I chose French cuisine as my favorite. I have only had French food three times in my life, but in each case, they were over the top delicious.
Duck a l'orange, Veal Prince Orloff and Shrimp Berra Terria were the dishes, I remember them so well. The veal dish I ordered strictly because they featured it on an episode of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show"! As soon as I saw it on the menu I freaked! I wasn't expecting such verisimilitude from a 70s sitcom. Of course, it had to be Mary!
But I had no idea the dish was going to be soooo delicious. I should have known Betty White would never steer me wrong. lol
The Julia Child cookbook has a recipe for it, calling for turkey medallions, in place of the veal. I made this dish exactly two times in my life. Oh, my gosh, was it good! And never again will I think to attempt it. Both times, it took something like six months to make.
After that, it would be Thai and the take out I get that passes for Chinese cuisine. The Chinese food I eat just doesn't seem super authentic to me. Who can say? I also like Indian food a lot, too, though, other than fast food in general (which I do like, and I would be a liar to deny it), I would be hard pressed to come up with an example of American cuisine. Hot dogs? Chicken noodle soup? Ho Hos and Ding Dongs?
The only thing I hardly ever get at a Mexican restaurant are the fajitas and the free chips. I can't stand the Mole sauce, so much cheese is unappealing, guacamole is just wasted fat intake and refried beans are downright disgusting. I know I am limited in my point of view, but for me the adventurous spirit begins its decline when the hostess is wearing castanets.
I think Italian food is over-rated.
