What's Really Important in a Country...

[midnight Target]

FOOD!

And which Country in the World has the best native food?

Easy call.........

Mexico.

Mexico?

Pffft...no thanks.

If you are going PURELY on food I give the nod to France, followed by Italy.

Authenic Mexican food is certainly hard to beat whn you are in the mood.

Only thing is , in Mexico to get authenic Mexican food most wouldn`t feel to comfortable in the places you could get it and wouldn`t really want to know what was in it.
It`s sort of funny to me that the tourist trap locations in Mexico rarely serve authenic Mexican food. They go with the Tex/Mex version. Certainly not knocking it, because I love it.
To get authenic Mexican food in Mexico you usualy have to take the off beat path. Just don`t drink the water.

Food taste is strictly ruled by ones opinion.  That said, I love it all except fast food. If I HAVE to do fast food, I'll do Subway when I'm desperate.

Well, its a tough call.  Italian is awesome, don't get me wrong.

You've been all over the world String, what about the Far East?  I've never been there, so I cannot comment on it (see Jackal...very easy admission to make.   )

Curv, that was so good, I'll let you off the cost of a new keyboard!

Mexican food is great, but I think the quality is improved in the United States.

Stringer - as you've obviously been to Italy, what do you think of what America has done to pizza?

Hmmm.  To date, the best food/meal I have ever had was breakfast on the farm.  I dunno what it was, but it was and is the best dang meal ever created.  Homemade biscuits/bread/pancakes, fresh bacon, white gravy, eggs, homemade preserves, hash browns...damn,...I need to go pay a visit this weekend.

Other than that, Italy

 I got to agree. Been a long time for me. Was nothing like the smell of breakfast cooking. What I remeber best about those times for me was my grandmother would be up and in the kitchen by 5:00 A.M.. Cooking was her thing. First thing that would hit you was the smell of the coffee brewing. Coffee was brewed in a heavy coffee pot on the stove. After that , the smell of the breakfast would reach out and grab ya and drag you to the table like a magnet. great food.

damn,...I need to go pay a visit this weekend.

Skuzz, your family? Where is it located?

[Skuzzy]

Near Taft, TX., on the Sinton side.  An Uncle and Aunt on Mom's side.  I lived and worked the farm every summer and school break I can remember when growing up.
