I miss my foods from my homeland Australia.. Sausage and Chicko rolls, golden gaytime ice cream, meat pie 'n' chips or Fish 'n' chips while going through a loaf of bread. Barbecue shapes, Lamingtons, Tim Tam's, Vegemite on toast, slurps.0

Italian, Greek, French, Chinese, Jamaican, Indian0
-
Vietnamese, Thai, Korean and West indian cooking. Lots of bold flavours and textures0
-
Mexican is in first place. I don't do Chinese but am game for anything else.0

Honestly, I love everything LOL. I love making dishes from around the world too. Especially Japanese since i spent about a month over there for fun.
I also love bulgogi (Korean BBQ), my neighbors used to make it for me on my birthdays when I was 10-12. Got me hooked!
I guess I'd have to say my favorite are
Chile Rellenos - Mexican
Bulgogi - Korean
Okonomiyaki and Shabu Shabu - Japanese
Galaktoboureko and Kourabiethes because i love Greek sweets
Chicken Biryani - Mauritian
Keke 'isite - Tongan
Lots others but those are my main squeezes lately0 -
Asian food is all my top 5
1. Indian - this is the only asian cuisine that I have found consistently good desserts...mmm gulab jamun
2. Thai - how do they use so many noodles and basil and taste nothing like italian?
3. Japanese - 1 word. sushi
4. Korean - Dol Sat Bi Bim Bap - the world's greatest comfort food
5. Vietnamese - Pho and bahn mi.0 -

I like Bulgogi too.
I also love Filipino Lumpia.0 -
Sushi. Yummmmmm. Specifically spicy tuna sashimi, california rolls, gomae, sunomono.
Indian and Vietnamese too. Pho in the winter when it's dreary outside (although I will never get Russel Peters' voice out of my head when I eat Pho LOL)0 -
I'm vegetarian so there are some cultures that just work better for me (ie Indian food).
My favourites though are:
Arabic / Middle Eastern - Lebenese food is delicious, all those cold and hot starters and vibrant flavours!
Thai - I love the fresher tasting dishes, again with lots of vibrancy. Som Tam salad has to be one of my favourite foods of all time.0 -
Mexican food for sure. Especially Tex-Mex (there's a difference).
Thai food - I could eat red curry and jasmine rice every day.
Greek - gyros are awesome. Lamb is a very underrated meat in the US.
Southern BBQ - this could probably devolve into its own conversation, but I love some good pulled pork!0 -
I love all kinds of food...Vietnamese, Native American (especially Southwest & North East), German, Indian, Mexican...I tell people all the time I will eat anything that doesn't eat me first...
My comfort food is probably Mexican, though, as it's the food I grew up with. Nothing like my grandmother's menudo or pozole, her handground hot chocolate for cheering up a really bad day!0 -
I'll list my favorite ethic foods in order, not necessarily cuisines. And the order is rough-for so many I can't really decide which I love more!
1) Vietnamese Pho Soup
2) Argentinean empanadas
3) Chinese sea bass clay pot
4) Thai red curry with pineapple
5) Chinese ginger sesame sea bass
6) Ecuadorean Humitas
7) Japanese Tuna Tataki
8) Indian korma curry
9) Does butter chicken count as Indian? I thought it was Indian-inspired, but not authentic. Anyway, love it.
10) Mexican chiles rellenos
11) El Salvadorean Pupusas
12) Greek Spanakopita
13) Japanese Vegetable Tempura0 -

HELL YES to the Lamingtons and the BBQ Shapes. Also, Pizza shapes.
You can keep you Chicko rolls though hahah...I worked in an outback roadhouse for 6 months and holy hell - those things taste like fried fart. Smell nice though.0 -
