What's Your Favorite Nationality of Food

[limr30 3]

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.

Mmm, pierogi! I've had a lot of Polish students over the years who would cook me homemade pierogi. So delish. It was also a common food in Pittsburgh and there were some restaurants that made wonderful pierogi.

Chinese and Mexican are close for me.

50% of my coworkers are Chinese, so I have had some good eats at parties and lunch outings.

Sushi= NO. Call it what you want, but unless you COOK that fish, I ain't eatin' it.

We had sushi when I was a kid, but we called it "bait."

As a vegetarian, I only eat sushi with no fish/crab/imitation crab. The veggie sushi is actually quite good, especially when you can find rolls with mango, sweet potato, avocado, etc. Delicious!

Italian.....because I'm Italian.....

My heritage is Scotch/Irish, but my stomach is all Italian.

Of course I also enjoy....

My Italian Grandma (God rest her soul) used to make this chicken in wine with polenta that was out of this world! I've tried her recipe but it still doesn't taste like hers.....

Saltimbocca alla Romana with a side of polenta. Acqua Pazza, Buridda, Penne all'arrabbiata and of course an all time favorite Bistecca alla fiorentina.

Veggie sushi -- isn't that also called "salad?"

Keep in mind, salad is not a food, salad comes with the food. You go into any good restaurant and order a steak and they bring you a salad for nothing. That's cause it's not food. When they bring me a salad I think Mmmmm...If I wait right here something good will happen soon.

Isn't making fun of vegetarians quite passé these days?

I'm a vegetarian and I can say I have eaten some really good salads in Australia, roasted pumpkins are my favorite. If I have to choose a country of choice I would say Spanish for their tapas selections and Middle Eastern for hummus!

Exactly. Veggie sushi is just...veggies. Raw veggies, sure I'll eat that (depending on the veggie), but that ain't sushi. It's just rolled up raw veggies, with maybe some rice or whatever it is they put in those little rolls of rawness. In my little world, it doesn't qualify as "sushi" unless there is raw seafood involved.

I guess I'm confused. So a salad that has meat in it isn't a salad? It's a meat platter?

No, it's a salad. With meat in it. The salad is still there, in between the meat. If you roll up raw fish and then you ALSO add veggies, that's still sushi.
But when you take a bunch of chicken and shred it and add mayo and stuff like that and call it chicken SALAD...yeah, THAT ain't salad, it's shredded meat. Or poultry, in that case.

Food rules, according to sm4him. They are vast and complicated. And no one knows them all except me.

So, if you take meat out, it's still a salad, right? So, if you take fish out of sushi, it's still sushi.
