Thread: Favorite ethnic foods

ehhh, that greek food, nothing special

now thai food mmmmm omggggg *drool*

yeah thai food is the bomb give me some spicy thai basil, triple spicy, yeah buddy that is what it is all about

I am definately partial to the mexican food. that will be my downfall I believe

Oooh, don't get me started I love indian food, mexican thai.. Greek souvlaki and kalamari And OMG italian

I just like food

Indian is my favorite.

Being from TX, I am a huge fan of Tex-mex also.

Czech cooking, specifically bread products and desserts, I am also a big fan of. Ethiopian cuisine is a very solid choice as well imo.

Come to think of it, I haven't found an international cuisine that I am not fond of yet!

In no particular order.....

Thai, Indonesian, Indian, Mexican, Malaysian, Chinese, Italian, and I guess I have to say.....Japanese

Greek I`ve yet to try as I`m not big on sea food.

You should try Brazilian food.
There are some many foods, one of those foods is called "Feijoada" a mix of black beans with cow and pork.
I am searching for more to post here.

Yes, it is barbecue but we take it to a whole other level.
Search for it in USA, almost any state you can find a restaurant serving brazilian barbecue = churrasco.

REAL Mexican, not that wanna-be stuff.

Matzoh ball soup!

What about the swedish meatballs or Smorgasbord? Sweden gets no lovin these days

Now that I pointed that out, I have to admit that it's not the best thing ever

Mexican, Italian, Chinese, Polish....
I LOVE IT ALL

Jenny; I still have no idea what a smörgåsbord is, is it a table packed with sandwiches or what? (smörgåsbord=sandwichtable)

And stop knocking swedish homely fare (yupp thats the frase, I looked it up), only food not worthy of eating is english and danish food.

brazilian is great. There is a brazilian steakhouse (Fogo de Chao) in Atlanta and IMO the best place here.

Most greek food is not seafood

Well I love swedish meatballs. Never had a smorgasbord though.

Does the US Northeast count as ethnic food

Seafood, seafood and more seafood. :o

Also enjoy, italian, greek, thai, mexican, indian, creole, sushi. I could go on

Have you guys ever tried Cuban food? Tried it once and was hooked. I can't eat it too often cuz its hella greasy (atleast what I order). My fav is Garlic chicken and this mashed potato type ball with ground beef inside.

Vieope, that food looks tasty.

Churrasco is great. I llove the food at the local churrasqueria here, they make good piri-piri chicken.

My ex-girl (very, very recently separated, a year and a half relationship, ugh) is East Indian...I can safely say that even before that relationship Indian food was/is my favourite ethnic food on the planet. A good chicken biryani is ridiculous. I approve of their fixation with beans and legumes, too, haha.

Also, I'm not entirely sure if N'Awlins food qualifies as ethnic food. Cheese grits, gumbo, jambalaya, mmmmm....

Damn, I forgot to mention that sashimi is my favourite food on the planet. Last summer I ate sashimi five times a week, amazing source of protein, and I'm loving all the different textures and subtle flavours. Swordfish is probably my favourite, I love ahi-ahi and sea urchin too. Sashimi plain w/o soya sauce is nirvana.

Peace.

also how could i forget the grub mongolian barbecue, and that creole/cajun food, gotta love those spices

Well, I grew up in San Antonio Tx so I am partial to mexican cooking, but cajun food is probably my favorites. I also enjoy "soul food"..... greens (collard, mustard, or turnip), chicken fried steak, fried chicken, etc (obviously, very rarely). We do eat greens quite often.

Oh, I almost forgot. German food. IT ROCKS!!!

Germans have the best food, but all food is good. Im a garbage disposal

Everything in here is yummy! except for the desserts

Growing up in So.Cal, you learn what REAL Mexican food is and how hard it is to stay away. Especially since I can be across the border at a restraunt on the beach in less than an hour!

Mmmmmm Carne Asada

Yeah biryani rules! I like with chicken and goat. My favorite has to be asian cuisine. Chinese, thai, ..........
