   Middle Eastern food (Greek/Turkish/Lebanese/Arabic/Israeli) is really delicious, too. Hummus, tabouli, babaghanoush, and falafel are some of my personal favorites. Some of the flavors aren't entirely unlike Mexican, if you like that.

   I grew up eating Mexican food (my best childhood friend's family was from Mexico), so I've always loved it.  But, I don't eat it much anymore (my Polish--meat and potatoes--husband isn't super fond--I'm not super fond of meat and potatoes, being  vegetarian, so we compromise).
   
   Other favorites:
   Indian
   Chinese
   Japanese
   Thai
   Vietnamese
   Korean

    I once lived in San Francisco and also in Seattle. I love Chinese and Vietnamese   food with a passion but on the east coast the food is just not the same as the west coast.  No where near as good. In San Francisco there was a small little Vietnamese  cafe just off Market Street that I miss so bad. The spring rolls there were so good and you know you can not get Tsingtao Beer ( Chinese Beer ) on the east coast. I don't know why. To me it is better than Heineken and that is saying something. In Seattle you could get such good Chinese and Vietnamese Food. I am going to have to make a trip to the west coast soon.

    well, whereever I live it seems I consider their food to be the best.

Now that I live in a primarily mexican immigrant neighborhood, my favorite is mexican food. *smile* but I have to say that mexican food has got to be the best of them all. And I"m not talking about tex-mex like taco bell or something, I'm talking about true mexican food (mole verde, flautas, posloe, etc...)

       It's true... it's highly dependent on what's available (and good) where you live.  For example, I love Chinese food here in the Bay Area, but the Chinese food in Texas was... disgusting... and that's a generous description.
       
       Here in the Bay we're blessed to have an ethnically diverse community, and that really helps when it comes to cuisine.

    Give me Indian anytime. My taste buds are used to plenty of spices that will bring tears into a Westerner's eyes. I like Chinese only because the Chinese cuisine we get here in India is modified to suit the Indian taste. I tried continental once, but really missed the spices. Oh, give me red hot spicy food.

    I just returned from a year backpacking through South East Asia and although that first slice of pizza in New York was everything I'd remembered I now have a life long addiction to curries, Thai and Indian.  If I could make mittens of garlic naan bread that were fashionable, societally acceptable and somehow hygienic I would eschew utensils forever.
    
    There is also something to be said for the simple noodle soups of Vietnam and Indonesia, nothing greater when you're on the move and in need of something you can point to and trust to a 12 hour bus ride.  However, if you find yourself in Singapore steer clear of the spicy mixed piglet soup, it's mediocre going in and awful coming snout...

    Because I enjoy cooking I end up copying so many things we eat out - which can be a danger but we also make eating in fun by going to different countries for out meals.  We don't have green chicken curry for dinner, we go to Thailand etc...  It is silly but keeps us entertained!

    My favorite food? Well, I realise that the French are not the most popular people in the world these days (actually, I like them quite a lot!) but when it comes to food and cooking I have to say that Fench food is still probably the best in the world.
    
    Of all the wonderful regions of France, my own personal choice is Provence - not only for its incredible lndscapes and monuments, but also for the food and cooking.
    
    At the risk of putting my head on the block here, I genuinely believe that the cooking of Provence is the lightest, tastiest, most colorful, most elegant and, above all, healthiest cooking in the world!

    While grilling is an art and a lifestyle, even I can't pass it off as cuisine! So, I've got to go with Italian. Talk about art, the creation of fine red meat sauce ranks right up there. It provides the base for amazing recipes like eggplant parmigiana and red sauce lasagna. Yikes, don't even get me started on a fine clam sauce with some linguini or a fettacini alfredo.
