38 comments

1. Street tacos.

2. Chicken Tikka Masala. Also Tacos

3. Love me some *pierogi*.

   Also, ramen and *gyoza*.

4. At this point I struggle to call tacos non American.

   Outside of Mexican (both authentic and tex&mex) it’s probably thai red curries.

5. If I’m waking up for work and I don’t have a cafecito, then there’s a solid chance of a homicide or two occurring.

   So if drinks count, Cuban coffee gets my vote for keeping me a free man.

6. Thai drunken noodles

7. Does poké count?

8. Gyudon aka beefbowl. Just beef, rice, and onions, but really enjoyable.

9. Anything Greek…who would have thought!

10. Tacos

    Pho

    Curry

11. I like steel-cut oatmeal porridge for breakfast on the weekends when I can boil them over the stove.

12. Taco’s, Kimchi and Sushi are the keys to my heart 🙂

13. Xiao long bao

14. Nasi goreng
    Peanut sauce
    Kroepoek
    Satay

15. Probably gonna butcher the spelling but sopapias

    Basically fried tortillas with brown sugar and cinnamon

16. Pho, hands down.

17. Japanese food in general. Sushi, ramen, takoyaki, yakitori etc.

18. Italian, Greek, Mexican

19. It depends on what you mean. The US is filled with first, second, and third generation immigrants from every nation on earth. Within 5 miles of my house, there are multiple thai restaurants, Chinese restaurants, indian restaurants, italian restaurants, mexican restaurants, Brazilian steakhouses. As an american, I appreciate all food whatever its origins. Now its here in the US and I’m glad for it 🙂

20. Massaman curry

21. Anything indian! Thai a close second.

22. Berlin-style Doner Kebab.

    One of the few things that’s incredibly difficult to find in America. I found a couple of places in NYC that do it justice, but that’s about it. Literally nothing in all of New England, though there is a decent amount of Turkish food.

23. Lumpia without a doubt give me some lumpia and sweet chili sauce I’ll be set for life

24. Gyro

25. Tonkotsu ramen

26. Shrimp tacos and mole. I could live in Oaxaca. So good.

27. Pho

28. Filipino food.

29. German. The schnitzel, the sausages, and shanks. The potato salad, the spaetzle and the Jaeger and Hunter gravies. It’s hard to find a good plate of German in the US.

30. Lemon gelato.

31. Peruvian food. No doubt.

32. Bruschetta, caprese salad with real buffalo mozzarella, penne alla siciliana…gawd I miss Italy.

33. What’s non-American? American cuisine is a combination of all types of foods and cultures.

34. Sushi, paella valenciana, macarons, stroopwafel, poffertjes, tajine, croissant, pierogis, arepas, spaghetti carbonara…I can’t pick. I’d say I have carbonara and sushi most frequently, followed by paella. And for desserts stroopwafel.

35. Shawarma and tzatziki!!

36. Chilaquiles, kebab, baleadas, and ramen.

37. Hot pot with spicy broth, beef, lamb and lotus root

38. Hungarian and Mexican food! Give me csirke paprikas and real tacos!
