Hypothetical-- you can only choose two cuisines to eat for the rest of your life. What might they be?

For me it's Indian food, but then... what else? Ugh... what a question.

Bah. My mind is a whirling blank right here. I mean, freshly-prepared tiradito right off the boat is like... ffff, like tasting heaven.

I mean, I've never had *truly* fresh, truly authentic sushi, but I imagine it would be like tiradito? (note: it's a form of ceviche, i.e. latino lime-cooked fish slices)

Mexican and Italian. Both have very rich regional traditions with a ton of variety. Of course, Mexican food is a blend of Native American and European traditions, and Italian food (often) depends heavily on New World crops like tomatoes and corn, so these strict delineations are not real

I can only assume they just drank gallons of garam!

In all seriousness though, we have a very dedicated restaurant near us run by a couple from the Verona area in far-northern Italy, and they use no tomatoes or corn. Pretty much every dish they make would've been possible pre-Columbus. This includes many styles of pasta, sauces based in olive oil or butter, and other things like beef, shrimp, mushrooms, pistachios, peas, and a variety of cheeses.

Wow, that's... yeah!

So, hehe, I've been to Italia a grand total of , when we visited my aunt in Firenza, many years ago. (One of the things I really loved about Italia is how it busted our mindset about 'American expectations')

Eh, but they use no tomatoes or corn.

Fair! But we also came up with potatoes, chiles, and quite a number of spicy meatballs, not just of the polpette piccanti variety, eh?

  1. Indian
  2. Mexican

I try to eat mostly vegetarian at home, and Indian recipes are my go-to for that. Indian food is the best tasting vegetarian food in my opinion. I was tempted to put Chinese here because I make tofu stir fry somewhat frequently, but I go with Indian recipes more often.

Mexican for the second choice because that gives you huevos rancheros, Mexican rice and beans, and homemade corn tortilla chips with guacamole. And breakfast burritos from the place down the street from me.

Indian and Chinese are excellent options, since they’re basically a couple dozen (minimum) cuisines in a trench coat.

If I was to try and dabble in French food, what would you recommend I try? I've literally never had French food as far as I know and am intrigued.

lemmy.world

Not OP, still huge fan of French cuisine. I’d choose Coq au Vin. It’s straightforward to do at home, all you need is a pot and a cooking plate. Combines red wine, mediterranean herbs and a good amount of butter with vegetables and chicken for an incredible dish. French people value fresh, beautiful ingredients and are willing to pay top money for A-class quality. That’s another secret to their cooking.

Then there’s of course more dishes that you can’t easily do at home:

  • try a hand-made Croissant fresh out of the oven in the morning.
  • Cheeses - there’s hundreds of them, eat them alone or with some Baguette and grapes.
  • Galettes are thin wholegrain pancakes. They come with salty toppings, but also sweet varieties - salted caramel is a classic.
  • Fresh oysters with a squeeze of lemon.
  • Nothing compares to a good, aged French red wine. But also fresh white wines and roses are fine - locals buy them in 5 liter boxes in the supermarket, you put them in the fridge and are settled for a week. Just be mindful that they need to be fresh (last year’s harvest typically).
  • Sparkling wines are amazing, too. It’s fine to settle for Cremant, it’s the same stuff as Champagne, but cheaper.
  • I could write another list twice as long about seafood.

Best thing to do is visit France and experience it. No need to waste time and money in overcrowded Paris, foodies will be very happy in Bordeaux, Marseille, Rouen and affordable Provence area. You get amazing lunch deals (“plat du jour”, dish of the day) that typically include starter, main and dessert for around EUR15 in many places.

I'm happy you mentioned the bag-in-box wine. Boxed wind is frowned upon by snobs but when buying from a local co-op years ago the winemaker suggested to but some bagged wine for easy drinking. Especially suites for light wiens that don't age.

I would also suggest to try the 'tranche du boucher' (butcher's slice) in a local bistro. It's a slice of meat that is sold a bit cheaper. Have it with a bit of bread and a green salad.

My American friend taught I was crazy when i ordered the hand cut steak tartare once. Finely chopped seasoned meat. Extra points if you have it with a raw quail egg yolk. Heavenly.

Indian and Mexican. As a pescatarian married to someone who can't eat soy or eggs, we're already more or less doing that. Though Italian will be missed. Fourth would be American because unfortunately that's what we are

I'm American of Indian descent and I agree. I'm also celiac so I can't eat gluten. Indian and Mexican is so versatile. All the foods have almost every amino acid and nutrient. There are pastas we can eat! We have to make at home unfortunately but I refuse to give up Italian food!

Also, let's get lunch.

So land-based creatures are worth saving, but oceans are not? Fascinating.

Indian cannot be surpassed for vegetarian, but I don’t know how you would replicate many dishes without ghee, yogurt, or cream.

Chinese food! More specifically, Sichuan and Northwestern style food.

I don't need to pick a second one.

For me it would be Indian and Italian with mexican as an honourable mention id sorely miss.

All three are super easy to make on your own too and almost everything I make could be classed as imitations of either. Heck, I already make Christmas pizza every year instead of the usual Christmas dinner. A few years I've made Christmas enchiladas too which is why I'd miss mexican but I definitely have more curries than mexican over the course of any given year.

If Indian qualifies as one single cuisine - then Indian. I'll have enough dishes to try out in my lifetime and that's after considering I am vegetarian.

If Indian qualifies as one single cuisine

I guess you're probably right. India is a large country, with roots, cultures and traditions like an ancient sequoia tree's vast, extensive roots in the ground.

So just out of curiosity (especially as an ignorant Westerner), just how many distinct cuisines would you say there might be across India and the India-adjacent regions?

Note: let's try to avoid going 'regional' if possible, because any nation can be broken down in to heaps of regional variations, yeah?

Indian and Thai, but I'd really miss pho.

Mexican and Chinese.

But like the american type chinese takeout with a seventeen page menu of sushi and bubble teas I will never once get. And the mexican restaurants that also serve americanized tacos, so you know everything else has extra cheese and sauce.

5

I would say you're looking for Texmex cuisine, which is the Americanized version of Mexican food that's heavy with the cheeses and sauces, and Sino-American cuisine, which is the Americanized Chinese food and also includes things like fortune cookies which are most definitely not Chinese in origin.

Though I might just say "American" cuisine as that would include those things, and also very American foods like pizza, hamburgers, and hot dogs.

Japanese cuisine runs far and deep, and so does Thai food.

Of course, this begs the question: what about a good burger with kewpie on it, or what happens if I put carnitas in pad thai? Where’s the delineations?

Eventually I can argue that frosted animal crackers, the pink and white ones, furthest from any kind of national or regional cuisine whatsoever, are Thai food cause they’ve been eaten by Thai people.

FWIW the meat itself isn't unhealthy, its all the oils and sauces that accompany the meat the impact overall health.

1

Well, my understanding is that in general, the more processed the food (including meat), the worse it is for our health.

Gyro / shawarma meat is evidently heavily processed and then reconstituted in to the 'cone,' likely with a bunch of salt, binding agents and preservatives added. Not unlike sausages, for example.

So almost any type of meat that goes in to a shawarma / gyro, such as lamb, beef, chicken, etc is going to be considerably better for us when eaten straight-up, as with steaks, etc.

There's tons of Greek vegetarian dishes. Gyros and souvlaki are not your average every day home cooked meals.

I'm with you folks, on the whole. A well-prepared, complete-protein vegetarian meal rocks, especially with lots of complimentary seasoning.

Does gout come from consuming animal products? Hmm, I hadn't heard that, before.

@[email protected]

Take the meat parts out and I'll eat almost anything.

Stuff like cabbage (and Brassica sp.) are best cooked, because otherwise they can be goitrogenic, interfering with the thyroid gland's function over time. There's also the (admittedly slim) chance that some animal has passingly added something undesirable to a veggie, be it parasite or disease-causing.

Which is why it's important to do either a mild chlorine wash of any veggies you eat, or at least blanch them. (not trying to lecture anyone here; all that's just my personal understanding)

Opposite actually - fructose intake, alcohol intake (same pathway as fructose in liver), advanced glycation end products (glucose intake) are the major drivers of gout.

https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-821617-0.00004-8 Section 7.3 if you would like to know more (overwhelmingly so) - it's available on the normal 🦜 sites.

Basically the old connection that meat can drive uric acid a bit and uric acid is a component of gout isn't actually helpful, during a active flare up avoiding meat can help reduce uric acid levels a tiny bit but it does nothing to address the systemic cause of the gout in the first place. i.e. Watermelons have a high water content but are not causal in drownings, but avoid eating watermelons while actively drowning.... same thing

French food is complicated to make compared to other European countries and looks very fancy but it really isn't better than Italian, German, Spanish, or indeed British food. Don't get me wrong, I still make the odd quiche, crème brûlée, or sole meunière, but it's just to change things up when I get bored of making my usual repertoire of dishes. It's nice but more labour intensive for what it is. OP didn't say you'd be getting it from a restaurant every day. Your probably going to be making things from scratch a lot.

Ok so british fast food is definitely very heavy on meat pies and chips (although I should point out that there's a lot of crossover with south Asian fast food and there are other fast food standards like baked potatoes and various sandwiches). And where the confusion lies is that Brits only really eat British fast food or foreign restaurant food because why would you go to a restaurant to eat the same food you make at home? But there's a whole load of really nice food that just never gets sold in the restaurants. It's definitely British cuisine. British Christmas food is heavily spiced full of dried fruit and marinated in rum or brandy (rum is better), There are few deserts that can measure up to a well made apple crumble or sticky toffee pudding, and haggis is such a satisfying dish that it's inspired poetry.

My problem with picking a cuisine is what that means.

It has become a gripe amongst Italian-Americans where I live that their cuisine isn't considered to be Italian because Italy has changed in a different direction from their traditional cooking. The Italian-Americans can trace some recipes and practices to those who just got off the boat, but those practices don't reflect modern Italian cuisine.

I'd probably pick Italian as one of my cuisines, but I don't know if my practices would match the current cooking practices from the nation-state of Italy.

Just because something is made in a place doesn't mean its part of the cuisine belonging to that place. Indian dishes do NOT count for British.

It is widely regarded as a British dish which British parents make for their British children in their British kitchens. When snack companies like pringles do a selection of British flavours tikka masala is included alongside marmite and roast beef. I'm sorry but there is absolutely no way you can convince me that specifically tikka masala isn't part of British cuisine. Tikka masala sauce is available in many chip shops as a topping. You might as well tell the Irish that they can't have potato bread because potatoes are from north America.

The curries I mentioned are all British though, invented in Britain, by mostly Bangladeshi immigrants. And they're largely unknown in South Asia. You'd really struggle to find a 'Chicken Madras' in Chennai for example.
