What would you go for?

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

I’m another one for British, cos that can incorporate English and Scottish , can’t go wrong with that, but I would miss Italian, Indian and Mexican.

Christmas1988 · 11/12/2021 20:51

Greek!

JayAlfredPrufrock · 11/12/2021 20:51

British.

Hearty stews in winter

Salads and lovely cheese in summer.

Jconnais1chansonquivavsenerver · 11/12/2021 20:52

French. More than 400 cheeses to choose from. What's not to like?

NeverDropYourMooncup · 11/12/2021 20:52

Japanese, without a doubt. After that, as long as I could access gluten free subs or Barley and wheat suddenly became possible to eat again, it would probably be Scandinavian/Swedish/Norwegian.

GrannytoaUnicorn · 11/12/2021 20:53

As much as I LOVE Mexican food 🌮
& Japanese Ramen 🍜 it would have to be Italy. 🍝 I crave marinara sauce & pasta. I'm desperate to visit Italy 🇮🇹

gofg · 11/12/2021 20:54

Italy or Mexico

LuluBlakey1 · 11/12/2021 20:55

English or Italian or Lebanese but only vegetarian dishes.

Novasmummy · 11/12/2021 20:55

Normally I would say Mexican, but in deep dark winter I think traditional Scottish food is better. Haggis, Neeps, Macaroni pie, porridge made with milk, Smoked salmon, lorne sausage, raspberries, whiskey, Cranachan, and hot toddy's. Wouldn't even say no to a battered Mars bar.

Xtraincome · 11/12/2021 20:56

Italian food no question. Diverse, fresh, can pair great with wine.

Changechangychange · 11/12/2021 20:56

I’d probably go with Italian just because I eat it so much already. It isn’t my favourite food, but I know I can eat it every day, come summer and winter, and not get sick of it.

I love Thai food, Japanese food, Indian food, but I’m not sure I could manage it seven days a week for the rest of my life. Chinese food might be a good option actually - so much variation between Uighur, Beijing, Hong Kong and Sichuan, you wouldn’t feel like you were stuck with just one thing.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 11/12/2021 20:57

France. Butter and cream and you don’t get fat! 😏 Or Mexico.

BreatheAndFocus · 11/12/2021 20:58

I can’t choose! Can I choose 5? 😀 I was going to say Italian but then I saw someone had said Thai and thought Yum! So fresh, so delicious. But then sushi…. And Chinese.

Arrgghhhh! I’m going to go with Thai, I think, with Italian as a close second 😊

grooveonthemove · 11/12/2021 20:59

Definitely Indian, I never get bored of the range of spices and flavours.

Cypriot food a close second - perfect combination of Greek and Middle Eastern 😋

RobotValkyrie · 11/12/2021 21:00

Japan

Wooky8 · 11/12/2021 21:02

Indian!!

Northernsoullover · 11/12/2021 21:05

Spanish for me! It's so varied. I could live on tapas but I also love the stews, fish, bread with everything! Absolutely love it.

RoyTroyAndChris · 11/12/2021 21:08

British because better for seasonal ingredients etc.
Wouldn't miss Indian food because some curries (eg tikka masala rather than the swede and raisins kind) were a British invention and therefore Allowed.
According to the Metro, we can also claim lasagne, Hula Hoops, sandwiches and Jaffa cakes, so would be pretty happy with that.

Shmithecat2 · 11/12/2021 21:08

Vietnamese

Novasmummy · 11/12/2021 21:09

Ooh even better if I get to pick the British food umbrella and get all the other wonderful British foods as well as all those great Scottish ones. Life is much better with Yorkshire puddings in, and would hardly be worth living without cheddar cheese

CherryAndAlmond · 11/12/2021 21:10

Wherever chocolate comes from!

OzziePopPop · 11/12/2021 21:11

Italian but I’d miss Indian and Mexican like crazy!!

Riverlee · 11/12/2021 21:13

Italian - pasta, pizza, ice cream!

BillyAndTheSillies · 11/12/2021 21:15

Japanese or Vietnamese. So fresh, so tasty.
