Favorite International Cuisine

[Belsnickel]

So, what'cha like? Don't just say Asian or anything, get regional even if you can.

I'm a German food man. And not just the typical stuff of Bavaria that we are used to calling German here in the U.S. I'm talking the food of north-west Germany as well. Though Käsespätzle and Nuremwurst have a special place in my heart.

Actually I like Mexican food the best.

Mostly Tex-Mex, but I also like some traditional Mexican food like mole and some seafood dishes.

OK, to be more specific I would say Mongolian. Pretty much consider a cross between Chinese and Japanese. Pick ingredients that are consistent with Chinese  cuisine and have them cooked Japanese style.

Japanese. Love sushi and all the grilled stuff. I prefer sea food over most other meats, but western cuisine isn't as good with it, unless its just some sea food with western type side dishes.

Beaver. It is different and delicious all over the world.

That's because western seafood prep is all about making it taste different. Japanese seafood is so clean, usually. Seafood and pork are my proteins of choice, so I get you.

I'm with Benton here.  Japanese is top notch....mostly because of the Sushi and the simplistic grilled seafood.  Sushi really is some top notch eats.

Second, I'd go with Cajun food.  I know that it's a regional domestic food, but that doesn't take away from its unique awesomeness.

Both utilize seafood heavily which might be why I like them so much.

Yum! The other yellow meat!

My favorite is Northern Italian interpretation of dishes like Saltimbocca, Fettuccine Alfredo, sausages and varieties of cheese.

If I didn't have young kids, I'd swear off red meat. I can cook everything I prefer to eat with seafood and pork, or chicken. But it's a challenge and expensive to cook for kids or eat out in the south and not include some red meat on a daily basis.

Hah, would probably be mine, too. I like the spice and fresh vegetables in a lot of Cajun cooking that you don't find with Japanese. 

I also like a lot of Cuban/Cafribbean stuff. Simple dishes, but lots of flavor.

I used to go to a little Cuban place to get what I called "soul food".  Greens, beans and rice, sweet potatoes.
