What's Really Important in a Country...

[indy007]

Hard to beat the seafood in Italy... however, I'll take a southern meal anyday. I could very happily live on a diet of fried chicken, cornbread (with honey butter), mashed potatos & gravy, and collard greens & rice.... with a side of brisket... thank god I don't gain weight.

Beet,
I've done one better, I married an Italian...she is from outside of Naples, so, you see, I have to say that!! hehe.  Although, I still think Italian is the best.

As for pizza, I think any pizza shopped owned by an Italian will be the best pizza.  When we lived in Boston, there we're plenty of pizza shops.  We've got some good friends that are from Greece that own a pizza shop there, but they just don't do pizza as well as Italians, IMHO.

Curv,
I absolutely think Thai food is awesome!  That would be my favorite Asian food.

What about Curry, Curv?  You thoughts on that.  I like curry, but I'll still go with Thai.

I like curry, but the stuff I had in India was HOT!!!!  If it is too hot I just can't enjoy it.

Best curry I ever had was in England.  lol

My fave food is Tai..

I don't know wich country got the best food I'm only sure to not have tasted all French cheeses and wines at the age of 35 ... and I'm doing my best !

I think we win for the diversity of meal availlable.

You jammy git! Napoli, eh? I like the pizza places where they actually roll out the dough, instead of using stuff in packets.

I like seafood - those places along the Cote d'Azur in France eg. Cannes are excellent but pricey. I like those cabinets they use with shell fish on ice and a load of chopped lemons thrown in. Can't go there without having one of those seafood platters. Italy and Spain are great too.

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

^^^^^

for me I'd go with Italian and Greek foods as my favourite:)

Italian rates a close second.

I say this with a nod to my grandparents from Calabria.

The country with the best native food?  

Italy.  Definitely Italy above all others.  Not only is it true, but my ancestors would haunt me were I to say otherwise!

However,  I have to say that a traditional American Farm breakfast (and the smell of morning coffee) is simply the best there is.   And, there must always be a place of honor for really good barbeque amongst any list of the best foods around...

Great...now I'm starving.
