I love food. Really love it. Love trying new things, and love going back to old favourites.
Some favourites:
German food. Things like pork knuckles, dumplings, Jaeger schnitzel, Goulash soup, liver dumpling soup. Some of the greatest food to eat on a cold winter's day. Goes very well with a good German wheat beer.
French food. Its complexity and delicacy make it as much a work of art as a meal. Makes for a supreme dining experience when you want to admire as well as savour. And it is a great excuse to drink French wines :) Then, simpler fare such as grilled trout. Some of the best fish and chips that I have ever had was on the bonnet of a car from a roadside vendor in the south of France.
American food. Americans make some amazing food. Chili. Southern style barbecue. Cajun food. When I have people over for a barbecue at home, this is what I will often make. It shows that barbecuing is not just about burning meat to a crisp over hot flames.
Italian food. A great food when you want something simple but amazingly tasty. I prefer pizzas and pastas to mains.
Greek food. Fried haloumi, barbecued seafood, dips. Amazing stuff.
Middle Eastern. Again, full of flavour and the sort of food you just want to eat with a whole bunch of people in a very casual and comfortable setting.
Thai food. Spicy and complex flavours.
Korean BBQ.
Indian food. Such a huge range of flavours (unfortunately we mainly see a small portion of that in most Indian restaurants).
There are so many great foods. Unfortunately, there are so many bad restaurants.
