because we don't have a culture of food beyond appropriating the rest of the world's on corner stores and such.

A very cop out answer though

Chinese and pizza maybe?

[–] Playdoughrepublic@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago

Italian and Korean. I would count a lot of deli food in the Italian category, so you have pasta, pizza, baked dishes, and deli food. Then Korean for the BBQ and kimchi (to fix my stomach after fucking it up with all the deli food.)

[–] Nomad@infosec.pub 2 points 3 weeks ago

Japanese and Thai

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 weeks ago

South Asian first, probably Middle Eastern second

[–] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Italian: I can still eat pasta, rice dishes, cheeses, drink bomb coffee, have I memtioned pizza? & let's not start with desserts.

Thai: I can get all the spices and sweetness of SEA food.

Mexican and Italian

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

German and Indian. German for the breads and the sausages, Indian for the variety and spices.

[–] magusfungus@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

Japanese and Italian. What is life without katsukaree and pizza?

[–] itsralC@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago

Mediterranean and mediterranean

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

Probably vietnamese and mexican

[–] TheOakTree@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I could probably live forever off of Korean and Caribbean food.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 2 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

My problem with picking a cuisine is what that means.

It has become a gripe amongst Italian-Americans where I live that their cuisine isn't considered to be Italian because Italy has changed in a different direction from their traditional cooking. The Italian-Americans can trace some recipes and practices to those who just got off the boat, but those practices don't reflect modern Italian cuisine.

I'd probably pick Italian as one of my cuisines, but I don't know if my practices would match the current cooking practices from the nation-state of Italy.
