Indian
I had an Indian roomate in college for a year so I got turned on to some of the food. Most of it is pretty good, but the aftermath of eating it makes me pretty apprehensive about getting it often.
My personal favorite is Chicken Tikka Masala

Perhaps....we have such a wide selection of dishes in the UK and many of them have been invented for us by the Resteraunts, the food never tires for me!!stenchasaurous wrote:Looked it up; looks good.

Indian food is the equivalent of Mexican food in the US, er had so many immigrants that the food caught on and now the best cuisine is actually in the States or England. If youre a good Indian chef you can make 30x more by moving to England

The wife loves Thai, ive always been into strong flavoured food, although French is really good!!Big_Billa wrote:I agree it is the same type of thing that happened in the states with mexican food...Indians better though
Ill take Mexican all day everyday, but Indian cuisine is very very diverse. Personally I like Thai the best.
As much as I hate them, I think the French have the best food. Anyone that says Italian has clearly never had good french food before.The wife loves Thai, ive always been into strong flavoured food, although French is really good!!

I'm a food person so I appreciate Italian food aswell, but most people tend to automatically link french food with snails and frogs legs as a slur and disregard the cuisine...The chicken Casserole and Braised Lamb dishes I eat are beyond delicious!!Big_Billa wrote:As much as I hate them, I think the French have the best food.

Yeah I hear you on that, the high end French stuff is what most people think but its not exactly Real French. Real French Cuisine is like what you mention and its cooking at its best, taking "peasant" food and making it delicious. They have perfected meals over centuries where as the Italians took Pasta from the Chinese and got tomatoes from South America relatively recently. Traditional Italian food like the stuff you get in Venetia isnt anything to brag about.I'm a food person so I appreciate Italian food aswell, but most people tend to automatically link french food with snails and frogs legs as a slur and disregard the cuisine...The chicken Casserole and Braised Lamb dishes I eat are beyond delicious!!
Im just glad your country (and Ireland) have come leaps and bounds in the last two decades or so. The first time I went to England I think most of us lost 5-10 pounds because the food was shit . Theres something about British beef that just makes it taste weird to us from most other parts of the world. Your pork products and lamb are all out of this world though.

BK as in Burger King? My brothers and I actually ate McDonalds quite a bit when we went over to visit family back in the way early 90's. The last couple of times Ive been over (I was also in London) I had no problems what so ever finding good food.

Food has certainly come on, but unfortunately we dont really cook traditional dishes in our Restaurants, so what people get is our own chefs cooking other countries dishes or variations on them!!Big_Billa wrote:BK as in Burger King?

Just an fyi, the French learned their culinary principles from the Italians.
