honestly don't think you can vote one country's cuisine over another. individual dishes yes. whole menus, no.

also, as a guy who has eaten the london equivalent of what passes for a burrito, I feel justified in saying that no britishers should be allowed to vote in this poll
― the evil genius of Zaiger Genetics (J0hn D.), Monday, 3 August 2009 00:13 (fourteen years ago) link
you dude from tx & points west don't even wanna know what that london burrito tasted like
and finally even though I'm abstaining from this poll, any of youse who haven't actually been to Italy who think "oh it's no contest, Mexican" have exactly zero idea of what you're talking about. actual from-italy Italian food would straight freak you OUT.

^^^can i just str8-up kiss this guy
most of my burritos were eaten in cambridge while a student, and they're not making burritos outta strychnined rats in the sticks iirc
on an entirely unrelated note i walked past nick cave today and he wasn't eating a burrito
― One idiot even called me "redcoat" because I'm (country matters), Monday, 3 August 2009 00:21 (fourteen years ago) link
if you mean "cambridge, england" those weren't burritos, they were yorkshire puddings

pretty sure british ppl are still allowed in mexico and america and italy not only london

Some of the best tasting Italian food I have ever eaten was made by a Mexican chef.

i mean don't get me wrong i love mexican food but that subset of italian food is my number one jam
― air crut (J0rdan S.), Monday, 3 August 2009 00:48 (fourteen years ago) link
one thing that mexican has in its favor is that it's much easier to find good & cheap mexican than it is to find good & cheap italian, pizza excepted

italy
― I h8 meatheads (cozwn), Monday, 3 August 2009 00:59 (fourteen years ago) link
I love it. Another good food fight thread.
And John brings up a really important point. I live in north Mexico - California, where apparently we are all retarded - and as good as the Mexican food is here, it holds nary a candela to Mexican from actual Mexico. Shit is unreal.
And my wife says the same about Italian, me having never been.

This is OTM. I can't afford to eat good Italian.
― k. k3ller & public admin log (The Reverend), Monday, 3 August 2009 01:46 (fourteen years ago) link
for me, italian food in italy was super disappointing, save the gelato, which was def on another level.
our meals were consistently good, but there were no epiphany moments, and it wasn't *significantly* different from the italian restaurants I had been going to in france/america - except the bread sucked balls and we had to get in 20 minute arguments w/ the waiters to get non-bottled water. not worth it.

iatee next time you're in italy I suggest you get yourself invited to eat at somebody's house
if you cannot wrangle an invitation just knock on some doors
because a home-cooked italian meal will fuck you up
― the evil genius of Zaiger Genetics (J0hn D.), Monday, 3 August 2009 01:52 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm sure it would
but I'd still rather have a home-cooked mexican meal if I got a choice

because a home-cooked italian meal will fuck you up - truth bomb (gf comes from an Italian family w/ tightly-guarded secret recipes which are handed down as a birthright among the women).
Still gotta go with Mexican.
