My favorite kitchen would have to be the Indian kitchen with its tandoori and and Roghan Josh. Close second would be Chinese, the last time I had marinated duck breast I almost fell off my chair.

Having Yutaka Midori now :)

:lol: No way EW, Augie and her family get a charge cruising the German Cemetery when I go back to visit relatives (where Augie got his name). Just had a family reunion last weekend. Complete w/German Kartoffelsadad and beer. My folks live 10 mi from an awesome German restaurant out in the middle of nowhere. Their food is great and they have an accordion player who strolls the room sipping Bier from a stein.

I voted other because I just don't have a preference. I am very much equal opportunity when it comes to food. Twinkies, cheetos, Lobster Newberg, turducken . . . it's all good to this hungry German chick! :wink:

I really like anything. Italian, Mexican, German ***, Pakisani, Chinese, ect. But German's my favorite because I can only have it once a year so I savor it...I want some real Bratwurst!

Voted "other Asian" since for me it's a three-way tie between Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese... with Korean and Japanese close behind. Aargh! Too difficult!

Nothing in my cup at present, but I'm looking forward to brewing some Dan Cong at the end of today's travelling (going to visit family in Ontario).

I had to vote French, even though I'm not so sure it's an "ethnic" food. Still, mmmmmmmmm. There's nothing like a rich, hearty, flavorful French country meal. Especially a good coq au vin. It really doesn't get any better...

Japanese comes in second place. I looooove me some unagi.

I like them all. Voted greek. Salsero – gorgeous image.
Not sure yet what I will make. Probably will go with Capricorn blend (contains vanilla and coconut) and have a nice Italian cookie with it.

This poll needs to be multiple choice. I settled for Japanese (mmm, sushi and tempura and miso soup and and and), but I looooooove almost everything listed. The only kind of food I'm not that keen on is Greek, but I pretty much eat anything.

I took a picture of my morning cuppa, but I'll post it this afternoon. I'm going to tea with friends, so I'll have more photos to share later!

I love all sorts of Asian food, sushi and thai and Chinese and so on. Not so keen on French but it can be nice to to coq au vine with "false chicken". Greek: moussaka, mm! Italian: Lasagna, mm! Middle east: Meze, dolma, baba ganousch, homous, tahini, imam baylidi, okra... yes please.

Swedish food, not so much :lol: Guess Nordic food (and German) is not that vegetarian-friendly...

Now cooking noodles with red curry sauce. Having it for dinner. And I'm on my 8th steep of Jade Oolong.

I said other because anything called food is my favorite.

Polished off my silverneedle today which is oK because I'm waiting for some more white teas from Adagio.

I definitely had to go with other. My grandmother is Polish and makes the most awesome pork and sauerkraut and we have a local Polish restaurant that makes homemade, to-die-for perogies and chrusciki. On the same token, I am completely enamored by the little Greek shop in the city that has awesome hummus, feta cheese, spanakopita, and kalamati olives. Then there is Japanese, Chinese, and other Oriental foods with sushi, fried rice, hot and sour soup, and many others that would take way too long to list.

In my cup this morning is Apple Green tea thanks to a tea swap with TimeForTea. I am planning on an awesome tea day today since the weather finally cooled down.

It will be a heavy rain day all day today, hopefully a great TeaDay.

The poll ... first, sorry for leaving out Mexican and Indian. They were both on my list, but somehow never made it onto the poll. I added them but a little after the fact.

To be honest, I look at the list of poll options and throw my hands up in the air in surrender. I will think about this a bit today. I love many of the options. And throw "fusion" in there as well.

A good start to my TeaDay included Adagio Darjeeling and currently, my fav O-Cha Yutaka Midori.
