I feel like these three always come up when we all think about going out to eat ( be it with family or a date,minus bars and restaurants of course).... safe to say. Anywho, these all are always a safe bet. So minus American Cuisine.... of these three which one would you give up if you had to? I also thought it be a tough one (For most) because I think we all crave these most days. What says you? I don't think I could ever give up Mexican.

Just based of recent experience. Panda Express gave me the worst food poisoning ever so I’m giving Chinese food the boot

I'd give up Chinese first and Italian last.

The actual version of the cuisine, I'm giving up Mexican. The Americanized version of the cuisine, I'm giving up Chinese.

I can’t tell you the last time I’ve had Chinese food. We tend to lean more towards Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, or Japanese over Chinese (when ranking Asian cuisines).

So, my answer is Chinese food.

Chinese. Even without the Thai/Vietnamese loophole.

Hard call as to what would go next. If pizza is included with Italian, that would have to leave last in our household.

Chinese easily, but every sitcom makes it look like that’s all people ever eat for takeout. Is that a northern thing?

Italian

My people are Mexican and Chinese noodle dishes are more exciting to me than Italian pasta dishes.

My youngest kid loves it, so we get it probably once per month. I could take it or leave it. To me, most of it is crappy breaded chicken. The Mongolian beef is decent I guess.

I don't know about that. I love chicken parm, lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, pizza. Italian is a top 2 or 3 cuisine for me.

I could easily live the rest of my life without Mexican food. It's all anyone ever wants to eat when we go out too.

Albanian sheep bladder is bad stuff, so I vote to give up Albanian, except for our National Albanian day.

Probably Italian if we're not including Pizza. And assuming I can still make those dishes myself and we're only counting restaurants and take-out. There are 2-3 good Mexican places we go to often. The only sit down restaurant near where my wife and I work is Mexican, and we go maybe twice a month for lunch, so I wouldn't want to give that up. I can cook Italian food way better than I can Chinese, so not giving that one up either. We still have a good and relatively cheap Chinese take-out place near the house too. Besides ordering Pizza, the only Italian we ever get is a Lasagna take-out, and it is pretty rare we get that. Maybe a few times a year at most. We're usually opting for Greek, BBQ, Chinese, or sandwich places if we go pick something up.
