After reading all these delectable answers I'm getting kind of hungry. In fact, my stomach is rumbling now.
Well, I'm American so I pretty much have the world at my doorstep in the food department. When I visit the city I always hit an Indian buffet. I just love the spicy curries, chutneys and wide varietys of tastes and textures. They know how to cook their veggies. I would eat more of it were it not so hard to prepare at home. I'd go broke eating out all the time. I think Italian food is somewhat over rated in this country. I mean, how many times can you eat noodles and pizza without getting bored....and fat. No one ever mentions Greek, Russian, Middle Eastern and such. Or what about Polynesian? They have a distinct stlye.
But I have a hard time answering this pole because I pretty much like everything, as long as it doesn't have dead animals floating around in it.
Speaking of, there was a story on the news the other day about a lady who bought a dead duck to cook for dinner. Well, the carcass was in her fridge for two days. When she finally got around to retrieving the duck out of her fridge, the poor little guy lifted up his head and looked at her! He wasn't dead afterall. Of course, she was shocked and couldn't bring herself to kill the little duck herself. Now the duck is at a wildlife rehabilitation sanctuary trying to recover. But he'll never be the same. Someone had shot him, and the two days in the fridge did some damage. He'll be living out the rest of his days at the sanctuary, free from stray bullets and frying pans. Hope I didn't wander too far off topic there
It is on food, though. Right?
I love French food because it always incorporates FRESH ingredients with inclusion of herbs. Nothing canned for the French. It also gives me a good excuse to drink wine. Same thing goes for Greek. Ah, falafel...
Anyway, if I really HAD to choose, I'd look at it from the standpoint of: could I eat this every day for the rest of my life? In that case, I'd go with Mexican. It's healthy, it's filling, it's spicy (if you want it to be), it's easy to cook, it's cheap, and it goes very well with my favorite beverages - beer and tequila.
Great poll, by the way.
Oh, I forgot to answer the second part of this pole. Which is healthiest? I think it depends on the how the food is prepared. The healthiest source can be turned into poison when cooked in canola oil, for example. There is no such thing a "canola" seed. Canola just stands for, "Canadian Oil." It's a made up name to describe a genetically modified seed otherwise known as "rapseed." This toxic oil is also used for industrial purposes. Funny - they've been trying to push this non-food off on the American public as somehow healthy. Stick with olive oil, I say.
