Hypothetical-- you can only choose two cuisines to eat for the rest of your life. What might they be?
-
Give me Japanese, and give me Thai.
Japanese cuisine runs far and deep, and so does Thai food.
Of course, this begs the question: what about a good burger with kewpie on it, or what happens if I put carnitas in pad thai? Where’s the delineations?
Eventually I can argue that frosted animal crackers, the pink and white ones, furthest from any kind of national or regional cuisine whatsoever, are Thai food cause they’ve been eaten by Thai people.

MAN, you were on ROLL right there, and then... you just decided to... LOL

Now I want a good burger with kewpie on it.

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)
American, and Mexican.

Huh! And what is that, if I may ask..?

Mexican and Italian. Both have very rich regional traditions with a ton of variety. Of course, Mexican food is a blend of Native American and European traditions, and Italian food (often) depends heavily on New World crops like tomatoes and corn, so these strict delineations are not real

Indian and Thai, but I'd really miss pho.
That being said, no way I don't grill some steaks and burgers and brats..

It's so curious-- so what was late-stage Western Roman food like, anyway?

My problem with picking a cuisine is what that means.
It has become a gripe amongst Italian-Americans where I live that their cuisine isn't considered to be Italian because Italy has changed in a different direction from their traditional cooking. The Italian-Americans can trace some recipes and practices to those who just got off the boat, but those practices don't reflect modern Italian cuisine.
I'd probably pick Italian as one of my cuisines, but I don't know if my practices would match the current cooking practices from the nation-state of Italy.

I can only assume they just drank gallons of garam!
In all seriousness though, we have a very dedicated restaurant near us run by a couple from the Verona area in far-northern Italy, and they use no tomatoes or corn. Pretty much every dish they make would've been possible pre-Columbus. This includes many styles of pasta, sauces based in olive oil or butter, and other things like beef, shrimp, mushrooms, pistachios, peas, and a variety of cheeses.
