    For me it's Indian food, but then... what else? Ugh... what a question.

    Bah. My mind is a whirling blank right here. I mean, freshly-prepared tiradito right off the boat is like... ffff, like tasting heaven.

    I mean, I've never had *truly* fresh, truly authentic sushi, but I imagine it would be like tiradito? (note: it's a form of ceviche, i.e. latino lime-cooked fish slices)

          Indian and German .

          My favourite main is lamb vindaloo and my favourite cake is black forest gateau. Additionally pretzels and pakoras are great snacks.

              I go with the two big Is.

              Italian - because you have never truly lived if you didn’t eat authentic Italian food. There is a reason Italians take their food serious and there is so much to explore beyond pizza and spaghetti.

              Indian UK - because sometimes you just want to shove that Chicken Tikka Masala in your face. Fun fact: The best Chicken Tikka I ever had was in fucking Perth, Scotland. Make of that what you will.

              Edit: Turns out what I call Indian food is British. So, at least one good thing came out of the Brits colonising half the world.

              Scotland takes curry very seriously. But also I'm pretty sure tikka masala was first made in Britain so technically you want British food. Sorry about that.

                Does "American" count as a cuisine? 'Cause it encompasses just about everything else, as long as I don't need it to be "authentic."

                  What if I told you that most dishes people call Indian are actually Bangladeshi via Birmingham, England.

                    Well Tikka Masala was invented in the UK, so that sounds about right.

                      Indian and Chinese are excellent options, since they’re basically a couple dozen (minimum) cuisines in a trench coat.

                        No. But I am asking how food preserved or maintained through a diaspora culture would be classified.

                          Eh, but why GREEK..?

                          (I'm assuming you're not referring to the gross slabs of reconstituted meat, roasting unhealthily on the rotisserie?)

                          There's tons of Greek vegetarian dishes. Gyros and souvlaki are not your average every day home cooked meals.

                              My local one and either Japanese or Chinese. These folks have nailed it, but I still want to eat something familiar as my staple.

                                  Indian cannot be surpassed for vegetarian, but I don’t know how you would replicate many dishes without ghee, yogurt, or cream.

                                    British - obviously includes the greats like full English/Scottish breakfast, roast dinners, fish and chips, but also includes a wide varieties of Indian/Bangladeshi curries (Balti, Jalfrezi, Madras, Chicken Tikka Masala, etc), and similarly with westernised Chinese dishes.

                                    American - mostly from the south: fried chicken, barbecue, jambalaya, gumbo, etc.

                                      Just because something is made in a place doesn't mean its part of the cuisine belonging to that place. Indian dishes do NOT count for British.
