What is the best type of food/cuisine (i.e.,

[gsyed]

American, Chinese, Indian, Thai, Mediterranean, etc)?

[lion heart]

Mediterranean tends to have the most flavors of them all. I would like to think that it has more fresh vegetables in it. It also has the largest variety of them all: Italian, Greek, France, Persian etc.So I would vote for it.

Why limit yourself? I have the good fortune to live in a city where all of these cuisines is well-represented among our restaurants. I pick whichever one fits my mood at the time. American: filling, simple, can often be eaten with hands, usually family-friendly fareChinese: share dishes, can range from bland to quite spicy, excellent starchy rice and noodle dishes, restaurants can accomodate large partiesIndian: sauces are subtle with very unusual flavors, tends to be heavier than other cuisines, order a thali if you want little tastes of lots of different foodsThai: usually lighter than Chinese, with subtly different ingredients (e.g. lemongrass), excellent beef dishesMediterranean: food tends to be blander but long on unusual ingredients (e.g. chickpea flour), most dishes are eaten with your hands, excellent for a family meal. Many Meditteranean restaurants feature belly dancing and live music for a full dining experience

How about eclectic cuisine? One that takes the best of several styles of cuisine and builds meals that are beyond imagination. Yum!I love ALL kinds of food and mix according to my mood as well. But I definitely have a soft spot for fusion...I enjoy variety and trying something new!
