What do you think is the top cuisine in the world?

[IronWing]

Well Taiwan and China are distinct cultures right?

This question will lead to much misery.

 

[dasherHampton]

Hard, hard choice.

If I had to pick one I'd pick Italian.

 

[IronWing]

I ate at Olive Garden last week. Italian is off the list.

Politically, cuisine wise Taiwanese food is a branch of Chinese food. After all Chinese people moved to the island a few centuries ago.

Italian, as in made in Italy. lol

Every time I visit I cannot wait to stuff myself.

That is American food... Bad American food at that

Yes but aren't there native Taiwanese people there as well?

Aboriginals have lived there for thousands of years.

Sorry I meant to say Spam with Kimchi over fried rice.

They no longer even offer an antipasto. I only agreed to go there because I thought, "I can always get the antipasto."

There is a thought, Korean style Chop Suey with Spam and Kimchi.

Sorry - Olive Garden licks balls.

Comparing that to real Italian food is akin to comparing Red Lobster to a real, local New England seafood joint.

Speaking of which - my OG and RL gift card stash is piling up. I think I have around $400 in OG GC and $300 in RL GC.

What should I do????

Regift to management you hate

 

[dasherHampton]

I have considered re-gifting. Somehow I just can't do it.

I always feel like they'll come in handy some day.

True. When the zombie apocalypse is upon us, you'll be the guy with the nasty tasty bread sticks and hush puppies to see you through.

 

[dasherHampton]

YES! I knew I was holding them for a reason.

 

[whm1974]

Here is a thought: Drain some spicy Kimchi and frying it with some good sausage and mushrooms. Sound good anyone?

 

[BurnItDwn]

Hww ... good fusions ....
Any/All Vegetarian dishes + Add Andouille sausage = WOW MARVELOUS

 

[Fritzo]

Asian/Indian food has been the top trend for the last few years. Korean and Vietnamese food is especially making a splash. Pho restaurants are popping up everywhere.

 

[zinfamous]

I think Chop Suey is a good frugal way to use left over food that is still good

that is how pizza came into being.

and bruschetta
and panzanella
and papa al pomodoro

 

[zinfamous]

That is correct. Fusion - to take take two perfectly good foods, bring them together, and wreck both.

fusion cuisine is no different than fusion as an energy source: an impossible dream that leaves nothing but shattered dreams and wrecked lives in its wake.

This is the the type of question that leads to forums like P&N.

 

[dasherHampton]

A Latin friend of mine told me once that Tapas are plates of snacks that bar chefs would prepare using left over food.

Back then, if you were sitting outside, the waitress would bring it to you and you'd set the little plate on your beer to keep the flies out, sort of as a "top".

I guess they've evolved a little since then.
