    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?

      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)

      Italian and Mexican. That covers about 50% of my diet already.

        Thai and Iranian. That'd cover a large spectrum of what I like.

            The raw meat and raw egg yolk is what scared him. He just watched me like it was a joke and checked the day after on my health status.

              IMO nothing beats a good French onion soup with a cheesy bread.
              And if you didn't mention the patisserie, that would mean you haven't got a sweet tooth.
              It's definitely one of the specialties.
              I'm sure my GF will try that tomorrow when she goes to expensive Paris.

              Yeah, onion soup is up there, too. Fish soup as well imo. There’s just too much good stuff 😅 good for your GF, I bet she’s in for some (expensive) treats 😁

                    If Indian qualifies as one single cuisine - then Indian. I'll have enough dishes to try out in my lifetime and that's after considering I am vegetarian.

                        Like my in-laws.... Hmmm here's a great new hummus and salad! Yeah we sprinkled chicken, pork, beef, and shrimp powder and other meat products. It doesn't change the flavor, we just like gout so much.

                        Perfectly good meal + smear some dead animal on it.

                            They're scared AF from raw eggs.
                            I know they only eat them if they're pasteurised at least.
                            Read about it once, they have different standards and practices.
                            Same for the meat, totally fine in Europe if all rules are followed.

                                I'm with you folks, on the whole. A well-prepared, complete-protein vegetarian meal rocks, especially with lots of complimentary seasoning.

                                Does gout come from consuming animal products? Hmm, I hadn't heard that, before.

                                Stuff like cabbage (and Brassica sp.) are best cooked, because otherwise they can be goitrogenic, interfering with the thyroid gland's function over time. There's also the (admittedly slim) chance that some animal has passingly added something undesirable to a veggie, be it parasite or disease-causing.

                                Which is why it's important to do either a mild chlorine wash of any veggies you eat, or at least blanch them. (not trying to lecture anyone here; all that's just my personal understanding)

                                  From personal experience getting stranded in s foreign country as a kid with my dad unable to walk or move due to uric acid and gout, your worst offenders are red meat, pork and shrimp. Shrimp surprisingly being the worse one. But carry a long needle syringe to get your knees back on the road sooner! LOL.

                                  My opinion is that a little meat is OK. I don't eat meat but I can see where others need it like a drug.

                                    Sorry, I don't mean to nitpick, but neither of those things are exclusively Levantine nor Belgian in culinary specialty.

                                    Please do correct where I'm wrong, though.

                                      I'm not exactly specifying that they're originally from these regions, but just the fact that they're most well known for being associated with these regions. They're the first place that comes to my mind when I hear these dishes.

                                      Couscous isn't exclusively Moroccan either, but when I hear couscous, the first place that comes to mind is Morocco.
