Indian. There’s such variety in Indian food. Savory, sweet, spicy… I love Indian food. My husband would probably have chosen French because he’s a French Chef, and I wouldn’t necessarily have a problem with that, but I’d rather eat Indian for a year. But Mexican would be good. Yum…
Another for Indian. At a push North Indian, but as I can take the whole subcontinent, I am going with that.
The range is so broad, I’d never get bored. And I could even be healthy if I wanted; Indian food is one of the few cuisines I don’t feel like I am missing anything when I eat vegetarian. And I’d be regular with all the lentils.
Italian food is much more varied than most Americans think – it’s not just endless bowls of pasta with tomato sauce or pizza. In the region where my family is from, they traditionally eat polenta, game in light sauces, prosciutto, garden vegetables, mushrooms, and rice much more than they do pasta. It’s all very flavorful and as light or as heavy as you wish. I once ate a 7-course Christmas dinner with my family over the span of 4 hours and left the table sated but not at all stuffed, because all of the affair was light.
So of course I voted for Italian. 
Interesting question. I guess maybe it is. But I see a lot of influnce from France, England, Portugal, Italy, Africa, Mexico, and China. And for that matter, Canada.
Hey, that’s why I haven’t picked yet. I wondered “what Chinese food is breakfast food?”
I started an entire thread about that very subject.
A common India breakfast food is thin pancakes with a very liquid vegetable curry. Provides an excellent start - I had that a lot in Bangalore. I was staying in business hotels, so there were always Western options, but there didn’t seem to be any lack of Indian breakfast foods, with the national sweet tooth also being prevalent.
What ethnicity is fried chicken? 
Whatever it is, that’s my answer.
Assuming “Italian” can encompass any kind of pasta as long as the sauce/toppings are POSSIBLE in Italy, I went with it, since I’m already halfway there anyway.
I chose Mexican because I practically live on the border and that is probably half of what I eat anyways.
But after reading tdn’s post 25 I want to switch to American.
I picked Thai partly **because **of the breakfast - a choice of lunch/dinner food for breakfast, or savory rice porridge.
Greek food. Feta cheese, greek salad, gyros, roasted goat and potatoes, grilled octopus, spanakopita, koulourakia & kourabiedes (but denser, like my grandma’s family makes them), lemon and garlic and fried cod like you get at a bakaliarakia and skordalia and. . .mmm. I’d miss cheddar and chicken noodle soup, but that’s about it.
Japanese, without a doubt. I’d eat sashimi until I couldn’t stand it anymore, then after that month or so :D, I’d switch to rice- and noodle-based dishes until I was ready for sashimi again.
Chinese - I’ve lived almost completely off stir fry and cereal (not at the same time) for months on end once, anyway, so it wouldn’t be that different.
I eat American food probably 300 days of the year, so an extra couple of days would be easy.
This.
We spent two weeks in Italy. I’ve never had better food. I’d choose Italian if I could live in Italy and eat there. The cheeses, bread, hams, fifty different pizzas by the etto, and light as air sauces alone would be worth it.
Otherwise I’m tempted to vote Russian. I grew up in a Russian speaking area and loved the food there. The lavash, the sausage, the eggplant dips, the picked everything, the piroshki, the soups, the mushrooms, the chocolate covered everything – yeah that would be wonderful.
I said Indian, but could be very happy with most of these. The “basics” qualifier on American sadly knocks that out; an unqualified Southern/American would be a top contender.
For sure. I think that’s pretty much true of all the international options.
Peruvian, there ain’t nuthin’ better.
Me, too. And not just because one of my friends is the chef at my favorite Greek restaurant.
I don’t know much about Peruvian. Do you have some recommended dishes I could try out?
