food-bev Your Top 5 Cuisines!

I guess it would be:
Mexican: its all the same
Italian: its all the same
Western: buffalo and elk lots of stews
American: burgers, chili, wings, open face with gravy, cheap frozen crap that you deep fry, casseroles
Casseroles: hobo stew type of stuff. Use what you have and make it work just dont expect to ever have the same flavor again


Does this qualify?

β€œSouthern” American. Fried meats, fish, poultry, plenty of pork fat and butter with the vegetables. You could also say β€œSoul food” interchangeably (according to my friends of color who eat my dishes..) Two categories in one I claim!
BBQ
Cajun/Creole
Chinese

What, no Gullah?

Now, I know shit-nothing about what I speak, lol. I just saw a show on PBS about it. Sounds delish.
 
Gullah- Geechee. Maybe a sub-category perhaps, but I count it as one and the same with what I know as "Southern" and "Soul food." Where I live and what I eat. I buy most of my tomatoes from the Fields family here on John's Island (none better). Great folks, known many of them for years.
Just found this vid.
 
Japanese: Chirashi-sushi.
Mexican: Cochinita pibil.
Peru: Seafood ceviche.
Indian: Chicken curry, pistachios and yogurt.
Indian:Samosa.
Mediterranean (Greece): Musaka.
Mediterranean (Turkey & Greece): Pilaf.
Mediterranean (Italy): Risotto.
Mediterranean (Morocco): Tajine.

...And a thousand more favorite foods that I want to eat all the time!
 
  • Southern/Soul
  • Cajun/Creole
  • Seafood Restaurant (Seafood sounds broad, but Seafood Restaurant is very specific; fresh seafood cooked various ways, fries, slaw, etc.
  • French (No one else, really?? My favorite for brunch foods and mussels frite!)
  • Thai (And I have been there, and caught my own fish to be cooked on Ko Phi Phi, and got to eat it with my toes in the sand. ALL of the curries!)
