At the moment, for me, they are probably
Japanese
Vietnamese and
Thai
I am not keen on Mexican except for some dips like guacamole.

British, particularly game.
Kashmiri (Pakistan)
French

Not fond of fast food

Not including British, because the OP did say 'not local', so I'm going to go with:
Turkish/Greek (because they are very similar)
Chinese
Italian

JamesandJon33 Sun 28-Sept-25 16:32:25

Italian
Greek
Indian

Indian
Thai

Not Chinese.

I didn’t include Australian either because it tends to take stuff from everywhere and is a bit hard to define - prawn on the barby, barramundi, Pav perhaps ? I can’t stand kangaroo meat and neither can my cats. I wasn’t sure how to say what I meant but most people seem to have worked it out anyway.

Greek as well
And goulash (Croatian style)

You can't beat fresh barramundi, *nanna8!
Followed by pavlova.

Italian - really good delis and restaurants here

German - hearty stews and decent bread

Scandi - super fresh, simple, lots of fish and seafood

I don’t like the taste of miso so Japanese is challenging for me.

I dont like spices so definitely not Indian.
I dont like processed meat so no burgers, sausages or kebab type stuff either!
I’d choose Italian or Chinese probably.

I am also a grand fan of Greek Mezze .. and of course, Spanish Tapas ..

Also - you can’t beat British desserts.

icanhandthemback Mon 29-Sept-25 13:53:13

Indian, Japanese and Chinese. However, I like most foods as long as they are not too spicy or contain coriander. The latter is the devil's herb to me.

Marmin Mon 29-Sept-25 14:01:57

Greek, middle east.
As a vegetarian for most of my life, French is the worst by a long way.

Delene100 Mon 29-Sept-25 14:11:59

Caribbean, Indian, Thai

Never liked Chinese food find it a bit oily.

Yes, my top three too.

I do like British pub food but it tends to be the sort of food that I cook at home anyway, so not on my list.

French
Italian

Anything and everything my beautiful Indonesian dil cooks, she really is the most amazing, adventurous cook and makes wonderful food. Can’t wait for January when I go to visit again! Earlier this year when I was there she was experimenting with Korean dishes, excellent!
