Love Mexican and south American food, Creole, Southern, Cuban…plus the US has stolen foods from around the world, so I guess I get to keep pretty much eating whatever.
There’s also some Morocco, Spain and Portugal in there.
I mostly agree, on American Southern and Mexican alone.
D is tempting though, I love all Asian food. The variety from Middle Eastern, Indian, Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. I might have just convinced myself to go D while I was writing this actually…
Everyone in the Americas are immigrants other than Natives, all our food is from someone else’s culture, borrowed and mixed. So what’s the answer? You’re only allowed Native American food? Where’s the timeline cutoff for what constitutes foods in these regions?
I’m sorry, what? I pointed out the absurdity of trying to say what the food is of the region when, particularly in the US, everyone is an immigrant. So your response is everyone eats Paleolithic foods now? Your idea is to take my “absurd” question and double down on it? Why not have a reasonable discussion?
Agreed. However - my exposure to Asian foods has been mostly those foods popular in western culture like sashimi, restaurant Thai or Chinese, etc. There’a a lot of if that I haven’t been exposed to or eaten, and even though I think I’d probably like a lot of the new stuff, there’s plenty I think I could never get used to like still-kinda-living food on my plate, nattō, etc. So I opted for the biggest slice of multicultural food I could get.
Because most everyone is an immigrant? Where do you draw the line and call something native or not? Otherwise we’re eating nothing but succotash and whatever else the First People had. Is anyone saying you can’t have a hamburger in Thailand?

There is a community of Chinese immigrants that settled in Mexico as well. So some Asian cuisine can be included as well.
I’m not sure that’s the rules, in that case you can get anything from America.

Same with all of Europe and Asia. “You can only eat food from the original neolithic people”. See how stupid you sound.

Lots of people in this thread seem to be labouring under the bizarre notion that only the US is allowed to count immigrant cuisine as their own.

Obviously nobody is saying any of those things. The meaning should be obvious when read in context of the original post.
