Chinese, ever since I enjoyed my first ever Chinese meal in my first year at college when we visited a restaurant in Edgbaston.

Italian but never spaghetti if in company!

Thai for its subtle flavours.

Sago

British, lots of wonderful casseroles, pies, fish and chips and of course roasts.
Mediterranean, soups, risotto, pates, salads, pastas etc.
Indian, I love all homemade curries, dhals, pakora, bhajis, dips and chutneys.

Yom Yom Yom! Me too

I like anything, as long as cucumber, shellfish or raw fish are not involved. My favourites are Indian, Italian, or Middle Eastern. I’m not keen on Japanese food because it often contains my disliked ingredients.

At the moment it’s
Indian
Italian

But I’m very fickle, so that can change in a heartbeat. I just love good food, wherever it originates.

English and Indian only, just about OK with Italian!

I can't abide Chinese or any Oriental, and things like Mexican, etc., are far too hot and spicy for me!

Also, I can't abide Mediterranean, Greek and so on, it's oily, greasy and thick!

I'm half and half with Polish, can take it either way.

I find Chinese food to be greasy and tasteless. The MSG gives me a terrible migraine.

Thai
Greek/Middle Eastern, they have some things in common
British when top quality

I’m not keen on sushi. But the Gdcs love it, so that can be a v quick way to feed them when we’ve been out. Not cheap though!
