    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.

          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.

            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)

            My local one and either Japanese or Chinese. These folks have nailed it, but I still want to eat something familiar as my staple.

                Indian cannot be surpassed for vegetarian, but I don’t know how you would replicate many dishes without ghee, yogurt, or cream.

                  British - obviously includes the greats like full English/Scottish breakfast, roast dinners, fish and chips, but also includes a wide varieties of Indian/Bangladeshi curries (Balti, Jalfrezi, Madras, Chicken Tikka Masala, etc), and similarly with westernised Chinese dishes.

                  American - mostly from the south: fried chicken, barbecue, jambalaya, gumbo, etc.

                    Just because something is made in a place doesn't mean its part of the cuisine belonging to that place. Indian dishes do NOT count for British.

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

                          Vindaloo is from Goa. If that were the only dish from India, I'd still pick India.

                            At least you now have access to deep fried pizza and mars bars. And buckfast "tonic wine". And let's not forget the Glaswegian munchie box!

                              The curries I mentioned are all British though, invented in Britain, by mostly Bangladeshi immigrants. And they're largely unknown in South Asia. You'd really struggle to find a 'Chicken Madras' in Chennai for example.

                                Ah, and that would technically be Portuguese/Indian fusion.

                                At least a proper one would be rather than the British Indian restaurant version.

                                  Cajun, and I could stop there. Cajun food is hands down the best of the Southern US foods.
                                  Then it's a toss up between Mexican, Tex-Mex, or Greek. I might have a thing for spicy meats/fish and flat breads

                                    1: something East Asian; Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Thai. I’d be happy with any of them, I just can’t decide.

                                    2: something Hispanic/South American, basically just Mexican food.

                                    With any two in those categories there’s enough variety for me to spend my life eating
