I had to go with other too Mike.   While Indian comes in second for me, I'll take Vietnamese any time I can get it.

Could've done with 'ALL' category for me.

I have thing though where I think it might depend on what your accustom to eating in the main.  Because of my background, I've grown up on mixed asian, Thai cuisine but enjoy food that I find completely different. i.e Roast dinners, Casseroles, Beef stew & dumplings, things like that.

So 'other' for moi.

In a prior life, I think I was Mexican.

Chicken Mole with a margarita, I'm good.

I have to do other too, even though I like all the choices, I would say that Mediteranean foods first, eastern and indian second with meso-american--i.e. Mexican, and other Latin American close.  I just haven't ever found any "type" of food, if it was well prepared, that I don't like.  Generally I prefer highly spiced and flavored foods, although I also like Scandanavian stuff a lot of people wouldn't even consider food like lutefisk.   Poorly prepared foods, on the other hand--this Taco Bell, etc.--are enough to make me thin.

I had to go with Greek, as it's the closest to Armenian food.  We share many foods in common, as there are many Armenians on Cypress.  I also love Arabic food, which we also share in common, with slightly different names and slightly different ingredients.  I grew up cooking Armenian foods.

I also love Japanese, Indian, Thai, and Chinese foods.  I'm a big seafood lover, but don't care for fish that much.

ALL, of course (I mean, do I look picky?)

But voted 'other' for Japanese.

I went with other. I chose other because I love Russian/Ukrainian food. When I go to my mothers house she always has a nice borsht cooking it seems. My wife is Ukrainian but she doesnt care for the food so she doesnt cook it much.
 After Russian food I love chinese food. I like the sweet and sour pork and chicken, almond chicken, and all those other goodies.

I was an Italian in a former life I think.  I could live on that stuff.  The pasta, the cheese, the wine....yum!

Greek is a real close second.  There is a Greek place here in town owned by a Greek guy.  I'm not going to try to spell his name.
