If you had to eat only country’s cuisine forever..

[Janey879]

What would you go for?

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

Italy - love pasta !

French - all those cheeses! And Champagne

French I think. Wheat doesn't agree with me so well these days, which would put me off picking Italian (obviously it's a varied cuisine, but pizza and pasta would be a loss!).

The thing is I would like to say Greek because I think it would do me good and it’s delicious but if I’m being honest and following my heart it would be Italian food because of pesto. And pasta. And crema di pistachio. And gnocchi. And gelato. All the carbs. All the things. Mmmmmm

I think British, especially if it's EVERY meal...can't imagine Indian, Mexican or Chinese for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Greek

At the end of the day, as boring as it makes me I’d have to say English is up there.

Chips
Stew
Hot Pot
Shepherd’s pie
Rice pudding
Fish and Chips
Pies
Mash
Cornish Pasty
Sausage and Mash
All the puddings

Afghan food. It definitely needs more exposure!

Cauliflower fucking cheese. I’m done. English all the way.

Indian I think.

If my devoted personal chef would serve up a wholesome fragrant veggie dish twice a day, I’d be very happy with that.

Variations on lentil dhal, chickpeas, aubergines, mushrooms, spinach, cauliflower, Bombay potatoes, brown basmati rice, etc.

Yum yum yum.

Perhaps occasional added eggs/chicken/lamb/fish/prawns if carefully sourced. I need all the nutrients I can get.

British! Lots of variety... soups, stews, roast dinner, fish and chips, salmon with jersey royal potatoes and asparagus.. pie and mash... salads..

Italian

@WhenTheDragonsCame

Only one? 🤔

Italian

No! Indian

No! Mexican

No! Greek

This is too difficult!

Exactly. Picking an Eastern Mediterranaen country would probably be easiest because you'd have all the mixed mezze type stuff that would cover meat, salad, fish, bread, dips, prawns, squid, pulses, hummus etc that you could stretch as far as Greece and Spain with the gambas and calamari type foods, but then you'd obviously miss out on the other stuff.

I could probably get it down to a Med country and Indian but wouldn't be able to decide between the two.

Definitely Indian.

For variety it’s gotta be Italian over Indian - the dessert selection swings it for me

Mexican

Italy or Greece. I think Greek salad wins though.

The whole weird Scottish Greek fusion that i grew up with.

Germany, specifically Bavaria. Meat, bread, potatoes, beer. That’s all four of your essential food groups accounted for.

What more could you want?

Thai - as a pp said, delicate, light and fragrant. So much variety and so delicious

I’d settle for anything South East Asian though

Definitely not French or Italian though

I would say Indian.. but I'd struggle with breakfast.

I don't often opt for British cuisine if we eat out...but I do think I'd have to go for British Pescatarian. Or French. Which is sad because I bloody love fish curry. It's a very difficult question.

The cheese question is much easier. I would only eat French cheese. DH would only eat British.

Mexican. There’s not enough good Mexican in the UK. I could eat huevos rancheros every morning for breakfast, a big fat torta for lunch, and still have lots of choices for dinner. I’d probably get gigantic though.

Modern British because it's so eclectic.

Irish - who wouldn’t want to eat pigs feet forever

Greek, no doubt at all
