I like food.

Where is Sushi on this list?

I like just about everything, but I'm not a huge fan of Greek or most Mediterranean cooking. Indian is probably my favorite.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

I was in Europe this past summer, and I was blown away by how good food in the Basque part of Spain was. San Sebastian home cooked meals are amazing. Never thought I would say this, but the food is better than Italian food! Also, Sushi is good.

In no particular order:

Italian
Indian
Moroccan
Ethiopian
Chinese*
French

* Real Chinese food. Not that overly sweet crap that's taken over America. God damn it, what is wrong with you people?! CUT THE F*CKING SUGAR!

I agree, what about Canadian food? ...it's my favorite. But it has to be homemade, you know the macaronis should be just in fresh from the hunt, and the cheese right from tree. Then there's the ketchup....mmmmm, I remember watching the fat ladys in the village mashing the tomatoes with their bare feet in that be wooden trough.

American is my second favorite. The best part is no dishes to wash afterwards, just throw the wrapper away....then play with the toy in the bag. Wow, what fun....don't eat the prize! haha

Foreign food is so fun, and yummy and ....you know, ethnic and stuff.
Please keep in mind the ambiguously selective general understandings we've all agreed upon...

I like Chinese food partly for the taste and partly because they give you tons of it for little yen. Chinese are the Jewish mothers of cuisine. I wish they'd get the chicken right though...always too dry.

By the way, I'd recommend Ethiopian food for anyone who doesn't like curry, but wants to try Indian. It alawys reminds me of a non-curry version of Indian. Very tastey.

Morrocan is GODLY. There's always too much food to eat AND you get a hot chick to belly dance for ya (for a little more $$.) I have to pass on the mint tea, though, WAY too sweet. But holy cow, the food is GOOOOOD. If anyone's in the Sacramento area, you HAVE to check out Marrakech. It's the best. The atmosphere is awesome, too.

Unfortunately they've gone a little uppidy that last time I was there. They were featured on "Blind Date" show and now it's "chic." Argh. Damn you TV!!! (but I bet they're ringin' in the dough)

Hands only, though. So make sure you wash up extra well.

There's an Ethiopian restaurant near my home that's supposed to be really good. I'll have to remember to try it when I return from school.

Right next to the tacoyaki and the yakisoba.

Sadly, no one has said Natto thus far. You poor fools.

Stupid board. I was trying to make this into a poll, but the database crapped out. Here were the choices I made available:

- Thai
- Tibetan
- Greek
- Vietnamese
- Turkish
- Mediterranean
- Mongolian BBQ
- French
- Cajun
- Mexican
- Indian
- None, I just eat ice cubes
- Other
Chinese is too common but Mexican isn't? I can name way more Mexican fast-food chains than Chinese.

Mexican first, then Indian. Both are great. Pad Thai is good, but I haven't had much other Thai food.

I love the oriental and continental, from all over.

less from the very cold zones.
Mac cie wrapages?
a waste non merci
soul food, ok

sushi!
sushi chef,
would love to try your place but it is far!
what is the name of the special knife, i forgot....
in France an avant-garde sushi chef adds raspberries, passion fruit, others, giving different colours to his compositions, i wonder what the "conventionals" would think of that.

here good Japanese food is expensive, close to 100$ a person in restaurants, better in the capitals of countries with sea, where sea food& fish are fresher and cheaper.
i do sushis/sashimis myself about once a week, and find it difficult to find really fresh fish

Most of them are Tex-Mex.

But it's a moot point since people have been mentioning Chinese, Mexican, and Italian all along anyway.

Natto tastes like @$$.

And technically,all food is ethnic.

That said, Mexican is tops having grown up in NM. Thai is great as well.

In no specific order...

Japanese
Middle Eastern/Mediteranian (specifically Lebanese)
Indian
Ethiopian

I also love Tex-Mex style food, though I'm not sure just how much it counts as "ethnic."
