I’ve tried and loved most of the cuisines listed, but the only one I regularly find myself _craving_ is Mexican (or Tex-Mex).

LOL my wife has asked my mother if our mail carrier back in 1970 happened to be Mexican…

Mexican for me, since my hubby is one. But it’s surprising how little he wants it.

I also like Thai and other Chinese food but I don’t want coconut in my food. Sorry, deal breaker.

I’m an Indian, and I thought about voting Indian because South Indian is non native to me and I always find myself craving a good plate of Idli-Vada the most, but I figured that would be cheating 🙂 So I marked down Italian/Italian American, but only because pizza is the most common non Indian food that I eat.
