6. Yum Yum Yum I love Greek food!
Some of my best girlfriends are Greek. Some advice...never ever turn down an invite to one of their family parties. It really is just like "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." The food is just to die for and of course, all homeade. I also love Mousaka, which is similar to Pastitsio, but it's made with eggplant. This is making me hungry.

12. A draw btw. Thai and Mexican.
I love peanut sauce and a bit of Pad Thai. I also like Mexican and I ain't talking about the Taco Bell crap either. I am talking about Tortas and Real Tacos. The type of Tacos with the Tortillas that Mamacita has been making in the kitchen spending hours pounding the cornmeal down.

17. I love it all
Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Mediterranean, Middle-Eastern, Italian, Mexican, Tex-Mex, Cajun, etc...

But if I have to pick just one, it would have to be Greek:

21. Hard choice
I'd say Mexican, but Thai and Italian are tied for a close second.

26. wow that is really tough
I don't know if I can choose

I eat a LOT of Mexican, but it is literally more "local" to me than anything else. I can't do it. Can't choose.
