Hypothetical-- you can only choose two cuisines to eat for the rest of your life. What might they be?

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.
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. -
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 italian

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.
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.
Take the meat parts out and I'll eat almost anything.
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.

Levantine and Belgian
Nothing beats a nice juicy shawarma with a waffle for desert. Ok maybe a Jet2 holiday beats it, idk.
Levantine and Belgian
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.

Ah, okay!
Me, I was only a toddler when I lived a year in Belge, and have no idea what good food would be like from either the French or Flemish areas. :S

Opposite actually - fructose intake, alcohol intake (same pathway as fructose in liver), advanced glycation end products (glucose intake) are the major drivers of gout.
https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-821617-0.00004-8 Section 7.3 if you would like to know more (overwhelmingly so) - it's available on the normal 🦜 sites.
Basically the old connection that meat can drive uric acid a bit and uric acid is a component of gout isn't actually helpful, during a active flare up avoiding meat can help reduce uric acid levels a tiny bit but it does nothing to address the systemic cause of the gout in the first place. i.e. Watermelons have a high water content but are not causal in drownings, but avoid eating watermelons while actively drowning.... same thing

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.
I will add a couple of my favorite dishes to what @[email protected] said. Boeuf Bourguignon, and Tartiflette. Also +1 for boxed French wine.

American / Canadian and arabic. Great Shwarma can be so flavorful and delicious. I also can't do without a great burger every once in a long while.

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.
Fish and chips, meat pie and little more. I don't think it can compete with the mediterránea cuisine

Ok so british fast food is definitely very heavy on meat pies and chips (although I should point out that there's a lot of crossover with south Asian fast food and there are other fast food standards like baked potatoes and various sandwiches). And where the confusion lies is that Brits only really eat British fast food or foreign restaurant food because why would you go to a restaurant to eat the same food you make at home? But there's a whole load of really nice food that just never gets sold in the restaurants. It's definitely British cuisine. British Christmas food is heavily spiced full of dried fruit and marinated in rum or brandy (rum is better), There are few deserts that can measure up to a well made apple crumble or sticky toffee pudding, and haggis is such a satisfying dish that it's inspired poetry.
Fair fa’ your honest, sonsie face,
Great Chieftain o’ the Puddin-race!
Aboon them a’ ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy of a grace
As lang ‘s my arm.The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hurdies like a distant hill,
Your pin wad help to mend a mill
In time o’ need,
While thro’ your pores the dews distil
Like amber bead.His knife see Rustic-labour dight,
An’ cut ye up wi’ ready slight,
Trenching your gushing entrails bright,
Like onie ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm-reekin, rich!Then, horn for horn, they stretch an’ strive:
Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive,
Till a’ their weel-swall’d kytes belyve
Are bent like drums;
Then auld Guidman, maist like to rive,
Bethankit hums.Is there that owre his French ragout,
Or olio that wad staw a sow,
Or fricassee wad mak her spew
Wi’ perfect sconner,
Looks down wi’ sneering, scornfu’ view
On sic a dinner?Poor devil! see him owre his trash,
As feckless as a wither’d rash,
His spindle shank a guid whip-lash,
His nieve a nit;
Thro’ bluidy flood or field to dash,
O how unfit!But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread,
Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
He’ll make it whissle;
An’ legs, an’ arms, an’ heads will sned,
Like taps o’ thrissle.Ye Pow’rs wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o’ fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
That jaups in luggies;
But, if ye wish her gratefu’ prayer,
Gie her a Haggis!
