Ask Lemmy

Mediterranean and mediterranean

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

How has no one said French? French for me please

parenteral nutrition.

Because I'm dying and I have no choice.

Japanese and Mexican for the sake of the question. It's what I grew up eating, and I hate the idea of being without my familiar comfort foods.

Truthfully though, I love eating too much to limit myself regionally or to just two countries. There's so much I haven't tried.

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

I natively cook California Fusion. Which is, uh, everything, everywhere, all at once.

Thinking of cuisines as regional or ethnic is so 1900s.

Brazillian and Brazillian again

Pizza. Endless combinations available.

Mexican and Italian

Chinese food! More specifically, Sichuan and Northwestern style food.

I don't need to pick a second one.

Mexican, Indian. Hands down.

Though there some other traditional foods I haven't had yet (South American, African)

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.

Japanese or Mexican probably.

1: something East Asian; Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Thai. I’d be happy with any of them, I just can’t decide.

2: something Hispanic/South American, basically just Mexican food.

With any two in those categories there’s enough variety for me to spend my life eating

Peruvian and Mexican

Indian food. That picture looks delicious!

South Asian first, probably Middle Eastern second

What does soup and stew count as?

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.)

A famous Anthony Bourdain quote about Japan states: "If I had to eat only in one city for the rest of my life, Tokyo would be it. Most chefs I know would agree with me". He also famously described his first experience in Tokyo as being like "taking LSD for the first time," a transformative experience that changed his perspective on the world.

I agree, for me it would be Japanese food, it's so diverse and so refined.

Cajun, and I could stop there. Cajun food is hands down the best of the Southern US foods. Then it's a toss up between Mexican, Tex-Mex, or Greek. I might have a thing for spicy meats/fish and flat breads

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?

Indian or vietnamese because both have amazing vegan options

Middle Eastern and Indian has some of the best vegan food.

1. Mexican, what is life without salsa?
2. French, can't miss with those standards

1. Indian
2. Mexican

I try to eat mostly vegetarian at home, and Indian recipes are my go-to for that. Indian food is the best tasting vegetarian food in my opinion. I was tempted to put Chinese here because I make tofu stir fry somewhat frequently, but I go with Indian recipes more often.

Mexican for the second choice because that gives you huevos rancheros, Mexican rice and beans, and homemade corn tortilla chips with guacamole. And breakfast burritos from the place down the street from me.

Indian and Chinese are excellent options, since they’re basically a couple dozen (minimum) cuisines in a trench coat.

For me it would be Indian and Italian with mexican as an honourable mention id sorely miss.

All three are super easy to make on your own too and almost everything I make could be classed as imitations of either. Heck, I already make Christmas pizza every year instead of the usual Christmas dinner. A few years I've made Christmas enchiladas too which is why I'd miss mexican but I definitely have more curries than mexican over the course of any given year.
