Good quality British food is always going to be my number one.

Middle eastern food is some of the best in the world because its a cross roads
all traded food between Europe and the rest of the world has met there and the best bits combined.

Vietnamese is amazing too - because its Oriental mixed with french

STARVING NOW

[ViserionTheDragon]

Lebanese for sure

[jaseyraex]

Has to be Mexican for me. I make my fair share of Mexican dishes at home and we eat out at Mexican restaurants every now and again. Once you've had the proper food from that country though, I find the British take just doesn't quite cut it! I acquired so many recipes when we went on holiday there though, the people were so lovely.

[DunnoWhy]

Turkish for us is number one.

The meat dishes are seriously good. Vegetarian dishes delicious.
Veg-meat casseroles to die for.
My very fussy eater dd eats all her vegetables there, she becomes adventurous.
Seriously even a simple toast made in a small simple kiosk, is a full blown feast, with simple ingredients we couldn't think of putting together that go so well together. For that reason, on holiday in Turkey, we picked up some menus from some places we loved eating at and brought back home to replicate here. I'm trying to make them occasionally.

I love fast and simple cooking. I hate spending hours for kitchen work, i resent time spent in the kitchen, doing unnecessarily complicated dishes that take several stages blah blah blah. I learnt some simple Turkish dishes which I further adapted to my home routine, simplified further. Happy.

We love some Chinese too, but not too broadly.

[StripySocksAndDocs]

Japanese if I had to chose.

[OutsideContextProblem]

I agree that New Malden has the best Korean food, but there’s a little bunch of Korean places round Tottenham Court Road and a few Korean takeaway chains throughout central London.

[OutsideContextProblem]

I’d go for the ones I can’t get every day, so Korean and Eritrean. Both really punch my flavour senses.

[JayDot500]

I'm from the Caribbean so that's my #1

But OMG Italian food. For me, it isn't so much the dishes, it's the ingredients 😍. You can buy simple things Italy and the individual ingredients show you what they were born to do.

Also love Asian food (everything from Malaysia to India to China to Thailand). Anything cooked in a banana leaf is going to make me fall in love with it.

[CigarsofthePharoahs]

Given that I've yet to find a cuisine I don't actually like...
I'd say proper British food and Thai.
I do love proper Indian food too. I have a Pat Chapman recipe book and it has the western restaurant favourites and the traditional dishes they've been based on. There are some amazing dishes in there, not to mention the proper recipe for onion bhajis that are a million times better than the standard soggy takeaway offerings.
Could I choose between a full roast chicken and all the trimmings followed by bakewell tart and a freshly made Thai green curry?
Eeep. Can't.

[Adamsmom]

Middle Eastern specifically Saudi and Yemeni rice
East African love the rice, sweet pancakes and flat breads
Vietnamese

[Unevenbeard]

Greek

[poppym12]

Italian & Mexican

[fantasmasgoria1]

I like Italian, Chinese, some Turkish and British food. Not a fan of Indian because the food is too spicy for me.

[jaxhwc]

Mexican!

[NaughtToThreeSadOnions]

Colconnon and soda bread so irish

[HappyLollipop]

Caribbean, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Mexican, Greek, Lebanese. I do like British food (especially a good roast with all the trimmings!) every now and again but I do find it rather bland compared to my favourite foods.

[louderthan]

Japanese
Vietnamese
Greek
Lebanese

[BobbyGentry]

@ThenCameTheFools agree about British Cheese; county by county, Cheshire and Lancashire are my all time favourites.

[Baubletrouble43]

Italian
Cheap to buy easy to cook delicious to eat

[Buglife]

Greek/Turkish/Lebanese... all similar but getting progressively spicier :) nothing better than grilled lamb in spices/herbs, lots of picky meze bits, yoghurty sauces and yummy salads with salty cheeses. Just heaven. I spent a week in greece two weeks ago just munching on amazing little cheese and courgette fritters and octopus as well, so amazing.

[MadisonAvenue]

British
American

[ThenCameTheFools]

Italian for fish
Spanish for vegetables and of course, a good real paella/tortilla
A British roast or fish and chips done in dripping (British meat is IMO second to none, and my Italian husband concurs- Italian meat where we are is not good- it's either been slaughtered at about 6 weeks of age so completely tasteless, not to speak of the ethics) or is full of lumps of fat. Every time Saint Jamie raves about Italian sausages I want to boak. They are foul. Unless you like lumps of fat in your banger.
Cheese- anywhere really, but I think Britain probably has the edge.
Greece- salads and grills.

The only one I have tried in its authentic setting and not been bowled over is Thai.

My international top 10 would be

1. A Spanish omelette made by a Spanish granny. With Spanish olive oil (I much prefer it to Italian, I could never tell dp or his family as they have olive groves, but Spanish is a million times nicer!)
   
2. A seafood paella made by the same Spanish granny
   
3. A Sunday roast made by my Mum
   
4. Fish and chips from Whitby.
   
5. A Chinese from a restaurant I went to in New York in 1980. One of those meals you never forget.
   
6. A British cheese platter.
   
7. A Greek salad followed by grilled lamb with lemon eaten outside followed by watermelon.
   
8. A Beef wellington made with British fillet
   
9. Spaghetti with mussels made by me in about half an hour.
   

10. Octopus with potatoes made by the woman who runs the restaurant round the corner.

[Anewme2018]
