Favorite ethnic food

[skcin]

For the nitpickers:

1 - I know that pretty much all food could be considered "ethnic." But you know what I mean. I also know that "Chinese" food here in the U.S. is really not true Chinese food, it's been Americanized, same with Mexican - but again - you know what I mean.

2 - Yes, yes I do like to start threads about food. :p I love to eat. It's a damned miracle that I'm not more overweight.


Japanese food: I've yet to be disappointed. It's so light, and refreshing, yet extremely filling. I first tried sushi (maki - that's the roles, right?) 3 years ago & I've eaten it a couple times a month ever since. I finally tried nagiri (sp) sushi a few weeks ago- the slice of raw fish on top of the rice ball - and I didn't die. It was actually pretty good. Teriyaki chicken is great too, for those less adventurous.

Indian Food: I first had Indian food about 8 years ago at my old job - the doctor I worked with cooked us a feast one day so we could all try Indian food. Oh. My. God. :eek: Chicken curry, dal, potatoes & spinach, rice, naan bread, bread stuffed with cauliflower, everything so spicy, yet not "hot." I was in heaven. She asked me what I wanted for my farewell lunch when I quit - I picked her feast. :thumbsup:

Italian: Who doesn't like Italian food? (Actually, isn't there someone on this board who said they don't?) Granted, my fam is not Italian, so most of what I've had has been from local restaurants (NOT Olive Garden, jerks! :p ) I'm a sucker for any sort of pasta with shellfish in sauce. I prefer red sauce to white (too rich) but olive oil & garlic will do just fine. Vodka sauce is kickass too.

Thai: Pad Thai is like the Lo Mein of Thai food, so I like it but it's nothing special. Paw Kee Mao is excellent, very spicy - flat square noodles in a stew with shrimp, chicken, peppers, onions...YUM! And anything cooked panang (in coconut milk & spices) is delicious.

[amber]

Japanese, Ethiopian. Thai is okay. Mexican doesn't count as an ethnic food, but it's my favorite food of all foods. I wouldn't call Italian food an ethnic food, either, but you can if you want.

HEY! Nitpicker! Didn't you read my disclaimer about what is really ethnic? :laugh:

I had Ethiopian food once. Interesting. I liked the big pancake thing we scraped our food up with. There are NO Ethiopian restaurants in Buffalo, though, so I won't be having at again anytime soon.

I did not read your disclaimer. But it just seems like Italian food is so old here, that it's just food. I dunno. Carry on.

Nitpicking be damned. I love me some General Tso's chicken. :laugh: :nod:

Just don't eat one of those hot peppers accidentally! :eek:

[amber]

So, wait. Is anything that is not native american food ethnic food? Is polish and english and french food ethnic? Those are ethnicities. Russian food?
What about fast food? Are hamburgers German?

[Rickypt]

Definitely Ethiopian, but I always need more injera (sp?)/pancake.

Indian, but I always need more naan.

Vietnamese, crispy fried rolls, pronounced something like "Chai Yo"

[cliffdweller]

My fave ethnic food is probably either Indian or Middle Eastern--they are similar in some ways and very different on others. Anyway I could either every night!

Greek food is also good. That's definitely a close second. Yum!

I knew we were going to get into this! :lol: I was going to post a whole long thing, then didn't. Yes, Polish food is ethnic, so is Russian. Most things that didn't originate in the U.S., I would consider ethnic. I don't know if Elie would consider "American" food as ethnic, though. I'm confusing myself here....

And no, fast food isn't ethnic. Unless you count the Chinese buffet. ;) I mean, I wouldn't consider Taco Bell or Don Pablo's authentic Mexican food. :shrug:

But, what I mean is, when you say "let's go out for Italian tonight" or "I'm really in the mood for Thai food."

[cliffdweller]

What about fast food?

Oh yeah, definitely ethnic. I think that's of the "grease" ethnicity!

Maybe those others you mentioned can be classified as "foreign" but not ethnic? :shrug:.

[cliffdweller]

I mean, I wouldn't consider Taco Bell or Don Pablo's authentic Mexican food. :shrug:

Me neither, especially living in Austin. There's Tex-mex and there's authentic Mexican. I'm a fan of the former. Austin has some fabulous locally owned Tex-mex eateries. Man, this thread is making my stomach growl!

Hamburgers? Is it because they were invented in America? (if that is true). I say "I'm in the mood for Hamburgers!" all the time!
;)
Okay, so anything not invented in the U.S. ...You know, Romy says real Italians don't eat the same thing we think is Italian food. So, I guess it was invented here. Ah-HA! :laugh:

Ethnic just means any ethnicity, as far as I can tell. I think people have long used it to describe "non white", but maybe when the Irish first came they were ethnic, too? I better go to dictionary.com rigth now...

[cliffdweller]

I think people have long used it to describe "non white", but maybe when the Irish first came they were ethnic, too? I better go to dictionary.com rigth now...

Yeah, I think this is correct. Irish are considered ethnic, so are other people from other European countries. It's hard to think of the Brits as "ethnic" though :laugh:

But yeah, are white Americans considered ethnic in other countries? Hmmm, interesting...

[amber]

According to this, it can be pretty much any ethnic group. However, the third definition does say "non christian or jewish, heathen".

Of or relating to a sizable group of people sharing a common and distinctive racial, national, religious, linguistic, or cultural heritage.
Being a member of a particular ethnic group, especially belonging to a national group by heritage or culture but residing outside its national boundaries: ethnic Hungarians living in northern Serbia.

Of, relating to, or distinctive of members of such a group: ethnic restaurants; ethnic art.

Relating to a people not Christian or Jewish; heathen.

n.
A member of a particular ethnic group, especially one who maintains the language or customs of the group.

[cliffdweller]

Relating to a people not Christian or Jewish; heathen. [/B]

Well I'm a heathen. Does that make me ethnic? :laugh:

[chiliD]

I like just about ALL foods..."ethnic" depends on your point of view. Being from SoCal, Mexican food isn't considered "ethnic". But, if I were in Michigan, it probably would be.

I really liked Ukranian food when I was in a Ukranian section of southeastern British Columbia (& eastern Alberta) a quarter of a century ago...although my cholesterol levels couldn't handle eating too much of that food these days.

I really like the Indian/Pakistani food I have had...I haven't delved deep into the cuisine as much as I would like.

I like Greek food, too...gyros, souvlaki, patitsio, etc.


As Olive Garden isn't authentic Italian, the El Torito & Acapulco restaurant chains aren't authentic Mexican food, either.

But yeah, are white Americans considered ethnic in other countries? Hmmm, interesting...

"White Americans" are ancestors of people who CAME from other countries. When it is all said & done, the "American Caucasian" is not indigenous to the North American continent...they're ALL from European descent.

No, Amber, "hamburgers" are NOT German. There IS a German "Hamburg"-style steak which IS a ground steak patty...but it is not served between a bun with ketchup, mayo & lettuce. Hamburgers are an American invention; as are hot dogs, chop suey & pizza (the pizzas as we know them today, that is)

[cliffdweller]

You put ketchup on your burger? I don't know anyone who does that--it's either mustard or mayo :shrug:

Ha! I don't have a ketchup aversion, I like it on fries, but I don't think I've ever had it on a burger. Interesting...

I also like barbeque sauce on my burgers with cheddar cheese and grilled onions. Okay, I'm seriously getting hungry now.

I know, which was indicated in my later post. However, since there is a "hamburg" style ground steak patty in Germany (which I did not know), it seems safe to say that is where the idea came from? American italian food is an invention, too, as is american mexican food.

You've never had a regular McDonald's or Burger King burger? Both come standard with ketchup (mustard, onions & pickles). :shrug:

I substitute ketchup for the yucky raw tomato slice I fling away like a frisbee.


And, yeah, I also sometimes like teryaki sauce and a grilled pineapple ring on a burger, too. And, others, sauteed mushrooms and Swiss cheese. BBQ sauce is another of my fave options, too. I really like burgers of all types...just leave off the pickle, tomato & raw onions...grilled onions are ok, though.

And, most of what we know as Chinese food, too.

But, the placing of the ground beef patty between a bun and slathering it with condiments is STRICTLY American.

And, :sorry:...didn't see the later post. :shrug: :D

S'okay. :wavey:

Pineapples on anything salty is gross. I like guacamole on my burgers.

[DrummerDeanna]

aaaactually Mexican Food can be pretty darn authentic if you know where to go - and some of the best Mexican food ever can be found in Southern New Mexico and West Texas. California doesn't even do it up right...seriously. I'm partial to Mexican Food.

Sadly - outside of that and Chinese food - I've spent my life being so picky that I've never had much by way of ethnic food :\

I grew up putting ketchup on burgers; only started using mayo as an adult. :wavey:

[jannieC]

Yes, particularly on black bean burgers. Yum.

[ragandbone]

I like Greek and Middle Eastern food, especially if I can eat it while sitting on some pillows, drinking arabic tea.

[David]

Japanese food
Indian Food
Italian
Thai
I would go with three of your four, Paula, & substitute either Greek or Vietnamese for Thai. While I enjoy the flavors of Thai, the heat in the food just isn't good for my esophagitis & hiatal hernia.

So swap it out for Greek/Mediterranean or Vietnamese.

I like Greek food too! Hey, Elie - are souvlakis really Greek, or is that Americanized? How about Gyros? :shrug:

I'm assuming that the breakfast specials and Texas Hots (aka - slime dogs, **** canoes, hot dogs with meat sauce, whatever you want to refer to them as) that we can order at most Greek restaurants here are obviously American. :laugh:

[cliffdweller]

Yes, particularly on black bean burgers. Yum.

:nod: me too. Guac rules on most things. I also like jalapenos on my burgers with onions and tomatoes---talk about your heartburn! It's delish though.

Really? Maybe it's a Buffalo thing. We are the land of all things healthy, you know. :laugh:

It's a hot dog on a bun, topped with this hideous sauce (similar to a chili dog, but not a chili dog.) I don't even know what's in the sauce, it's brownish red, I think there's ground beef in there. Barf. I don't think I've ever actually eaten one, the smell is quite enough. Hubby loves them. :rolleyes:

[DrummerDeanna]

As far as I can tell calling hotdogs "hots" is a Rochester/Buffalo/Western New YOrk thing. When I first got here I was like, "What the hell are hots and ground rounds!?!"

And did you hear/read the story recently that Zweigles had to change the name of their Red Hots and White HOts in other parts of the country - no one was buying them because they thought they were spicy lol.

Hots. Just call them hotdogs!!! Stupid Rochester :mad:

;)

Ah, so is ground round strictly a dumb Rochester thing? They're hamburgers. I refuse to eat at a place that calls it a ground round lol.

Ok - so do you guys over in Buffalo have garbage plates or any variety of a garbage plate?

Seriously - I'm not that adventerous in my eating, but Rochester should get an award for the most mediocre or just bad restaurants :nod:

[David]

Really? Maybe it's a Buffalo thing. We are the land of all things healthy, you know. :laugh:Stevie gave a great performance in Buffalo on July 2, 1983, at the old War Memorial arena. And Fleetwood Mac gave a fair-to-middling performance in Buffalo (at Orchard Park) on July 28, 1978, in the late afternoon hot sun. So Buffalo cannot be all bad! or even all healthy!

Garbage plates are all about Rochester, baby! Funny you mention it, I tried to do a search for a pic of a Texas Hot & found this:

How this guy hasn't had a heart attack yet is beyond me. Of course, my brother once made it his mission to eat at every single Mighty Taco. :laugh: He got to most of them.

I like Mexican and Italian food and that is about it. I am even fussy about what I will eat when I do eat those foods.

The '83 show was at the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium ("The Aud.") The '78 show was at the then 5 year old War Memorial Stadium (home of the Bills - then it was Rich Stadium, now it's Ralph Wilson Stadium.)

I have the audio from these, and I agree Stevie's Buffalo show kicks ass. The Mac show is OK, most notably for the early version of SOTM.

[David]

I like Mexican and Italian food and that is about it. I am even fussy about what I will eat when I do eat those foods.Italian food? Fussy? How would one manage that? It's all just pasta, marinara, cheese & olive oil. What's to be fussy about?

I must have had a blessed childhood because whenever I encounter people who eat virtually nothing except the squarest heartland food--people who seem afraid of anything else--I am just amazed & flummoxed. In my household, we ate (& still eat) an incredible variety of ethnic & homegrown foodstuffs, including those from Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Korea, Russia, Greece, Turkey, Spain, Morocco, France, Germany, Italy, Britain, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden, India, Pakistan, Argentina, Brazil, the Caribbean, Hawaii & Polynesia, not to mention all over the U.S.

Why so fussy about so much food? have you tried anything novel or different? why so afraid to do so? You might actually like a little here, a little there. Next time you saunter past a Greek bistro, step in & order a shish-kebob of lemon-marinaded chicken or lamb, or when you drive past a Vietnamese cafe, pull in & try a Vietnamese roll of chicken & cilantro wrapped in rice paper.

You won't die. Just keep repeating to yourself, "I won't die. I won't die."

1000 points for using the word "flummoxed." We should really try to use that word more, it's neat. :thumbsup:

I know for me, at first, it wasn't fear of "dying," it was not wanting to spend money on something I wasn't sure I'd like. Being on a budget, it really pisses me off when I try something new & hate it, I feel like I've wasted my money.

A bunch of us at work started a little dinner club, where we'd go out to a different place every month, almost always "ethnic". That way, we got to share things & find out what we liked. It was great until we realized that none of us could stand one of the "members" and we had no way of getting rid of her. So it's petered out as of late.

anything Asian.

Me, too. I was soooo picky as a child.....now I'll eat anything! The spicier the better! Thai, Mexican, Chinese. Set me on fire!
About the only thing I don't care for is old American dishes like pot roast, etc... They're just boring. I'm addicted to spice. I buy the BEST hot sauce(sweet chili sauce) at my local Asian market. Actually, two different kinds, that I mix together. Damn I'm hungry now!

Come to Rochester, you'll find an Asian place that will let you down in no time ;)

I'm seriously fed up with the bad restaurant selection here - and what's more disturbing is I'll have people swear up and down that so and so place is the best on the planet..I go with high hopes only to be let down.

Case in point - an Asian place called Mamasan...I actually tried something I'd never had before....and though I didn't die...I did spend a lot of money for a dish I didn't even put a dent in. Blah.

lord, I grew up on Sonic. I don't think my mom could survive anywhere without a Sonic nearby. I don't go there at all now except to get a coke. they have THE best ice ever. I remember they changed the ice once a while back and people bitched so much they changed it back. :laugh:

Preach it. Sonic has THE BEST cokes EVER! I always ask for "extra ice!" Yeah, their ice is world famous!

Donut shops usually have really good ice too, kind of like Sonic. Now we're on who has the best ice, ha!! :laugh:

Yeah, the Sonic foot long conies are really good smothered in chili, cheese, and onions---fabulous! Unfortunately, they're like a million calories so I never get 'em anymore. I guess I could have one once in a while :shrug:.

So are you moving to Colorado or something? You need to get out of Rochester--sounds like they have **** for food :laugh: :xoxo:. One good thing about that though is that you're forced to eat at home so you don't have to worry about going out to eat and putting on a lot of weight :shrug:. I know it's hard to move from a place that has fabulous eateries to a place that, well, doesn't. I hate to think about ever having to move away from Austin for that very reason!

I know it's hard to move from a place that has fabulous eateries to a place that, well, doesn't. I hate to think about ever having to move away from Austin for that very reason!


I know...but sadly eating at home hasn't helped me in the weight department...because of the winter's I'm not used to and the fact that I eat horribly I've gained 30 pounds since moving here :distress: I'm just sick about it - but know it's my fault - and I know what I did to get here - so now I'm starting to creat better habits.

THat will not be helped by the fact that I'm moving back to the west (yes, I'm moving to Colorado) where they have all the familiar things I love, Dairy Queen, Village Inn, Sonic, Chik-Fil-A.


Yeah, well we do have Tim Horton's & Mighty Taco. So there.

There now Mighty Taco's here..and Tim HOrtons..I've yet to step foot inside one of those.

[chiliD]

Why oh why doesn't WHITE CASTLE make another attempt to conquer Southern California??

There's no Dairy Queens in Roch? Really? There's a ton here - mostly just ice cream, but there are a few that serve food too. Sadly, no White Caslte, Sonic or Chik-Fil-A. :distress:

Did you mean there are now MT's there, or there are no MT's there? Either way, you'd probably hate it, it's definitely fast food (although I hate Taco Bell & Love MT.)

Never been to Timmy Ho's? Heathen! The donuts are OK, the muffins are good, the soup & sandwich combos are really good. I'm not big on coffee, but their English toffee cappucino is to die for, and so are their frozen cappuccinos. :thumbsup:

No Mighty Taco. Just confirmed with the boys in the newsroom who says they're only in Buffalo lol.

T Hos...well maybe I'll go to one this weekend for soup and a sandwich - two things I enjoy. I just don't like going to places with donuts because I get so damn tempted...and well, 30 pounds later I just cannot go up another clothing size. I refuse.

Do you guys have Taco Cabana up there? Man, that place puts Taco Bell to shame--it's much fresher and tastier and they actually serve meals, even margaritas! That's kind of an anomaly for fast food chains. I REALLY wish Texas would get back with Del Taco! They used to have 'em here, but not anymore. I think Del Taco kicks Taco Bell's ass too :nod:.

Some guys tried to open a Del Taco here (in Rochester) years ago, it failed miserably. I have not seen any Taco Cabanas...pretty much all we have here is Taco Bell - which I refuse to go to :p

That sucks. You'll lose the extra weight, just create a health plan and stick to it. And also, stay away from fast food. I know it's hard, but man, it really packs on the poundage like nobody's business! When I quit eating fast food (for the most part) I lost a good 15-20 lbs. Oh and beer, I stopped drinking beer [for the most part :D ]:---maybe that was it :shrug: :laugh:.

I think you still get the best tacos (usually soft are more authentic) from those little holes-in-the-walls taquerias that dot the landscape. Of course, you have to be careful about which ones you eat at.

There's a little taqueria here run by a mom & pop from Mexico. It's very clean & cheap, too. Mama takes your money & papa prepares your food to order. Great horchata, too! There's no better thirst quencher than horchata over ice with nutmeg sprinkled atop.

Those are the ones I almost always eat at because there are about 3-5 good ones very close to my house. They are so cheap, too, and always have really good salsa fresca. I definitely prefer them. The burritos weigh about 4 pounds and cost 5 dollars. Or you can get the 2 pounder for 3 dollars... :laugh:
Okay, just wanted to talk about mexican food with David. We're pretty spoiled here in California as far as Mexican food goes, I think. I can't throw a stone without hitting a good place. :woohoo:

Yet when I spent the summer in the bay area I couldn't find a decent place. I'm attached to the Southern New Mexico stuff...man...you haven't eaten until you've eaten at some hole-in-the-wall place in New Mexico - the seedier the better :D

I'm really excited to try the food where I'm moving - there's a huge Mexican population - and I saw lots of little seedy Mexican joints..woohoo!

NOpe nope - fully sighted - I did see many - and I tried a few - none were any good :shrug: Perhaps I tried the wrong ones...I figured with so many Mexicans around (I was in San Jose) there was bound to be good food - but the Tortillas were like sour...tortilla should never ever be sour.

I've never heard of a sour tortilla.

But you southwesterners & Texans are so persnickety with your Mexican food. You guys think you're the only ones in the States who understand real Mexican food! You guys seem to forget that California was Mexican before it was American! :laugh: :thumbsup:

I'd make a bad Mexican food maven because it just isn't my favorite cuisine. It's essentially a peasant's food (although so is what we think of as Greek food & Turkish food & Mideastern food & so many other cuisines), & it has a certain "thrown-together" quality, what with the beans & the rice & the back end of the bull. My favorite Mexican restaurants have that high Spanish, or Castilian, touch--that ranchero flavor from the Old World.

but even that, ehh ... it's good every once in a while. But give me big slabs of quivering sashimi any day & every day over that.

These places are all over Austin too :nod:. Like Amber said about Cali, you can't throw a rock in any general direction without hitting a good Mexican food place in Austin. In fact, it's impossible.

In Kenya my favorites were:

Samosas: dough filled with seasoned meat - usually lamb.

Mandazis: fried dough served with tea, their tea is full-bodied and fantastic. They also season their tea with masala, a mixture of ginger, cinamon, cloves, black pepper and a couple of other spices.

Their curry is excellent.

Chipate: flatbread just like Indian nan. They fold their curry/stew/whatever in a piece of the bread. Mmmm... to die for.

[amber]

mmmm....I get these a lot at this weird little market. They're vegetarian, though. Still very good.
Kind of goes with my theory, though - if it's deep fried it will probably tast good. :laugh:
Except you didn't say yours were fried. Is that the same? They told me they were Samosas.

Yes, they are deep fried I believe. Yes, they really are so good! Kenyans practically live on lamb. Other meats as well. Twice my Kenyan friends had bags of meat they were eating from. :lol: It's too much. I once asked George "what's in the bag" and he sheepishly answered "meat". It was too funny. Everywhere you eat you get toothpics. People constantly have toothpics in their mouths.

Makes sense, everyone has type O blood. :shrug: Their body uses and processes meats more easily, and should eat more than other blood types.
Yep. :D

[GypsySorcerer]

lord, I grew up on Sonic. I don't think my mom could survive anywhere without a Sonic nearby. I don't go there at all now except to get a coke. they have THE best ice ever. I remember they changed the ice once a while back and people bitched so much they changed it back. :laugh:

Preach it. Sonic has THE BEST cokes EVER! I always ask for "extra ice!" Yeah, their ice is world famous!

Sonic's ice rules my universe. Did you know you can get a cupful for a quarter? ;)

Anyway, ethnic food - Mexican, Greek, Japanese for me. And I was raised on Italian which I love.:woohoo:

Sheesh, Every little pissant town in Oklahoma has at least 1 Sonic Drive-in...But that is mainly because Sonic is an Oklahoma based company (Their HQ is in downtown OKC right off of I-40, Down the street from the Ford Center, nextdoor to the lameass "Toby Keith's Bar & Grill")

:laugh: Just start your diet afterwards. No big. But you know actually, it's okay to eat bad once in a while anyway. You know what they say, don't fight those cravings or else you'll end up gorging later. It's good to have a taste at least to squash the cravings ya know?

I used to love the "extreme tots" at Sonic: tater tots, cheese, chili, ranch dressing, onions, and jalapenos. Omg, it is so delicious and horrible for you :laugh:. I never eat 'em anymore but I used to crave them, especially after a night of drinking...good soak-up-alcohol junk food. Man, I can't even imagine putting that into my body now! :laugh:

of when my older sister called to tell me they have opened a Sonic near her town of California City, CA...Man, she was very eager to try the food (Whereas Deb & I can have Sonic any day of the week since there is one located up the road from our home.)

some kinda dish that was like a tamale w/cabbage & beef. Definitely no burgers on the menu.

As for buffalo burgers, those are too easily available in this area, Since most people here tend to raise buffalo/bison instead of cattle (There's a herd of buffalo in a pasture behind the high school which is 1/4th mile to my South).
