I have to disagree... Apart wurstels, they have too much soups and spicy stuff.. And they eat pizza with STRAWBERRIES and FRUIT JAM... The italian cook inside me is having a heart attack... |
 I'm not quite sure how to put this...

Mexican is yummy, but there's hardly any country in the world that can match the Italians foodwise.

Italian food is the best, of course  . 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.

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...

Viva Italia!  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...

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

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

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

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

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