Hypothetical-- you can only choose two cuisines to eat for the rest of your life. What might they be? (media.piefed.social)

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)

Levantine and Belgian

Nothing beats a nice juicy shawarma with a waffle for desert. Ok maybe a Jet2 holiday beats it, idk.

Levantine and Belgian

Sorry, I don't mean to nitpick, but neither of those things are exclusively Levantine nor Belgian in culinary specialty.

Please do correct where I'm wrong, though.

American Soul Food (Ribs, Fried Chicken, Greens, Mac & Cheese, Buttermilk Biscuits, etc)

and Thai

Just gimme the (Black) American foods that no one else makes.

[–] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 1 points 4 weeks ago

Now... I go to my local Soul Food place all the time, and we... Thai, now?

(I probably screwed up the joke right there, didn't I?) :S

Mexican and middle eastern and I'd die happy

[–] Interstellar_1@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago

American / Canadian and arabic. Great Shwarma can be so flavorful and delicious. I also can't do without a great burger every once in a long while.

Indian and German .

My favourite main is lamb vindaloo and my favourite cake is black forest gateau. Additionally pretzels and pakoras are great snacks.

Brazillian and Brazillian again

British - obviously includes the greats like full English/Scottish breakfast, roast dinners, fish and chips, but also includes a wide varieties of Indian/Bangladeshi curries (Balti, Jalfrezi, Madras, Chicken Tikka Masala, etc), and similarly with westernised Chinese dishes.

American - mostly from the south: fried chicken, barbecue, jambalaya, gumbo, etc.
