    Indian hands down. The quality you get from Indian places and take always is generally very good and the prices are reasonable for what you get.

    Used to love Chinese but the fare in recent years is disappointing and poor. Good Chinese eateries are are hard to find now.

    After Indian, Italian. So much variety so there really is something to suit everyone’s taste.

    I saw this on BBC Scotland comedy show last night.

    You do the edit later on and change to the question to "who are you most racist against?" and watch what happens next.

    The issue with Chinese is that many places serve deep fried food that has very little in common with actual Chinese.
    But the good thing is, it's easy to learn cooking half decent Chinese food yourself and the ingredients are easy enough to source.

    I love curries and most spicy food. Indian would be my first choice, then Mexican, then Italian. I also make a lot of American classics because Le Chap is an Americulchie and loves his stodge.

    Authentic greek is ****ing amazing

    A lot of these foods will depend on where you are having them. Like iv had pizza in italy that is unmatched by any pizza iv had here. Just like a lot of mexican food is actually "tex mex" rather than authentic mexican

    Hear this ****e all the time. A weak attempt to appear sophisticated .Have been to italy countless times and i think some of the pizzas I've had here in bars have been better than anything I've had there.la tana in Cork does a better pizza than anything ive had in italy. I'm shocked by some of the low standard food I've gotten in italy. To get a really fantastic meal you have to pay top money.maybe it's because their ingredients are of a lower quality to ours.

    Even our breakfast and Sunday dinners etc are pretty much carbon copy of the Brits with minor differences. It's funny how France and Italy has so many culinary classics that were peasant staples but we have feck all.

    Like tripe and drisheen?

    I'd normally say Indian but when pushed I'd really say Chinese.

    And when I say Chinese, I mean our Chinese. I don't care how many blowhard ***** have backpacked around or lived in Asia. These threads are like moths to those **** flames.

    For me it's a tossup between Ethiopian or Vietnamese with Indian, Ecuadorian, and Spanish also pushing close to them.

    Ethiopian food is incredible and unique.
    A bit platter of Injera served with fit fit, shiro, doro wat, tibsi, zigni, and some veggies and greens washed down with a big glass of Tej and finished with some good fresh roasted coffee is one of life's great pleasures.

    My sentiments entirely.

    I love my own cuisine these days.

    1) Lebanese (which isn't on the list, and I guess Syrian is probably similar)
    2) Indian.

    Nothing else comes close IMO. Though I don't think I've tasted Ethiopian.

    Now what about countries with terrible food?
    I can name a couple but I think I'll start a thread for it. :)

    Except I've never cooked it in my life, so not me, guv. :)

    TBF I've eaten well at restaurants in Poland, but I just don't like their everyday cooking, a lot of cold meat and stodgy stuff, and not much in the way of vegetables. But like I say, it's not a question of fault, I think it's really to do with climate - it's not surprising South Asia has fabulous food, with all the fruit and veg that grows there, and spices too.

    I thought the same.I lived in Korea for 10 years,been back in Ireland about 5 years now and am always on the lookout for a good Korean restaurant. Theres some half way decent ones in Dublin but nothing special.Ive taken to importing some staple ingredients and giving it a go myself (i never once cooked in Korea!) very mixed results so far!

    Agree! Korean should be an option in the poll. Wonderfully varied cuisine.
    Lived there ten years too and back 7. Really miss the food. We buy kimchi, gochujang etc in Korean shop. Also recently discovered Brothers Dosirak on Capel street, it’s good! Some of the older places have disimproved and are expensive.

    Ha, if you were Irish and in Seoul we probably know each other!

    I have gochujang and kimchi brought over from London. It's tinned kimchi which isn't great as a side dish but worked well in some bokimbap.
    Have tried most of the places in Dublin at some stage ( I live in the west) others in the UK, US etc.Ive still never found good galbi outside of Korea.
