Texas food. Tex-Mex, BBQ, Chili, chicken fried steak beats Yankee food any day. Migas for breakfast, yum!

Also, jalapenos are mild peppers!

I think eating chicken fried steak counts as a notch its so good.

Sorry Bitchard, but your English fish and chips are bullshit. That's right...... I'm calling you out.

biscuits and gravy for breakfast

That's called gravy in the US? Doesn't even come close to our gravy:

That's a different kind of gravy, pork (sausage) grease based, flour, milk. Usually has chunks of breakfast sausage in it.
The brown gravy in yours is beef based. There's all kinds of gravy, it's just a way of reconstituting drippings, so not to waste them. Just add flour and water/milk.

As a guy in the middle of a weight cut, this thread is to me what the "what does a 10 look like" thread is to guys doing NoFap.

Al Pastor is actually based on Middle eastern food

Quote:Quote:

Al pastor (from Spanish, lit. In the style of the shepherd), also known as tacos al pastor, is a dish developed in Central Mexico, likely as a result of the adoption of the shawarma spit-grilled meat brought by the Lebanese immigrants to Mexico. Being derived from shawarma, it is also similar to the Turkish döner kebab and the Greek gyros. Although shawarma and döner are usually lamb-based (thus the "shepherd-style" name), gyros and tacos al pastor in Mexico are made from pork.

The closest dish is a Doner Kebab - which is made out of lamb.



A lot of places use Naan or Pita Bread.

Doner meat (Lamb) > Al Pastor (made with Pork)
Naan/Pita Bread > tortillas

I live in Los Angeles and I've eaten a lot of genuine Mexican food...I'm not Middle Eastern but I think it's hard to beat a good Doner Kebab.

I am pretty much giving a like to everything in this thread, even Britchard's fish and chips, though the peas make any upstanding citizen think of this:



I am sure Britchard apologizes for inspiring that gif.

I love Asian and Indian cuisines, especially the more exotic ones like Nepalese which are like a middle ground between Indian and Oriental dishes. I always go for the weirder things on conventional Indian menus too.

Alternatively give me a nice juicy rump steak with herbed sweet potato wedges, tender stem broccoli seasoned with a fuckload of pepper and I'm happy.

Whenever people say they like Vietnamese food I know they mean one of three things...banh mi, pho, or spring rolls. Everything else is pretty much an acquired taste.

I like Vietnamese food a lot but i've seen very very few western tourists sit down to have a bowl of Bun Rieu Cua or something similar.

With that being said Viet food is extremely healthy. That's why you get all those flawless skin toned honies with perky tits.

Thai food is probably my all time favorite. I could live off of it easily because there's such a broad variety.

Mexican is a close second but it does get repetitive even when you delve into the various mole which has nothing on SEA curries.

We all know American food is da best

Fuck what you think. New England on top.

Have you ever tried them? Absolutely fucking delicious, waiting for another UK RVFer to come back me up!

There's nothing distinctly new england or even slightly original about fresh seafood.

Italian is probably the best. The sheer variety of it is just mind-boggling. Don't like pasta? Cool, here's some grilled branzino with a side or roasted potatoes. And yes, I do prefer it over on the mainland as opposed to the Americanized versions of it

Food from the Caucusus (Georgian, Armenian etc.) is criminally underrated as well.

Mushy peas has the taste and texture of Gerber's baby food.

Brits make good fish and chips and underrated breakfast items like bangers but mushy peas looks like jolly green giant jizz.

Nepalese food is great. It truly is the best parts of oriental and indian food.

Color me ignorant but I honestly didn't know other places specifically served boiled lobster, clams, and corn on the cob as a common dish.

Atlantic lobster is regional but nothing about that plate of food is original.

It's super common throughout southeast asia (even in street stalls) and probably in the med. parts of europe too.

I guess you could call the corn part of the plate "new england" but that's like calling potatoes Irish or rice Chinese.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall of culinary history when the first guy came up with the idea of the crab/lobster boil aka "just throw some shit in a pot". I bet it went like this:

"Dammit wife, why are you using so many dishes and taking so long to cook dinner! We were supposed to eat two hours ago. Get out of the way, let a man show you how!!!!"

he then proceeds to throw everything into the nearest cauldron of boiling water in a rage, without peeling or shucking anything first, probably the same large pot that the wife was boiling the laundry in. Once she screams out that its the laundry pot he dumps out the whole thing on the floor in a drunken rage, with the kids and wife crying and yells "There , THERE is your Damn dinner! Was that so hard! Pick it up off the floor...none of you are good enough for plates" They eat it, and find it surpisingly edible.

The brine from the family's dirty underwear in the laundry pot was later replaced with boil seasoning.

The best food comes the Deep South of the USA; better known as Soul Food.

Everyone in America knows Black Folks make some delicious food (minus the chitlins of course).

Argentina's steaks: bifes de chorizo especially, and its Malbec wines, and even its "dulce de leche" are quite wonderful. And cheap.

Anyway, not everything is open to interpretation and relative in the world. For example, regarding the best food of the world, the most refined and diverse, almost all (honest) professionals agree that it is the French who win gold, just before the Italian (and many people put the Vietnamese third). It's because I am told that the professionals value (above all) the sauces, and sheer variety and quality of products.

It's not so much the individual ingredients - I mean most all international cuisine uses somewhat common foods that are grown and eaten all over the world. It's just the combination of foods and how it's prepared/served that makes it a sort of New England staple.

Like I said I may just not know what I'm talking about but as far as I've always known, Maine Lobster, steamers, and corn on the cob is a signature New England thing. Couple that with a hearty bowl of ultra thick New England clam chowder and your stomach is gonna be wicked fuckin' happy guy!

I 2nd good 'ole American southern BBq - also Cajun food. Louisiana French quarter cuisine is fucking delicious...

Fucking cuisine from Lyon, best city in the world for gourmets. Rosette de Lyon, cheese, cervelle de canut, trippes, andouilette. Le porc est à l'honneur.

Ok, so there are definitely a lot of things on here that look good, especially the cold meats, fresh cheese and grilled veggies.

But as I've done it before on various food threads here, get it through your thick skulls, Chicago deep dish is the best!




P.s. Fuck those mushy peas!
