|
|
What is your #1 favorite Cuisine, and what is your favorite dish?...
I know it can be difficult to choose just one, but give it a try... :wink:
The catagory that receives the most votes, will be declared the winner, and we'll all go out to dinner to have that cuisine...
NOTE: Hypothetically of course, since it is impossible for any of us to ever meet, and all be in one place, at the same time... :lol:

I'd have to choose boiled Lobster with steamers,
and a side of fried Calamari...
Don't forget corn on the cob, and lots of melted butter... Mmmm good... :wink:
Ooops... Almost forgot the Cole Slaw... :lol: |

| My favorite cusine was Faye! She was a few years older than me, and REAL pretty! I would have married her, but I was warned that our kid would grow up to be the President of the U.S. Unfortunately, my Uncle Roadhog beat me to it! And, well, the rest is Dubya's legacy! :wink: |

I make a fantastic seafood spaghetti dish. I use all fresh ingredients. That's the only way to have it. It's so delicious. I use lobster pieces, scallops, clams, shrimp and crab. MIx up garlic and butter and some other spices and add to the rest. Geez Red now my mouth's watering for some. LOL I'm not home till at least friday night late. I'll be wanting it for the rest of the week now. Agony!
Drive safe everyone. :) |

I voted "American" because I can get just about any other style of cuisine here in America. You can't eat authentic anything here in the states. Mexican is americanized, asian is americanized... you name it!
I'll eat just about anything at least once anyway.
Anything but bugs... that is. :shock: |

Your right about foreign cuisine in the states being "Americanized"... It is a shame too, because they tend to bland down the dishes...
I've even noticed that if you buy shrimp now, they don't have any taste to them anymore. They're now farm raising shrimp, and they must clean the taste right out of them. Because if you get fresh from the sea shrimp, they usually have that ocean flavor to them. Now, they have no flavor...
I don't know what the shrimp farmers are doing to them, but, they just are not the same as the shrimp you used to be able to buy years ago... :sad: |

What drives me nuts about americanized mexican food is that it's way spicier than actual authentic mexican food. I've eaten authentic mexican and it's not nearly as flavorful as what we eat in our local shops.
And don't believe that just because everyone working in the kitchen is mexcian/latin that they are cooking authentic fare. Remember, the general American's idea of mexican is Taco Bell....
I can't wait to get back out to New Mexico sometime and visit my friends there who make REAL mexican food. YUM YUM! |

You will find great Mexican fare in the border States. When I lived in S.Texas, and /or S.Arizona...the food was as good or better than across the border. Most places down there also speak predominantly Spanish and the music is Latino...so you even feel you are in Mexico.
Same deal with any ethnic fare. Much will depend on where you seek it out.
When I lived in the Bay Area, for authentic Chinese...you really want to go to San Francisco and hop the cable car into China Town.
For Greek...go to Detroit, and go to a restaurant in Greek Town. You will sip an ouzo, fancy the Greek language and people, and top off your wonderful meal with baklava....maybe even get drawn into a dance on the street to the music and friendly atmosphere.
For shrimp, crab, or crawfish, catfish..etc...you kiddin' me! Man...you need to visit ...........saaaaay...Lafayette, Louisana...cumsa? Dem Cajun's know how to feed ya!! And...if you make a friend with a Cajun...you have a friend for life. They know how to live and Partaaay! :lol:
Come to Leland...my hometown...and I will treat you to some mouthwatering smoked salmon...or some tender venison....eh? :lol: |
