What foreign foods do you like?
i love all Polish foods, but thats not really foreign for me! haha i also love chinese food! i cant get enough of it!
I like to try everything. I haven't tried any foreign cuisine that I haven't liked something!
HI voldie.
I love all foreign food (I'm American) especially any kind of Asian (Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Thai) b/c I'm lactose intolerant and its pretty easy on my stomach. (As you could have guessed French gives me problems.)
Sometimes African can be interesting, if I'm in the mood. Unfortunately, to really get a cuisine you need access to the ingredients that make it good. For example, Argentinian food seems to be dependent on a supply of very good beef, and I haven't had any good argentenian in the states. And for Thai cooking you need Galangal, Kaffir Lime leaves, Lemongrass, and coconut milk. Thankfully, a new whole foods carrying all those things opened up in Austin and I've been making more exotic dishes. And you really don't get why italian food is so great unless all the ingredients are delicious and fresh.
I like Tex-Mex better than Mexican. So sue me.
The worst food I ever had was in London. It was overpriced, greasy, like something you'd buy in a pub.
