Poll: Favorite Cuisine(s)

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.
