    At least you now have access to deep fried pizza and mars bars. And buckfast "tonic wine". And let's not forget the Glaswegian munchie box!

      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.

      The curries I mentioned are all British though, invented in Britain, by mostly Bangladeshi immigrants. And they're largely unknown in South Asia. You'd really struggle to find a 'Chicken Madras' in Chennai for example.

        Vindaloo is from Goa. If that were the only dish from India, I'd still pick India.

        Ah, and that would technically be Portuguese/Indian fusion.

        At least a proper one would be rather than the British Indian restaurant version.

          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)

          Cajun, and I could stop there. Cajun food is hands down the best of the Southern US foods.
          Then it's a toss up between Mexican, Tex-Mex, or Greek. I might have a thing for spicy meats/fish and flat breads

            1: something East Asian; Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Thai. I’d be happy with any of them, I just can’t decide.

            2: something Hispanic/South American, basically just Mexican food.

            With any two in those categories there’s enough variety for me to spend my life eating

                    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.

                      Indian and German .

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

                      No this is the right answer. Indian is a gimme for the question (as most people rightly answered), but German cuisine is so varied it’s not all just bratwurst and potatoes. I mean it’s mostly meat and potatoes, but there’s also wurst and bread. If that doesn’t suit you, bam you’ve got pickled meat and sauerkraut. Don’t know what to eat for dinner whammo-blammo meat, cheese, and bread. Wake up the next morning, guess what same meal just need a soft boiled egg easy peasy!

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

                                  Same and in that order. Mexican food has always been my #1 favorite followed closely by Indian food. So yum!

                                    Italian: I can still eat pasta, rice dishes, cheeses, drink bomb coffee, have I memtioned pizza? & let's not start with desserts.

                                    Thai: I can get all the spices and sweetness of SEA food.

                                      Chinese food! More specifically, Sichuan and Northwestern style food.

                                      I don't need to pick a second one.

                                        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)

                                          Sure. We went to a place called Everest Inn. The reviews were excellent (besides some cringeworthy stuff absolutely no one sane cares about) and it didn’t disappoint.
