Good quality British food is always going to be my number one.
Followed by Italian and Thai

I love Greek (and all food, tbh) but for me, nothing comes close to good quality British food.
Roast dinner
Steak pie/mash and veg
A proper Cornish, Cornisy pasty
Fish pie
Beef stew with dumplings and beetroot

Greek. I've been on holiday a few times to Greece and the islands and even the cheapest backstreet bars and restaurants do the most delicious fresh food.

Mexican. I must say that I don’t understand the passion for Yorkshire puddings. (I’ll show myself out)

Persian and Italian, closely followed by proper Mexican (which is nothing like the tex mex most people think of as Mexican)

Lebanese and Indian.
I like food where all the tastes are melded together in the cooking and end up so the ‘whole is greater than the sum of the parts’ kind of thing. So not so keen on traditional English cooking where things are cooked separately, like a roast. However a roast potato of a cold winters day is a very fine thing.

My DH's Mauritian Auntie came over here for an extended visit a few years ago and treated us all to some amazing cooking - basically a version of South Indian food. I have had many Indian restaurant meals, but this lady's food was something else. She made the most beautiful, light fried parcels and a biryani that was absolutely gorgeous. She turned supermarket ingredients into food that was so much better than I could ever cook.

Ooh, YABU for making me think so much about food!

Anything super fresh tasting, aromatic, vibrant, heavy on veg and not stodgy, so I'd say Mediterranean in general, and Lebanese / middle Eastern. Ottolenghi type stuff.

I also LOVE Hawaiian poke and good sushi.

Vietnamese, but I'm very biased as I lived a huge part of my adult life in Vietnam and was often present at meal times at my friends houses. There is nothing that beats local Vietnamese home cooking.

Sorry - Not Thai (was thinking of something else) - Japanese tops. I like thai, but it is not in my top 5 cuisines.
