To ask what your most/least favourite cuisine is and why?

Least favourite is probably Italian, mainly because I am lactose and gluten intolerant so unable to eat pasta, cheese, pizza and bread. I am sure someone will come along and name dishes that are gluten and lactose closely followed by Mexican .

I've never met a cuisine I didn't like!

Am not a fan of Italian,too many carbs and generally quite heavy. Love Indian,Chinese and Greek .

Love mexican, greek, Indian.
Hate Japanese and Chinese. Can't stand sushi and don't think I've ever had a good Chinese, they always seem disappointing.

Probably English! I do love a roast but everything is so boring!

I've never met any Indian food I didn't enjoy, but I hate Japanese food - cold rice, raw fish, that nasty weird vinegary miso-y taste that it has. Maybe I've just been unlucky whenever I've been served it? Also US Chinese food is much nicer than British Chinese food.

I love Lebanese and other Middle Eastern cuisines, love Japanese, Indian, good modern British and Mediterranean.

I'm nearly always disappointed by Mexican food but that's probably because I haven't been to a great restaurant. It all tastes the same to me. Went to a place in NYC which everyone else at the table raved about. It made the best cocktails I've ever had but the food was really bland in taste and texture.

Indian.

I pretty much love everything! Least favourite probably Chinese, favourites...I really can't choose. It depends what mood I'm in.

Never really tried it, but Icelandic and Nordic foods do not look that appealing to me.

I've heard Dutch food is even worse than British and is really bland.

Italian is overrated.

Prefer middle eastern/greek/Turkish.

Buying MSG from a Chinese food store makes home cooked Chinese food taste much more better.

Wheat, Barley, Rye, Oats and Spelt - plot twist, I’m coeliac 🤗🌾

Favourite - Greek. I love the lamb and chicken with simple salads, bread and yoghurt

Least favourite - Mexican. I like spicy food but this is just a kind of spiciness that I don't enjoy

You’re right! Few get both right.

In defence of British food I’d say there is some great stuff out there but you won’t find it in restaurants.

My family had some delicious favourites and if you go to a posh place like Simpson or Rules, you’ll find these but your average pub or most restaurants don’t bother.

There are some fab traditional British puddings but what’s on the men in most places? Chocolate things, cheesecake, brownie and ice cream, tiramisu etc. Nothing wrong with these - they’re lovely- but I’m making the point that traditional British cuisine is rarely served in restaurants.

Does frozen beige food count? I really don’t like that.

I quite enjoy everything else, especially Japanese and Vietnamese food. So tasty.

I too struggle to pick a favourite as I like all different kinds of food, if done well. The best food I've ever had was probably at a Chinese restaurant in Manchester. But, I'd rather have a bad Indian than a bad Chinese. Overall, I'd say my favourite is Italian even though I'm not keen on pizzas.

I like most cuisines but not hearty East European , actually Austrian and German as well as I am not keen on big lumps of meat - particularly if they have been boiled, nor dumplings or apple sauce. Oh and I don’t really like pickles either or too fishy raw fish.

Favourite is possibly Italian or Chinese, I like most spicy flavoursome foods.

Your post is like asking what someone's favourite music is.

sometimes I want to listen to Miles Davis, sometimes to Neil young, sometimes to the beloved Leonard sometimes to Amy Winehouse.

If I listened to more contemporary music, I guess I'd give you a very different list.

What I want to eat depends on my mood. Just as what I want to listen to does.

I haven't eaten all types of Chinese cuisine, for example. After all, it's a pretty large country. But I'm not that keen on my local chinese takeaways cuisine, that doesn't mean I don't like Chinese food. It means I don't like my local takeaways version of it.

Most favourite is Italian.
least favourite anything with spices/cumin/cinammon/ginger/coconut. Anything greasy or even mildly spicy will make me vomit, sometimes from the smell.
I much prefer plainer, less spiced dishes, salt is fine, not too much pepper please!!

I'll eat anything.
My favourite is probably mexican or lebanese.
Least favourite if I really have to choose, probably thai. But I'll eat it anyway, it just wouldn't be among my first 20 options.

Thai and Vietnamese are my favourite- the freshness! I love ginger, garlic, coriander, Thai basil, lime and lemongrass. Kaffir lime leaves are my favourite smell in the whole world.

There aren’t really any cuisines I hate but I don’t rate Chinese food- or at least the way it’s done in the UK- I daresay Chinese food in China is a completely different thing. But British Chinese is all the same colour and most of the sauces are gloopy. Just not a fan.

Yeah. It’s not the most inspiring OP. But she doesn’t mind the occasional korma, so there’s that.

Absolutely love greek food
Food hell would be anything like tripe /odd fish with heads etc.

Here's a thought:

Cuisines that are a bit of a let down in the main course department seem to make it up with the desserts and sweets. Like Germany, Austria, Belgium.

Culinary traditions that get it right for the savouries tend to let themselves down when it comes to the pudding.

Is there anywhere that really zings in both?
