>cum in beef final
ahahahhahahahahahahahah

>>14301518
Do the Chinese really cum in beef?

Not really a cuisine but American/British Isles pub food/comfort food
A nice hearty Shepherd's Pie or Guinness Beef Stew is amazing

>>14301518
>and why?
>For me, it's Chinese
Can you not answer your own question?

>>14301539
The flavor profiles are just very interesting and satisfying to me.
Much different from what I'm used to.
They eat way too much offals though, I'm not into that

>>14301532
There's a lot to be said for an American fried breakfast or a British fryup. Greasy, salty, fatty, with loads of carbs and protein: it's like it's engineered to trigger every comfort sensor in your brain. It's the epitome of "so good it has to be bad for you".

>>14301564
I love poached eggs with toast and home fries

Mexican is god tier but I wish it had more vegetables

>>14301518
I really like Hawaiian. There's lots of Japanese influence with their local dishes but they also have a big focus on pork cooked in methods similar to American barbeque. I also fucking love macademia nuts and Spam.

>>14301541
What I remember as chinese food growing up as a young kid in Hong Kong

>turtle/shark fin soup
>fried chicken feet
>pig uterus noodles
>fried rice with pork knuckle gristle
>unidentifed fish balls on a stick
>boiled dog meat
>one time, monkey brains

Americans have no idea how bad it really is. No one in china knows what the fuck beef and broccoli is or sweet and sour pork. Chinese food is disgusting. Literally the worst parts to eat of any animal. Makes sense because chinks are the race of humans closest to animals. They make disgusting noises when they eat, slurp everything, men in the streets lift their fucking wife beaters over their sweaty stomachs while laughing and chewing with their mouths full of food. Like what kind of idiot decided 2 sticks is the most practical way to eat grains of fucking rice. Starving Nigerians who eat grass have a better diet than the average chinese.

>>14301518
Discovered Indian food last year, my erections have been stronger since then.

>>14301678
Don't forget the gutter oil

Thai food or American Chinese. Eastern Euro in general is really good too. Thai still comes out on top though. I could eat Tom Kha Gai for breakfast lunch and dinner for months.

>>14301678
Sounds fine, what's wrong with being resourceful with food? It's a fucking joke that Americans eat meat at the rate they do and don't even use all the good parts of the animals.

>>14301712
>organ meat
>good parts
I do not advocate for waste but the organ meat is better off being used for pet food

>>14301767
A lot of organ meat is really valuable for its high nutrient content and a ton of practical uses in cooking. If you think things like liver shouldn't be eaten you need to learn more.

>>14301518
Italian cause I'm italian and I'm used to it.
Second favourite would be japanese. I like simple flavours and quality ingredients and I'm not big on spices that cover everything up.

>>14301697
Whatever herbs are in Jagermeister make me really horny lmao.

>>14301710
Thai is amazing, I was surprised to see they have a high obesity rate on par with the West.

French. Endless variety and the best sauces.

I like rice, so anything with rice gets my approval. A lot of asian shit, but there's some french affairs I've flirted with in the past.

>>14301518
Fuck them. We need to nuke those subhumans. Fucking kung flu.

AHHHHHH THE FRENCH

>>14303136
I love Coq au Vin

Probably Tex-mex, get the best of both worlds. Big steaks and classic americana and delicious breakfast tacos, guac, frijoles refritos, salsas suaces, dope barbecue. Jarritos are a delight.

>>14303345
Based reference

>>14301697
Have you given dal makhni a try yet? A lot of people overlook it in favor of more famous dishes, like chicken tikka or lamb vindaloo, but it's real goddamn good

For me, it is Mexican.
Countries wish they could capture the flavor and imagination their dishes bring

>>14301532
the closeset ive had to proper brit english was in korea of all places. friends heard about a legit pub/diner in gawngju ran by a brit who shipped a bunch of shit over from his homeland. went in with those friends with a massive hangover and well ordered a big fryup. the bartender/host/server owner whoever he was was shaking and asked if anyone of us wanted to do a shot with him as hair of the dog. i wanted to puke but took three shots of some scotch and when the plate came i wiped it clean.

>>14301518
Is that dog cat or bat

>>14303531
This. Without being overly rich like say, certain Indian foods

>>14301518
American

Mexican or Thai.

Indonesian. Beef rendang is the best.

I don't understand "italian/japanese/thai food". we're all humans, we all have access to all these foods.
we should stop naming food as their region, this makes the food look sobland and without life. it's food. it is from us to us.

>>14304540
yeah, why use title and names to reference things? let's just list all the individual components of everything food we enjoy

>>14304540
Please say sike

American

>>14301518
Mediterranean cuisine is top tier.

You'd have the italians, spanish, sothern french, greek, turkish, etc. You just can't compete against this variety and healthiness.
Also, their dishes are tasty as fuck.

>>14303465
I bet you do love coq, faggot

>>14307201
absolutely an unequivocally based.

>>14302020
>loves italian food
>I'm not big on spices
are you really italian anon ?

>>14303136
>fries and steak is french cuisine
lmfao the absolute state of /ck/

>>14307201
ABSOLUTAMENTE BASADO, med food is godly, bonus point if you're eating in a med country.
Something as simple as freshly made cheese with local olive oil on a toast with some thyme and garlic can make you coom instantly.
I want to go back to greece/morocco/spain now.

>>14307201
Came to post this. Superior in any way shape or form.

>>14301532

>>14307453
How is it not? Sure, grilled steak is universal. Being universal does not mean it's not part of french cuisine. And sure, it's disputed whether french fries are to be credited to the french or the belgian, but again this does not mean it's not part of french cuisine.

What you seem to have missed in the picture though, is the sauce béarnaise, a classical french sauce.

Steak, fries and sauce béarnaise is without doubt french cuisine and you just made a fool out of yourself.

>>14307599
You could have posted the sauce by itself then.
Following your logic, if I posted the same picture with a bowl of sriracha sauce it'd be Vietnamese cuisine.
Also, fries are Belgian, there's no debate.
Ces français qui nous volent nos frites...allez à la merte.

>>14307729
Have no idea about how common steak, fries and sriracha is in Vietnamese cuisine, but I doubt it's nearly as common as steak, fries and béarnaise are in French cuisine. But sure, if that's a common dish in Vietnamese cuisine, then sure it's Vietnamese cuisine.

By your logic moules-frites is not belgian cuisine because blue mussels are common many places.

Lastly I'm sorry you have a inferiority complex from being Belgian. It's understandable. If you had more things to be proud of, then maybe it wouldn't be such a deal to you who really invented french fries.

>>14307797
>inferiority complex for stating facts
Typical frenchman.
You guys can't have a conversation without trying to belittle someone/something.
Moules-frites is Belgian because we were literally the first ones to eat both together, in addition to inventing fries.
But if eating a piece of steak with Belgian fries and modified Hollandaise sauce is French cuisine then be my guest.

>>14307941
>You guys can't have a conversation without trying to belittle someone/something.
This is just you projecting your own inferiority.

>Moules-frites is Belgian because we were literally the first ones to eat both together, in addition to inventing fries.
It's disputed who invented fries. But by your logic, steak, fries and béarnaise is a French dish because French were first to eat that together and for sure invented béarnaise.

Mexican, Japanese. Brazil has kickass barbecue, highly recommend.
I absolutely despise Italian cuisine and ANYTHING drenched in fucking tomato sauce, meaning that I don’t like stuff like red pasta and pizza is neutral to me, at best. Aside from that, I think I can appreciate a little bit of everything as long its not exotic.

>>14308146
Cope harder, retard.

French and it's not particularly close, to be honest.

American. I eat KFC, McDonald's or Quizno's everyday.

>>14310696

Yikes.

>>14301710
tom ka gai for life

>>14309832
Seeth more, cringecel.

>>14307446
Italian food doesn't use a lot of spices, it uses garlic and herbs

Southern US, regional French and Korean
Bcuz dey tastee

>>14311052
How much does French food vary by region?

Indian

>>14303560
all of above, dummy

>>14310842
Thousand cocks in the mouths of your ancestors!!

My own.
I fit in no major, nor minor, stereotype, category.

>>14305404
>sike

>>14311530
Quite a lot.
It would be too long to list everything

Bumping to trigger the anti chink autist.

My favourite chinese food is chicken with bamboo, chinese shrooms and soy sauce, fucking de li ci ous

>>14312466
Isn't it all just butter and some combination of the 5 herbs they use?

>>14312754
Basically.
French cuisine is a meme, they're trying hard to emulate mediterranean recipes.
French people are nothing more than nordic europeans trying to sound, look and eat like meds (except for Marseille, Corsica and some small towns close to the mediterranean sea).

indian food. beyond the popular college kid meme dishes like butter chicken and tikka masala, there's an amazing spread of dishes. shahi paneer, dal makhani, chana masala, aloo tikki chaat, i love it all. the warmth of the spices and how there's such an incredible layering of flavors, the contrast between heat and cream/yogurt, the social aspect of the meal. top notch cuisine so long as they can poo in loo.

Swedish, because I am from Sweden.

>>14313195
Shit, I still love a good tikka masala

Have any European cuisines embraced spices?

>>14313126
>I don't even understand what a meme is yet believe my retarded opinions is worth shit.

>>14313779
here, a definition of the word meme for you since you seem to be a dense idiot.

>meme /miːm/ noun
an element of a culture or system of behaviour passed from one individual to another by imitation or other non-genetic means.

>>14314290
>t. a dense idiot seems to think his retarded opinion is worth shit

Chinese no doubt

Italian

I enjoy chinese, japanese and thai too, peruvian is underrated. However, no dish of them has surpassed a top tier lasagna bolognesa

>>14314290
So all cuisines are memes, pointing it out makes nothing for your case.

You sound really dumb when you first agree to another anon asking: "Isn't it all just butter and some combination of the 5 herbs they use?" then write "they're trying hard to emulate Mediterranean recipes."

It's contradictory to claim it's all butter and that they are trying hard to emulate Mediterranean. How could it all be butter if that's true, when butter isn't used much in Med cuisine?

France are part Mediterranean were olive oil is the big cooking fat, and part northern Europe that uses more butter and milk products. France being part southern and part northern Europe with big diversity in the regional cuisines is part of the explanation why French cuisine without doubt is the most advanced, diverse cuisine in the whole western world, and on a global basis, only China can compete.

>>14301678
>as a young kid in Hong Kong
>they
What would a non-asian do in Honk Kong as a kid?

>>14301532
>It doesn't count as a cuisine if Its Anglo

>>14313126
>a central country that has borders in both Northern and Southern Europe and was the dominant cultural power on the continent for like 1000 years has parts of its culture that are a mix of both Nordic and Med

Colour me shocked

French culture and language dominated elite European sensibilities for hundreds of years. Everything you associate with fancy European is just French. If you can recognise something as European but are unable to place it to a country, and It's not total peasant food, It's French. If you can't place it but It's more like peasant food, It's probably English. Those are good rules of thumb.

>>14316510
I was implying ORIGINAL FRENCH recipes indeed used butter and the rest was inspired by med cuisine, I'm talking about the GENESIS.
As always you misinterpreted what I wrote to suit your bias, literally puting words in my mouth and making it your main argument, pathetic.
And yes, the word meme was used to trigger french people who won't accept the fact that French people tried hard to become meds, Bravo Einstein.

>>14316634
I never said it's a shocking fact or whatever, I agree it's normal, I was merely stating a fact.

Also, I'm talking about the GENESIS of French cuisine because it seems that the sophistication of French cuisine arose from the need to mask the lack of freshness of the ingredients.
In contrast, Italian and Med cuisines make salient the freshness of the ingredients.
Keep in mind that I'm talking about the GENESIS, which would eventually dictate the whole evolution of French cuisine as an attempt to emulate med cuisine (as with their language and many aspects of their culture)
As for your "vaguely european fancy food = French and vaguely european peasant food = british", it is only true for France and England.

>>14317399
You forgot the word original then, and forgot to define it. Should be pretty clear we are discussing contemporary cuisine in this thread.

>And yes, the word meme was used to trigger french people who won't accept the fact that French people tried hard to become meds, Bravo Einstein.

Southern France is literally part of the Mediterranean. People there are and were by definition Mediterranean, they didn't have to "try hard to become meds".

Southern France were in ancient times settled by greeks. Did they use butter? They knew it but didn't use it a lot. They grew olive trees and used olive oil.

>>14307599
Dubs of truth
>>14307729
Your French is either true shit or giigle translate

>>14316510
But French food doesn't really use spices

>>14317450
I made clear southern france was an exception (especially the cities bordering the mediterranean sea), but yeah I admit I should've precised I was talking about the genesis of it.
>>14317560
"allez à la merte" is the way Belgian say "go fuck yourself" and it's quite light hearted and funny. It is true "beligian" french.

>>14301518
Italian cooking never disappoints.

>>14318431
actually, I didn't even mention southern France, my bad. I thought I included it in my answer.

>>14301518
french, because i'm the kinda guy who uses an entire stick of butter to cook 1 egg

>>14318438
I would marry an Italian chick just for the food

>>14318555
Do you have what it takes to endure the craziness tho ? Good food isn't free anon.

Cajun is the only right answer

>>14318854
i agree, but i take issue with the dish pictured.
crawfish tails should be either (1) sparse or (2) plentiful, but still inside the crawfish. additionally, the roux is not dark enough on this etouffee.

i'd still eat it tho

>>14301518
Peruvian, I enjoyed certain Peruvians make
