Hypothetical-- you can only choose two cuisines to eat for the rest of your life. What might they be?
-
Japanese
IndianThis is the correct answer
-
mexican and mexican

For my mouth and dopamine, Italian.
For my health, Greek.Eh, but why GREEK..?
(I'm assuming you're not referring to the gross slabs of reconstituted meat, roasting unhealthily on the rotisserie?)

Italian food (often) depends heavily on New World crops like tomatoes and corn
It's so curious-- so what was late-stage Western Roman food like, anyway?
Max Miller is a dang-ol' genius at this stuff, but he always has to make a huge production about it, y'know..?
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.

- Mexican, what is life without salsa?
- French, can't miss with those standards
It’s strange that French food has high standards when they’re French.

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
- Mexican
I try to eat mostly vegetarian at home, and Indian recipes are my go-to for that. Indian food is the best tasting vegetarian food in my opinion. I was tempted to put Chinese here because I make tofu stir fry somewhat frequently, but I go with Indian recipes more often.
Mexican for the second choice because that gives you huevos rancheros, Mexican rice and beans, and homemade corn tortilla chips with guacamole. And breakfast burritos from the place down the street from me.

If I didn't have dietary restrictions the Vietnamese and Puerto Rican (with Mexican essentially tied).

Same two for me probably

Um... you mean the Carnivore's Cone of Delight, endlessly rotating in front of you like a car in a showroom?

Mexican and Chinese.
But like the american type chinese takeout with a seventeen page menu of sushi and bubble teas I will never once get. And the mexican restaurants that also serve americanized tacos, so you know everything else has extra cheese and sauce.

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.
Did you just say that Italian American is more Italian than Italy?

So we've narrowed it down to two continents, then?

Mexican, because life is just better with spices.
American, given that American "culture" is really just cultural appropriation with added sugar and calories, I'll get to try something close to every other cuisine. -

I will never be hungry!
My alternate answer was;
- Uncooked food
- Cooked food

Indian and Chinese are excellent options, since they’re basically a couple dozen (minimum) cuisines in a trench coat.
