    French food is complicated to make compared to other European countries and looks very fancy but it really isn't better than Italian, German, Spanish, or indeed British food. Don't get me wrong, I still make the odd quiche, crème brûlée, or sole meunière, but it's just to change things up when I get bored of making my usual repertoire of dishes. It's nice but more labour intensive for what it is. OP didn't say you'd be getting it from a restaurant every day. Your probably going to be making things from scratch a lot. Do you even own a blowtorch for caramelising deserts or a water bath for sous vide?

      Mexican, Indian. Hands down.

      Though there some other traditional foods I haven't had yet (South American, African)

      Just so you know. Jollof rice is either Ghanaian or Nigerian depending on the nationality of the person feeding it to you and their version is the original and best. They're quite serious about it.

        Wet food. But that's cheating.

          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)

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

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

                Indian and Mexican. As a pescatarian married to someone who can't eat soy or eggs, we're already more or less doing that. Though Italian will be missed. Fourth would be American because unfortunately that's what we are

                I'm American of Indian descent and I agree. I'm also celiac so I can't eat gluten. Indian and Mexican is so versatile. All the foods have almost every amino acid and nutrient. There are pastas we can eat! We have to make at home unfortunately but I refuse to give up Italian food!

                Also, let's get lunch.

                  Tikka masala for example.

                      Italian and Vietnamese. I’m from neither of the places, but their food is so much better than anything we’ve got.

                        Mexican food and Chinese food - that should cover me pretty good. RIP Italian food, sushi, Indian, and American french fries.

                          It is widely regarded as a British dish which British parents make for their British children in their British kitchens. When snack companies like pringles do a selection of British flavours tikka masala is included alongside marmite and roast beef. I'm sorry but there is absolutely no way you can convince me that specifically tikka masala isn't part of British cuisine. Tikka masala sauce is available in many chip shops as a topping. You might as well tell the Irish that they can't have potato bread because potatoes are from north America.

                            What exactly do you think British cuisine is out of curiosity? I know none of those countries have cake as good as black forest gateau so don't even try to claim otherwise.

                              Asian and Italian. I’ll go Japanese if you want more specific than Asian, ooh or maybe Thai. Hard one

                                Probably Thai and Indian, since they both have a strong vegetarian side.

                                  Turkish and French. Turkish because it has an extremely wide variety, French because they are the goat.

                                    Just pick Burmese, covers both. I'd probably choose that and Japanese.

                                      It’s strange that French food has high standards when they’re French.

                                        If I was to try and dabble in French food, what would you recommend I try? I've literally never had French food as far as I know and am intrigued.
