Your Favorite Food and its Culture

[TJ Detweiler]

I am Asian, Korean to be exact and I find foods from many cultures very appetizing, my question is which food do you find the most appetizing? Discuss. Also list the culture because it might be from a different culture than you originally thought it was.

Mine:

Kimchi(Spicy Pickeled Cabbage)

Korean.

 

[The Oi]

Greek- I like good authentic gyros, pita bread with hummus and good Baklavah to follow it up. One of my favorite meals of any culture.

 

[Mdog1]

Chinese Food. Not looking up a picture but damn I love chinese food.

 

[Splitz]

Favorite: Chicken With Brocolli

Origin: Fake Chinese

Location: Can be found most likely 5 minutes from your house.

Nothing....and I mean NOTHING...beats my grilled hot dogs. I'll take a pic next time it qualifies because the google images all look like some guy from Normandy tried to make a hot dog and failed miserably.

Has anyone here tried the Myanmar food at C&Y Chinese Resterant on St. Clair Ave? Burmese (the country has changed its name to Myanmar) is amazing... when I moved to my new apartment I got hooked on it.

Taste of Myanmar (Monday, March 20, 2006)

By Cleveland.com

A first in a Cleveland restaurant has to be the many Myanmar dishes now being served at C&Y Chinese Restaurant, 2222 St. Clair Ave., Cleveland. Myanmar, formerly Burma, is known for its spicy dishes. The grilled spicy beef slices served with a sauce and variety of vegetables; chicken with vegetables; and spicy shrimp were all first rate. C&Y does not season these dishes nearly as hot as one would get if eating them in Myanmar. But it does provide diners with a dish of hot pepper flakes and chile oil. There are also a number of vegetable dishes, soups and other items from Myanmar on the C&Y menu. Many seem not far removed from Chinese dishes, others are unfamiliar to most Cleveland palates.

I was out in my home state of California last week, and I got my new all time favorite...

Six dollar Carls Jr GUACAMOLE BURGER.. :drool:

It is a crying shame that Ohio doesn't have Carls Jr. Travesty to be honest..

And Splitz is right.. There's a Chinese place within two minutes of walking distance from my place, and they serve the best Chicken and Brocolli.

Carl's Jr. over In and Out, Pip? Brave call.

 

[3 Da Hard Way]

Ugghh of course i run into this thread when im starving and nothing here to eat. But isn't Carl Jr's and Hardees the same thing? I know Ohio has a hardees, Just haven't seen one forever

 

[PIP]

Carl's Jr. over In and Out, Pip? Brave call.

In and Out just doesn't have the GUAC

You know how us West Coasters are...

 

[Man Called X]

Carl's Jr. is Hardees in Ohio. I thought that was common knowledge, but I believe that guacamole burger is a regional thing. As I'm sure I haven't seen it around here.

Haha. Why Normandy?

I love me some Chicago dogs:

And as a huge Phil Savage fan, I do in fact root for Buffalo...wings that is. Wing Stop is my favorite place for Buffalo Wings and seasoned fries. They don't have em in Florida but I used to get them in Dallas like once a week.

Love Kimchi myself. there is a korean place around the corner from me that I go to at lunch sometimes. My boss is Korean (lives in cali) and I am Jewish (work from home)....we joke all the time because I often eat Korean and he eats Matzo Ball soup for lunch every day....Little cultural exchange.

But, by far my favorite food type is chineese. Mexican comes in second though.

 

[MattyJames]

Well, I am White (Born and raised in Tampa, Fla) and my wife is Korean (Born and raised in Seoul) and we both are appalled by most asian foods. Hahaha

We are a household of mexican food lovers. Even my 6 year old son puts Peppers or hot sauce on everything he eats. lol The spicier the better too!!! I bet we eat mexican a MINIMUM of twice a week. I lived in El Paso, TX for about 5 years on the border of Juarez, Mexico and that's where i think that i got hooked on it. It's horrible because I have gotten so accustomed to eating it, I can hardly enjoy something as simple as waffles without wrapping them in a tortilla and putting hot sauce on them.

 

[Rick Astley]

Almost all American (big ass burgers, spicy chicken wings, WTFBBQ, buffalo wings:drool, Chinese and Filipino foods (no not cats and dogs lulz). I'd reconsider some Indian foods especially chicken curry.

But how could I forget ITALIAN FOODS?!?!?! It's the best there is....
