What would you go for?

I think I’d be Indian, so much diversity, southern Indian fish curries, northern vegetarian curries, chaat, parathas, biryianis

Nigerian. I love a variety of cuisines, but if I could never have akara, egusi, ogbono or edikaikon again, I’d be inconsolable.

@Luredbyapomegranate

Ahhh… I live in the cheese state. We do have world award winning cheese at our fingertips. It’s not hard to find good cheese in US… it’s not cheap (unless you’re local) but you do need to look outside of the prepackaged aisle.

I wold say "modern British" because it encompasses so many different cuisines within the familiar.

I'm not cheating because I am Mexican-American so "modern British" is different for me. I've eaten Mexican food all of my life so I'm always up for something different. Btw, I'm impressed that so many on here like Mexican food when it's not quite what I would call "Mexican" but "Tex-Mex". Its all good.

Crap I forgot to add Tex-Mex to my list.

I love Mexican food and Tex-Mex, so can appreciate the difference.

I love Franco-Scottish cuisine as the best way to enjoy quality Scotch produce. But Italian might offer more variety.

Jamaican or Italian

changenametopost · 13/12/2021 01:20

This is definitely a trick question
Italian cuisine of course

PrincessNutella · 13/12/2021 01:22

It wouldn't be British!

I'm not sure why in the UK we generalise and label all Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi cusines as 'Indian', but weirdly we do. So for me it will have to be Indian as it covers all three! I can't live without mooli parathas with achar, chana chaat, halwa puris, fish and veg curries, south Asian mangoes and variety of spices.

Lazy racial stereotypes thats why. Most ‘indian’ food eaten in the UK is either poor copy of bangladeshi food or food that doesn’t exist outside of the UK.

Italian

@educatingrati

Winter = UK food can't beat a bit of stodge in the winter Spring = Moroccan or Lebanese Summer = Greek Autumn = French. Topped off with How the Kiwis do flat whites!
I like the thinking here, but I would prefer to have Italian in Spring!
DifficultBloodyWoman · 13/12/2021 07:59

French or Italian. It is a very tough call!

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 13/12/2021 08:21

Chinese or Japanese

China has such an amazing variety of options. I love Japanese too. I would pick Indian especially from the south (dosa are one of my comfort foods) but I don't think I could tolerate spicy food every day.
