people would praise mexican food much less if it's price point wasn't so good.

spoken like someone who has never been to Mexico only gets burritos and can't handle chiles

[Demosthenes]

real talk the only way for someone with a palate to survive in London is to ceaselessly wander from Indian to Paki to kebab joints

This is just a blatant attack and falsehood

[Xno Kappa]

Spanish Caribbean food > Mexican food by the way.

[Xno Kappa]

Moro de guandules con pernil is better than any Mexican dish possible.

[Xno Kappa]

I’ll still throw down some chicken enchiladas though.

A bowl of sancocho in the morning after a heavy night of drinking is like a real life 1UP.

My wife and her family call me a heartless and unapologetic carnivore. They can keep their refugee rice soup while I eat up some arroz con habichuela y pollo guisado.

Yeah, you heard me. Indian food is mostly bland and chock full of curry poweder/tumeric/blended onions. I like what it does to meat especially lamb (if it's a non vegan restaurant), but man most of it is just boring. Good naans are few and far between. They do make some great chutney and yogurt for dipping things in. Coconot rice is also A+.

Most Chinese takeaway in the US is shit. It's even worse in the UK.

[Gredival]

There is an expectation for Chinese food to be cheap and getting to those acceptable price points impacts quality. Nevermind that the same type of ingredients cooked in much blander ways can be priced higher if the place isn't Chinese (see steamed veggies at random places vs. veggie dishes at Chinese places).

We have to set the parameters for what makes a cuisine supreme. Are we talking restaurant fare or also stuff you can make at home? Price range? Most singularly delicious dishes or greatest variety of flavors?

Jamaica is an awful place and I have no interest in ever setting foot there again.

Most Chinese takeaway

Come on man.

I'm always in search of Gen Tso's that was like the kind in my tiny little podunk hometown. Dark Red Sauce, Extra crispy breading, shit is so hard to find, always orange lookin soggy mess these days smh

I've argued this several times among friends, but in terms of "You can only eat X food for the rest of your life, what do you pick" the answer has to be Japanese. Because the Japanese are master culinary thieves, there is a Japanese version for almost everything.
