Hypothetical-- you can only choose two cuisines to eat for the rest of your life. What might they be?
-
Middle Eastern and Indian has some of the best vegan food.
Indian cannot be surpassed for vegetarian, but I don’t know how you would replicate many dishes without ghee, yogurt, or cream.
-
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)
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.

Some "Indian dishes" are British though.

Tikka masala for example.

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.
-
Well, shit.
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.

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

Peruvian and Mexican

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.
Where in Perth??? (If you'd like to share)

Indian and German .
My favourite main is lamb vindaloo and my favourite cake is black forest gateau. Additionally pretzels and pakoras are great snacks.
No this is the right answer. Indian is a gimme for the question (as most people rightly answered), but German cuisine is so varied it’s not all just bratwurst and potatoes. I mean it’s mostly meat and potatoes, but there’s also wurst and bread. If that doesn’t suit you, bam you’ve got pickled meat and sauerkraut. Don’t know what to eat for dinner whammo-blammo meat, cheese, and bread. Wake up the next morning, guess what same meal just need a soft boiled egg easy peasy!

Mexican, Indian. Hands down.
Though there some other traditional foods I haven't had yet (South American, African)

South Asian first, probably Middle Eastern second
