I am interested in learning about which styles of cooking the general public prefers. Italian pastas or Greek ourzi? Do you prefer Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, or is it a Thai? Does your palate crave Hungarian goulash or Ethiopian rice? Do you know the difference between Creole and Cajun?
I personally prefer the cuisine of my hometown, New Orleans. I love Creole food and will go out of my way to get the right ingredients to make it. Give me spice and the Holy Creole Trinity: green peppers, onions, and celery! I can make a roux, I can eat hot sauce and garlic on ice cream if I have to, and I cannot live without Creole tomatoes and red beans.
What about you?

Hello Vatican Lokey !
My mother's family comes from South Carolina; nothing beats southern food; smothered pork chops, dirty rice, biscuits, gravy, peach cobbler, creamed potatoes, gravy, chicken fried steak, blueberry cobbler, gravy, fried chicken, apple pie, potatoe salad, and more gravy..
I also love Thai food, Chinese, Indian, Congolese, Mexican, Greek, Dominican, Italian; need I go on ?
If you put your heart in it when you prepare your food, it officially becomes "soul food" ; it doesn't matter what you look like, or where you come from...
Now let's talk New Orleans, I can't wait until I try craw fish etouffee, the famous red beans and rice, creole gumbo, and a po' boy sandwhich, to name a few.. Lawdy !!!
Good Lord !! I am hungry ! I will try anything, I love all foods; I can't wait until I go to New Orleans! I'm going to the best restaurants, and every little fast food eatery, and I'm going to take millions of pics !!
I do not discriminate against food; although, I have just started to eat lima beans; who knew they could be so tasty ?
Well, I am Italian and when I visit my hometown, I love to eat at the local NON chain Italian restaurants. But, I live in South Texas and the fare here is of course Mexican. And I do not mean Taco Bell. But there is something about a fresh tortilla with chicken fajita and spicy pico de gallo that gets my mouth watering. Hmmhmmm good.
My favorites are Curry with Pakoras Spinach Dosa with Sambar Aloo Gobi Idli Rajma Dal Parantha Bindhi Marsala Saag Panir Muttar Panir Roti Lemon Rice Raita Mango Pickle Lemon Pickle I just like Indian Food North and South -- Indo Pak, yes -- but other regions have their own charm Gugrati, Chenai, Bangalor, Tamil I love it all -- but I only like the simple Chai from Lahore -- you can keep all those heavily spiced teas.
I am so lucky to live in Texas. All the good cooks from New orleans moved to Houston and Dallas. Hopefully we will see some good restaurants here soon. I am so sick of the mexican food. It will also be good for the culture.
I eat everything. I dont prefer a certain taste. I like to experience different foods so I know what it tastes like and that I wont be ignorant. Anyways, I do enjoy eating spicy foods most of the time. No sweets...
