Not if you are Japanese. (Exotic = foreign.)

NecroKing's avatar

I’m not Japanese.

I like Indian food (except in India it’s just called food).

@gailcalled sorry to plagerise your joke but it was so funny I thought it could do with another mention

NecroKing's avatar

heh. I thought it was funny.

Sushi…I think it’s fun to take people who have never had it out to try it.

also, I really enjoy Chinese.

My favorite ethnic dish or my favorite ethnic cuisine?

My favorite ethnic dish is pastitsio, which is Greek (and Greek food is my favorite ethnic cuisine).

NecroKing's avatar

Ah, I like some Greek food.

MrMeltedCrayon's avatar

Greek food is amazing. I happen to be a big fan of spanakopita.

As I am Polish, it isn’t really all that exotic for me, but I do love me a good peasant’s dinner: pierogi (cheese, potato and kraut), my family’s sauerkraut (a combo of Polish and German flavors), huge chunks of rye bread, kielbasa with fresh horseradish and red cabbage with apples. Oh what the heck, let’s add one more carb: pan fried kluski.

Now I’m hungry…

wrestlemaniac's avatar

Oh don’t forget to add Golonki.

lefteh's avatar

@MrMelted: Since I know you happen to be a Columbusite, the spanakopita at the Happy Greek in the Short North is excellent if you’ve never tried it.

I love Indian food and Thai food. I’m bummed that I haven’t found a great Thai restaurant where I live, I’m suffering from withdrawals!!

Les's avatar

@wrestle: You mean Golabki (pronounced gowumpki)? Yeah, those are good, too. But I’m leaving them out of my meal for fear of my stomach exploding.

wrestlemaniac's avatar

Yes that’s what i mean, and what you can’t eat all that, gue me the rest then.

jlm11f's avatar

Chinese, Indian, Thai, Italian are my favorites.

wrestlemaniac's avatar

I think i love you. ;)

Indian and Greek for me….I am neither

Japanese. I keep hoping to stumble onto a group that eats only ice cream yet manages to stay trim and healthy due to the special way they make the ice cream, but it hasn’t happened yet. Until then give me some sushi and some homestyle Japanese!

NecroKing's avatar

I like Irish…..McDonald’s rock. ba da ba, ba ba…I’m loving it.

wrestlemaniac's avatar

Domino’s, and Hail Empress! I bow to your Decision. :)

I love American food, because all of the other foods mentioned above, can be found in America.

You always find a way to make me laugh.

gailcalled's avatar

I grew up with potato pancakes (fried with rendered chicken fat -aka schmaltz) and eaten with apple sauce and sour cream. Also my grandmother’s chopped herring salad and sweet-and-sour cabbage soup with flanken ( guaranteed to inflate you like the Graf Zeppeline).

trudacia's avatar

I love Mexican food.

I don’t think I could narrow it down to one type.

My girlfriend comes from a Philippino background, so every time I’m at her family’s house, I get delicious lumpia, adobo and whatnot. When I was in Turkey, I ate, and ate, and ate every chance I got because the food was amazing. Ditto Spain, Dubai and Jordan. But of course, you can’t beat a wonderfully seared steak (my ethnicity is Texan, so steak counts).

Anthony Bourdain has my dream job, if only for the wide variety of food.

Tantigirl's avatar

Oooh yeah, Turkish food is fabulous dawling!!!!

I miss my aussie food living here in Boston. I’d kill for a meat pie or a sausage roll around about now!!!

@Lefteh: And if you ever happen to be on East Broad, try hitting up the Mad Greek. They’re pretty good too.

lefteh's avatar

I’ll give them a try…next time I’m on East Broad….which is never.
But I’ve been known to make long journeys just to try new Greek places.

Ha…it’s funny that they are called the Happy Greek and the Mad Greek.

tinyfaery's avatar

I grew up around so many different kinds of food: Mexican, Italian, Jewish, Middle Eastern, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. We are talking going over to the homes of my friends and eating what they were having for dinner. I later developed a taste for Indian food.
My fave would have to be middle eastern; I LOVE taboulleh.

NecroKing's avatar

mamma mia pizzaria!.

wrestlemaniac's avatar

pizzaria la mancha. (completes tune)

cyndyh's avatar

I love many kinds of food. I’m good at cooking several of my and my family’s favorites -Italian, mexican, cajun, chinese, etc. My husband is really good at a few of our favorite Thai dishes.

When I go out I like Indian food since that’s something I’m not yet good at cooking at home. I like getting the sample plates where you get a bit of many different tastes. If you order some extra naan, one sample plate is big enough to share. Yum.

NecroKing's avatar

I have ordered some ready. :)

wrestlemaniac's avatar

I got the Drinks.

gailcalled's avatar

Tiramisu (Italian). If I am going to sin, I do it big-time.

wrestlemaniac's avatar

Hey join the club.

cyndyh's avatar

Cool. So we’re having Indian food with extra naan followed by tiramisu? Add a swanky mixed coffee after-dinner drink and we have a perfect meal.

wrestlemaniac's avatar

I’ll bring the drinks.

NecroKing's avatar

I’ll bring the cigars.

cyndyh's avatar

Deal.

I want to learn to make naan. I know they do that on a clay oven. I’m thinking of getting a clay pot for in my oven and seeing how that’ll work.

XrayGirl's avatar

Indian, Italian, Latin,and Soul

NecroKing's avatar

NecroKing's avatar

Taaaaco beeeell (ricola way)

XrayGirl's avatar

soul food??? um, pinto beans, cornbread, fried chicken, mash taters, fried okra, home made biscuits, pecan pie….maybe I meant “southern”....sorry for the confusion and NOW I’M HUNGRY!!!!

wrestlemaniac's avatar

NecroKing's avatar
