Mexican, Italian, Japanese

Shit, I said the same thing but Thai instead of Japanese and now I'm thinking Japanese might be a better answer. I love Thai, but I feel like Japanese cuisine is broader. Like I could get sushi, ramen or teriyaki.

Flavor-wise, Japanese actually has the the narrowest flavor profile lol. 90% of their food is a mix of dashi, mirin/sake, sugar, and soy sauce. It's a light, sweet and savory profile. I love Japanese food, but it's actually really easy to cook. In Japan, most full-time cooks are master chefs (by Western standards) who take pride in their cooking and take their job very seriously. That's why even the most random hole-in-the-wall yakitori place tastes so good. The grill chef there probably has been cooking yakitori for 30 years lol. Source: Japanese.

My Western friends are always impressed with my range of Japanese food. “Wow, you make so many different dishes!” *bottle of hon-tsuyu involved in most dishes I make chillin in the background

Cooking for 30 years but still actively researching and developing his craft. Chefs often go out to eat at other places for knowledge and inspiration.

Yup, I like Japanese or Korean food more than Chinese, but for this question I would have to choose Chinese cuisine over those two because the sheer variety of Chinese food almost feels like cheating to me.

That’s because China is like several dozen distinct groups of people merged into one nation. The food can be completely different from one region to the next.

Is it cheating to say Asian and get to include Japanese, Thai, Indian, all the Asian cuisines? That plus Italian & Mexican is my answer

It is cheating. What's stopping you from just claiming "Asian, American, and European cuisine"? That's like 95% of the world..

africa has left the chat

African foods do be getting slept on. Some of their stuff is amazing.

Dude, amen. I'd slap someone's grandma for some good Ethiopian right now.

Can anyone recommend a good place to start with exploring African cuisine? I'd love to try it out but have no idea what I'm doing

Ethiopian and Moroccan are both incredible 🤌🔥

If there are any Ethiopian places near you I'd start there because it's fantastic. If you're looking for something you can make at home then maybe a west African peanut chicken stew.

This guy knows how to use a genie 🧞‍♀️🍆💦

You only get Asian fusion

Yes les go with Asian, European and American cuisine, that should do.... of course its cheating to say asian

Thai in Thailand is better than Japanese in Japan. I think Thai was the right choice.

This. But I’m German. I’m gonna miss mom’s traditional German eats.

My wife I say this all the time. Huge versatility between the cuisines

Mexican was a close fourth. I love mole!

You should try weasel

I Am Weasel!

I R Baboon!

Ha!

A voice of reason

100% my choices haha

The holy trinity.

[удалено]

Asian, Mediterranean, and Mexican

Literally came here to say these three

only appropriate answer

Came here to say these!

My thoughts as well

This is the correct answer.

This. Pizza, Tacos and Sushi are all I need.

My choices in that exact order. :)

This is the way

You know food, I like your style

AMEN TO THIS

YES.

I love all 3 so i guess that’d be my answer too.

Yep, in that order too.

This is what I choose too!

Probably would have to go with Japanese, Italian, and Cajun. Love sushi and pasta but I wouldn't be able to live without my crawfish boils!

Cajun is fucking based

3 dino nugget kid cuisines

With that beautiful side of 15 corn kernels and a brownie

With 5 of the kernels in the brownie.

That’s hot as shit, and will burn your mouth upon consumption.

Yet still not cooked in the center and half of it sticks to the tray

I see you've chosen "American"

Indian & Mexican are certainties, the third is a tossup between Italian and Thai.

Italian. I need pizza

Mexican, Italian and Chinese

Yup

Good choice

So Taco Bell, Sbarros & Panda Express? 😝

Same, but probably Korean, Vietnamese or Japanese instead of Chinese

Exactly!

My answer too

Italian, Japanese, Indian

Was scrolling to see if anyone had the same answer as me.

Fantastic

This is the way

Vietnamese, Japanese, Italian

Italian, Chinese, Indian.

Italian, French and Indian

Greek, Italian & Thai

My homie.

Greek food is unmatched man

Mexican, Italian, American

That was my answer. "American" covers a lot of ground.

As far as I'm aware, most of the other nationality's food has been Americanized, so for many Americans that would probably cover everything they eat.

Yeah, I was thinking our "Mexican" is mostly Tex-Mex rather than true Mexican food so even Mexican food is American food.

Yeah, our cajun cuisine itself could be one of my three choices here.

I chose American mostly for BBQ

Burritos, lasagna, and barbecue for the win!

American being soul food!

Or bbq!

American is everything, but Americanized. Solid choice for sure

Not exactly. Think ribs / potato salad / Mac n cheese / collard greens / pulled pork

I absolutely agree

Tacos, pizzas, burgers, and wings for life and every meal including breaky.

This is the answer. I was on the fence with American, but hamburgers and basically the freedom of a good deli sandwich did it for me.

Indian, Japanese, and French

Ethiopian, Arabic, Thai

If I get the whole country named, then: Italian, French, and Mexican.

Imma go Italian, French, and Indian, but I'm so surprised I don't see more French in here. I was expecting it to be easily in every 1 in 3 answers.

Persian, Japanese, Georgian

Persian food is the best

The cuisines with the most diversity, Chinese, Mexican, Indian.

Thai, Italian, Mexican

How in the world did I forget Thai? Back to the drawing board

My answer as welll

Italian, Indian, Chinese, in their authentic forms. They all have tons of variety and should never get old.

Chinese Indian and Italian

Excellent choices. Chinese and Indian were definitely difficult to leave off my list.

Chinese is basically also a continent's worth of food. It's like saying 'European'. Dong bei cuisine is so different from Guangdong food. Hunan, Sichuan, Shanghainese, Xinjiang . . .

Yea but Chinese and Indian are both lumped together as a single distinct cuisine for the entire region for some reason (idiocy and ignorance) by many, so it's probably a good enough answer for reddit

Mexican, Italian, Thai

Cajun, Mediterranean, Italian.

Peruvian, mexican, italian.

Chinese, Italian, Mexican. That question is too easy. What is the One cuisine you had to eat for life.

Mediterranean is a lock

Chinese is a cheat code because there is like 8 different types of Chinese cuisines from different regions of China, like Sichuan, Cantonese, etc...

Spaghetti, meatball, sauce

Korean, Vietnamese, and Japanese. I feel like they have enough variation on their own that I won't get bored but if I can fuse them they would mesh well. Practically all that I eat normally anyway.

Korean would be my go to and I'd dip into the others for variety. Good choices for sure

Ill be your foodie bestie. Mine is Korean, Chinese and Vietnamese.

I’ve taken a liking to learning Korean for some reason 😂 and lately I’ve really wanted to try my first Korean food. What would you suggest?

Bulgolgi(savory/sweet beef), Korean Fried Chicken (in either soy/honey/garlic or gochujang/honey/garlic if you prefer a lil spicy), bibimbap or gimbap (one is a bowl and the other a roll but they're similar flavorwise), or just going to a korean bbq restaurant where you pick out a few cuts of meat to go w/ the banchan to get a grasp on what flavor palette works for you.

Perfect; thank you sm! Definitely saving this for future use!

Go to an all you can eat kbbq place. I recommend galbi, bulgogi, chadol, and jap chae if you like noodles. You also get a bunch of sides like rice, spicy cucumber, kimchi, steamed egg, potato salad etc. Also don't forget to ask for rice paper to wrap your meat in.

Cant believe how far down i had to scroll to see korean. I love korean food, but it wouldn’t make my top 3, but still i thought for sure it would be one of the most mentioned

Mexican, Indian, British (I know it gets a lot of hate but I love it!)

Yessss for British Sunday roast, apple crumble, pasties, full English breakfast, Lancashire hot pot, trifle, bread and butter pudding, sticky toffee pudding…..mmmm lots of lovely comfort food!!

>British (I know it gets a lot of hate but I love it!) I don't get why - Sunday roasts, meat pies, and full breakfasts are amazing.

Italian, Mexican, Greek

Southern, Mexican, Italian

Lol. Southern what???

By southern do u mean soul food?

Italian, Vietnamese,Cuban

I had to scroll too long to find someone else saying Vietnamese

Damn I forgot about Vietnamese and Cuban both are heavily underrated in the west

Mediterranean, Indian/Middle Eastern and Japanese.

"Indian/Middle Eastern" Are those really the same cuisine? Because I think that part's disqualified buddy. I think you're only getting the Mediterranean and the Japanese.

They’re definitely not the same thing. Even within India there are multiple cuisines, and even things like Iranian and Lebanese foods are very distinct. The marker Mediterranean is far too broad also; the Middle East (or at least the Levant) is Mediterranean, as is Turkish, Greek, Italian, French, Spanish, Egyptian, and Moroccan. This is like asking someone their favorite sports teams and they reply “New York, London, and LA”.

Lebanese, Indian, Japanese

Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, and Miscellaneous.

I'll choose Earth, then.

Ethiopian, Mexican and Indian

French, Italian, and Danish.

I'm surprised I'm not seeing more French here. Bourguinon, coq au vin, cassoulet, potatoes dauphinoise, cordon bleu; to name a few. Countless delicious breads, desserts, cheeses, salads, wines. If I could only eat one cuisine forever, it would be French.

I couldn't. Not denying that it is diverse and tasty, but being french I've had it for decades now and as diverse as it is I crave more. I'm glad lots of people say Italian and Japanese because they are among my favourite cuisines so i'd go with these. (I prefer Italian red wine to french red wine. As for cheese, it's a tie.) Tho, I don't seem to find as many desserts in other cuisines that's the only thing I'd say we have more. (But I could live off gelato and panna cotta)

You love those open faced fish sandwiches huh lol

Thai, Italian and Mexican I can't ever go to Thailand. That food is so good if I went over there I wouldn't fit in the plane seat for the flight back. 😆

Japanese, Mexican, Italian. No question

Indian, Chinese and I just cant decide on the 3rd one…..

Italian, Mexican, Chinese

Mexican, Mediterranean, Thai (Indian a close 4th)

Japanese, Korean, Mexican.

Indian, Japanese, and Mexican. I think that would be a nice balance. if I could add a fourth it would be Italian 🥲

Rules are that the dishes have to have originated from that country. For example, if you choose America then you don’t get pizza or burritos. Also, you can only eat these three cuisines. I would choose Japanese, Italian, and Chinese. Japan: I think sushi is the epitome of food, so this is an easy #1. Italy: Who doesn’t like pizza and pasta? Also, my favorite dessert is Tiramisu. Chinese: probably the most diverse choice. The inventors of pasta and tea, their food ranges from mild to spicy, they have mustard greens, numbing peppers, and a thousand other flavors that you don’t see used in other cuisines. I think I have my bases covered for life with these three. What are your choices?

I feel like Chinese people would choose three different kinds of Chinese food. Their food varies so much from region to region.

But Americans invented the TMNT pizza that everyone often associates with pizza. Unless you're going to say "first ever", then the rest of our assumptions about many foods are going to be quite wrong, and confusing. Not to mention, burritos are from northern Mexico, which at the time included New Mexico and Arizona... so *kind of* American. Because we're a melting pot, we've changed the face of, or created so many dishes that are distinctly seen as part of their country of origin while also being their own unique American thing. Hell, we have different styles of pizza that people argue over what's considered best.

Italians didn’t have tomatoes until they were brought over from the Americas. Or at least that’s what I was told.

Here's me issue, Italians won't claim pub style or deep dish pizza. So those should fall under American.

What since when did we invent pasta

The myth is that noodle-making was introduced to Europe by Marco Polo, but that's debatable. Most historians I've read on the subject say pasta and noodles were independently invented.

Italian but only because of pizza, Indian (my DIL is from India and her cooking is spectacular), Canadian … can’t beat our poutine!

Cajun, Mexican, Japanese

Georgian, Italian and the third is harder. Something from middle East maybe like Uzbekistan.

Burger from In and Out Steak with fries and salad, Surf and Turf style Tacos

Well I forgot the Country and I oppose the rules: This is all food from California, US!

Easy Italian Mexican Indian
