Favourite food regions

[Lee909]

So what's everyone's favourite regions for food?. 

 

Going through my cookbooks tonight. Wondering if you were limited to only eating food from a couple of regions what regions would they be. 

 

Been looking through alot of books and programmes with Sean Brock covering the American South. 

 

Love the flavours of North Africa and Arab states, Israel and Palastine.

I love Greek and Turkish food as well as Italian the best probably. 

[Jairzinho]

Indian and Italian if I had to pick two. Middle Eastern food is ace as well though.

 

A few of the dishes here, that I'd never had in the UK before, are really nice. Especially Flamenquin, and Spinach with Chickpeas.

Region of pork.

Pushed to choose two regions, I'd probably pick the Med and the Far/South East Asia. Some amazing flavours to be had.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Greek.

I wasn't wearing my glasses a minute ago and I thought it said Favorite Food Regimes.

 

 

Can I have 90's Rwanda for 200 Alex?

Anyone watch remarkable places to eat on BBC2? It was Marrakesh tonight, looked absolutely badass.

Got a lot of love for Algarvian food. Recommend a Cataplana If you ever go. Small fish on coals like sardines & Carapau, and cold beer, you can’t beat it.

Fuck knows what people eat when they come on holiday here.

Always loved Indian and Greek foods but now I'm really enjoying learning about the cuisine of Vietnam. The combination of textures and flavors is stunning but the freshness of the food is so different to Western foods.

Plus it's incredibly cheap!

Really depends on my mood. For years I'd have Chinese food out in-front but Italian probably beats it now. I do like really hearty French food. Indians are superb obviously. 

 

We probably never really class it as regional food but a big fuck off American burger or hot-dog will do.

Chinese wet markets.

Italian. Good, homemade British food is boss, too.

I love Italian and Thai mainly.

[sh#t waffle]

Japanese or Italian.

[VladimirIlyich]

Bit of a food Philistine to be honest. I don't really know enough about different foods to say. Love rice,pasta,chicken and smoky flavoured meats like chorizo and similar. Don't like stodgy savoury stuff that has become UK tradition though. If I never had another roast in my life I wouldn't miss it. We do great desserts in the UK. Trifle,apple crumble/pie and custard,home made rice pudding,spotted dick,jam roly poly.

[YorkshireRed]

Not necessarily my absolute favourite but adding as all the usual suspects will be taken.

 

I’ve tried Georgian food a few times and it’s always been really nice. Fairly simple cuisine but full of flavour and the bread they give you when eaten in restaurants is lovely.

Probably an obvious thing to say but I hate curry here but in India it was sensational. I also really enjoyed Vietnamese food particularly in the North.

Italian and Thai - both suitable for mostly vegetable based diets to suit us.

 

Plenty of vegetables, rich sauces, fresh fish, cured meats, pizza and pasta from Italy. Our tatty old, traditional Italian pasta sauce cookbook is the most used in our house and making use of fresh produce from the garden (tomatoes, spinach, onions, garlic, basil, broccoli, etc) enhances that. Plus, wine and grappa!

 

I love the diversity and freshness of good Thai food and the mix of flavours - still honing my skills with that cuisine but always my first choice if we're going out.

I like Italian but it's just a bit boring at times, isn't it? Best has to be Indian style. So much flavour and texture in all types of Indian foods. Goat curry is lovely and Naan bread is the best in the world.

I guess anything can be boring after a while. Italy has such variety and so much if it is based on fresh, quality ingredients that I find plenty to keep it interesting. Even just pasta - we have this well this well thumbed book of 100+ sauce recipes and we've tried about 20 of them! Admittedly that's partly because my wife is pescetarian so that rules out the meat based recipes.
