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

For me it would be Indian and Italian with mexican as an honourable mention id sorely miss.
All three are super easy to make on your own too and almost everything I make could be classed as imitations of either. Heck, I already make Christmas pizza every year instead of the usual Christmas dinner. A few years I've made Christmas enchiladas too which is why I'd miss mexican but I definitely have more curries than mexican over the course of any given year.

Middle Eastern and German
Dürüm and Shawarma

A famous Anthony Bourdain quote about Japan states: "If I had to eat only in one city for the rest of my life, Tokyo would be it. Most chefs I know would agree with me". He also famously described his first experience in Tokyo as being like "taking LSD for the first time," a transformative experience that changed his perspective on the world.
I agree, for me it would be Japanese food, it's so diverse and so refined.

Middle Eastern and Indian has some of the best vegan food.
-
Vietnamese and Italian.
Pho and pizza is already my diet and I wouldn't change a thing.

Indian and German .
My favourite main is lamb vindaloo and my favourite cake is black forest gateau. Additionally pretzels and pakoras are great snacks.

India is an entire sub continent of food, its like saying "european"
It counts. It's still 1 country. It might be cheating a bit but it still counts.
-
I go with the two big Is.
Italian - because you have never truly lived if you didn’t eat authentic Italian food. There is a reason Italians take their food serious and there is so much to explore beyond pizza and spaghetti.
IndianUK - because sometimes you just want to shove that Chicken Tikka Masala in your face. Fun fact: The best Chicken Tikka I ever had was in fucking Perth, Scotland. Make of that what you will.Edit: Turns out what I call Indian food is British. So, at least one good thing came out of the Brits colonising half the world.
Scotland takes curry very seriously. But also I'm pretty sure tikka masala was first made in Britain so technically you want British food. Sorry about that.

Does "American" count as a cuisine? 'Cause it encompasses just about everything else, as long as I don't need it to be "authentic."

What if I told you that most dishes people call Indian are actually Bangladeshi via Birmingham, England.

Well Tikka Masala was invented in the UK, so that sounds about right.
-
Indian and Chinese are excellent options, since they’re basically a couple dozen (minimum) cuisines in a trench coat.
-
Did you just say that Italian American is more Italian than Italy?
No. But I am asking how food preserved or maintained through a diaspora culture would be classified.
-
Eh, but why GREEK..?
(I'm assuming you're not referring to the gross slabs of reconstituted meat, roasting unhealthily on the rotisserie?)
There's tons of Greek vegetarian dishes. Gyros and souvlaki are not your average every day home cooked meals.

Well, shit.

wrote last edited by [email protected]My local one and either Japanese or Chinese. These folks have nailed it, but I still want to eat something familiar as my staple.
