Wouldn't expect anything less from fast food. McDonald's, Burger King, KFC... I imagine they all use similar methods.

Onto the OP, I really dig Mexican food. But I've been to Rome twice now, and both times the highlight was the native food. Now bearing in mind the city is mindblowing in every aspect by most standards (incredible history, well-preserved, shopping in world class, great sport, great climate, busy as hell...), I think that puts Italian food very high on my favourites list! It's gotta be from Italy though

Well, for those who enjoy the stereotypical Italian and Mexican dishes I highly encourage you explore further.  You will be richly rewarded.

Absolutely - after all pasta is just boiled wet flour, pizza is a toasted cheese sandwich and chilli con carne is as Mexican as a polar bear is Wink.
What?

My wife is a pastaholic.  You'd better hope she doesn't visit this site and read that. Tongue  And yes I do enjoy my toasted cheese sandwiches and the chilli soup/stew/whateverthehellitis. 

When it comes to Mexican, I like me a good ceviche, never had a mole (haven't figured out how to do that accent mark, I don't mean the earth digging rodent which I haven't had either.)   Kind of hard to come up with Italian that isn't some form of pizza or pasta and I'd love to be corrected on this.  Two of my favorite veggie dishes from an Italian cookbook I have have is a carrots Marsala and a simple sauteed broccoli with garlic and olive oil.

You ain't had Italian food unless you've been in the NYC tri-state area, or Italy itself.

If Chinese food was an option, it'd be the trifecta of food wars.

Chinese food kinda sucks imo. Doesn't belong here. Remember that the stuff you eat in America isn't actual Chinese food, it's an Americanised version that doesn't really exist in mainland China where I've lived and worked for years. Authentic Chinese food = pretty crappy for the most part.
 
For me, the big battle is Italian vs Indian, though Turkish/Greek has been gaining ground.

Since pasta feels like a fungus and is kinda flavorless I have to go with Mexican.

The Italian food is really very delicious in taste. According to me, Italian food can't be compared with any other food.

Italian food, no doubt.
Still, a good taco can be really delicious.

Viva Italia! LOL LOL
All of you that you don't like Italian food, have you ever try it in Italy? It has a huge difference you know!
Im not Italian, I love pizza, and I really hated it when i was in Italy! But pasta... That is whole subject for itself!
I am from Greece, I believe the Greek cuisine is one of the most balanced and most delicious in the world.
BUT, whenever I was travelling abroad and tried to eat in Greek restaurants it was never the same.
Anyway, that's not so important I guess... Tongue

I totally agree! I like chinese food, but I know it has nothing to do with the original tastes that they have in China!
The ones we have here is a 'Western version' of it.
And that's a nice idea for a poll concearning food! Turkish Vs Greek cuisine!
I think I will set it up right now, and I will explain the reasons there...

Italian food is the best, of course Wink. And yes, you don't know what italian food is until you eat it in Italy. But I guess this happens with every exported culture around the world.
