I think I would pick Japanese. There’s just so much variety I find and I already eat mostly Asian food as it is.

    French. My life would indubitably be shorter from all the cheese and wine and butter, but I’d go out on a high note.

    Yep japanese is a good shout. It’s not my favourite but it’s probably best pick if its the only thing you can eat.

    It’s that or something stupidly broad like ‘Mediterranean’ lol.

    Is saying “Indian” cheating since there’s so many Indian culinary traditions?

    Either American or Mexican.

    American because I really, really like eggs and hashbrowns and don’t want to lose them. And my comfort foods are, unsurprisingly, all American so I’d want to maintain access to those. I like other foods, but comfort foods are set in childhood, so…

    Or I would choose Mexican because the ingredients are largely native to the area. Grocery prices are kinda stupid, so local ingredients help keep the cost down.

    I’d maybe cheat and say UK, seeing as they appropriated so many other cultures’ foods. Although I could probably live on tikka massala alone.

        There’s a thing that said that things like enchilladas (the ones open at both ends) and pigs in blankets are actually sushi. The Cube Rule, things are defined by how many sides have carbohydrates. Pizza is a type of toast, Victoria sponge cake is a type of sandwich, a hot dog is a type of taco, etc.

              Biscuits are the ones that are twice baked. That’s literally what the word means, a biscuit is first baked, then dried. Long shelf cookies are in fact a type of biscuit (as well as being a cookie). Soft fresh cookies are not biscuits.

              Incidentally the American dinner ones are not biscuits. They’re only cooked once. They’re more like a savoury scone.

    i would most likely choose italian, mainly because of pizza and pasta. depending on if it counts, alternatively i would choose german because we stole a lot of dishes from all over the globe.

        So first there’s one of my personal faves, molokhiya soup (or just molokhiya). We shred molokhiya leaves, heat them in broth, add fried garlic and voila. Literally the best.

        There’s also koshari, which is also the best.

        Egyptian cooking is pretty unique in general so there are tons of examples of Egyptian that’s not really popular anywhere else, but the big ones are these two and mahshi.
