For me it’s Indian food, but then… what else? Ugh… what a question.

Bah. My mind is a whirling blank right here. I mean, freshly-prepared tiradito right off the boat is like… ffff, like tasting heaven.

I mean, I’ve never had *truly* fresh, truly authentic sushi, but I imagine it would be like tiradito? (note: it’s a form of ceviche, i.e. latino lime-cooked fish slices)

    Mexican and Chinese.

    But like the american type chinese takeout with a seventeen page menu of sushi and bubble teas I will never once get. And the mexican restaurants that also serve americanized tacos, so you know everything else has extra cheese and sauce.

      I would say you’re looking for Texmex cuisine, which is the Americanized version of Mexican food that’s heavy with the cheeses and sauces, and Sino-American cuisine, which is the Americanized Chinese food and also includes things like fortune cookies which are most definitely not Chinese in origin.

      Though I might just say “American” cuisine as that would include those things, and also very American foods like pizza, hamburgers, and hot dogs.
