(Food) What cuisine doesn't work for you?

Mediterranean food, specifically Greek. It's light and refreshing, but damn is it bland. Yogurt, olive oil and onion. Meh....

 

Thai food sucks.

A lot of Western European food is meh.

 

Same here. I need spice.

 

Same here, assuming by "spicy" you mean "heat". This is me with about any food, but I do make exceptions. Like I'll eat some TexMex even though I don't really think it's all that. Mediterranean is weird to me because I like it even though most of the other stuff I eat is spicy. But when I eat stuff like moussaka, I always find myself saying "boy, if this had some heat to it, it would be great".

For me, the 2 or 3 times I tried sushi, I always leave saying "I don't get it". It's not repulsive or anything, and I don't hate it, but more like "whatever" to me.

 

I love Thai food, but to me, it always seems kind of like Indian food with some sweetness thrown in. I would rather have Indian food, but Thai is cool. I love Thai, Indian, Jamaican, Sichuan, Casian/Viet Cajun, etc. foods... bring the heat and flavor.

 

Damn, and here this whole time I've been thinking yall were men of wealth and taste. It's ok to be wrong though. Brutally, painfully, completely wrong.

The correct answer is Scandinavian food. Worthless stuff.

 

Bland creamy crap, usually with dill thrown in. Lemon is considered a strong spice.

 

British style salt and vinegar fries are pretty damn tasty.

But yeah, I prefer "More Spice" or "Bold" Tony Chachere's myself.

 

I love Thai food, and Indian food…gotta make it spicy too so all those flavors doing Bruce Lee kicks in my mouth

that butter chicken is calling my name…might need to hit up Aga’s restaurant

Nigerian or African food: I love me some jollof rice and plantain

when it comes to Mediterranean food, I like kabobs, but that’s about it…All that other stuff like hummus and cold quinoa salads?



not a big Texmex guy or soup guy

get that mushroom soup outta my face

 

LOL…I tried to go against the grain and try this mushroom soup a few weeks ago, and it was instant regret after the 1st bite

 

I don't think I've ever had anything Scandinavian, but I'd probably try it. But I have to admit everything I've seen makes me think there's not a chance in hell I'd enjoy it. Most of the stuff looks like food that's been left outside to cook using daylight alone. But I'm willing to be convinced otherwise. *shrug* It's even sadder because I love seafood. But when you start seeing stuff like lutefisk and surstromming, you start to hope there are alternatives.

Sounds like the old "I ain't got time to really cook anything fancy" cream of mushroom chicken. I actually bought some cream of mushroom soup to try and make it one day, but still haven't. lol.

 

This is starting to turn into a "what foods do you like" thread instead, but .... jollof rice is pretty good. I swear every culture around the equator bangs out some kind of great plantain recipe whether it's as a main course, dessert, or as a snack. lol.

 

I just looked up Scandinavian food because I’m not sure what qualifies under that category, and based off what I’m seeing so far










that does not look exciting or appealing

 

can never go wrong with some plantain

for more foods I don’t like: sushi, and when I’ve been to the UK, English cuisine can be pretty bland and boring
