What's Your Favorite Nationality of Food

I'll eat the cut up smooth body part of the squid, but no squigglies. Blech.

No tentacles? That's the tastiest part! I bet you don't even like octopus!
 
That squid looks awesome!
No thank you!!

Not a fan of tentacles?

So squigglies. I'll eat the cut up smooth body part of the squid, but no squigglies. Blech.

I also don't do bivalves. Blech.

So you don't like calimari?
I do!! I just need it to be breaded. hehe
It's too chewy otherwise.

Then it just like squid. Its pretty much the same as squid.

How about this?

I grew up in Florida.....poor to mid income Florida.....at 63, I still prefer what most people call soul food.....we just called it supper....bbq, collards, cornbread, biscuits, grits, peas, etc.....a real treat was steak and mashed potatoes....I was the only one in the family that would eat steak rare..... and I still like it rare.....oh, and no sea food...it just doesn't agree with me.....
 
Middle Eastern veggie food for me. Tabouli, falafel, Baba Ganouj, hummus on fresh hot pita.
 
1. American -

a. 12 oz. Ribeye medium rare with baked potato and corn on the cob and some delicious dinner rolls, washed down with either iced tea or an ice cold beer.

2. Mexican - Just about all of it.

3. Chinese - Partial to a good sweet & sour pork or chicken, egg rolls, shrimp-fried rice.

My aunt is Malaysian and she cooks squid salad all the time. It has the consistency of rubber.

Not opposed to it but also not a fan.
 
I grew up eating Polish foods, mostly on holidays. We will have fresh kielbasa w/sauerkraut, and stuffed cabbages and perogies throughout the winter months.

Nope! Well...it depends on what part and how it's prepared.

The first time I went to Portugal, I was about 9 years old and went with my mother and brother. We stayed with my grandmother, who served us octopus one night. I know that a lot of every-day cooking in Portugal doesn't have much...'flair' I guess you could say, but it's still flavorful and seasoned. Well, I suspect my grandmother was not much of a cook, however. She just boiled the legs and slapped them on a plate. I cried and refused to eat it. I eventually got a pork chop instead.

So you don't like calimari?

Calamari is just a fancy word for squid. And like I said, I like the "rings" - the cut up smooth main body of the squid. I don't like the tentacles. Like I said before, it's not about taste but texture. I hate the feeling of the suction cups. And the other parts are only rubbery if it's cooked wrong.
 
Mexican and Italian food on top of the list for me
