I'd say Japanese is more diverse by a pretty wide margin

What I came to post.

Anthony Bourdain always said that China was the cradle of gourmet coooking.
And I don’t think most Americans realize how truly diverse authentic Mexican cuisine is. There are 31 states in Mexico plus the Federal District of Mexico City. Many influences on the cuisine.

I'd go with Italian, but French pastries alone make me consider it.

It is true (somewhat) and well documented. In culinary school we learned that she brought the use of forks to France. Before that, people ate with their hands or from communal spoons.
One of the stipulations she had for marrying Henry of Orlèons was that she demanded to bring her cooks and food culture with her.
Florence (where she's from) already had an elaborate food culture in the 16th century.
Some of this may be a bit of but, the points are all valid. Fact check it.
Oh geez. First, she didn’t bring the use of forks to France. She probably helped to popularize the usage of forks, but that’s not the same thing. Also, she didn’t demand to bring her cooks and food culture (whatever you mean by that). When she married Prince Henry, she was relatively poor, and certainly did not have a whole entourage of cooks in tow.
Most of your stories are apocryphal stories that popped up in the 19th century.

Same. Lot of overlap in some of these depending on the region it seems like. I wonder which one would give you the broadest base with an eye toward being a master or at least proficient in all of them

What would you find on a menu that would be considered fine dining in Mexico? I've always been curious having only eaten at your typical Tex-Mex places here in the South.

Having tried to make asian food a few times, and either failing or making meh food, definitely Asian.
I've watched my families in-law make legit korean food. I don't know how that little woman involves all of those ingredients to make something as "on the surface simple" as egg rolls, but they are the best egg rolls i've ever had (triangle shape, not rolls). Her Pho is incredible as well. I've tried to recreate a few dishes, mostly noodle dishes, and i just suck at it.
I can make french cuisine and i enjoy doing so. Probably not to the level of French Laundry, but a beef burguignone, chicken version in white wine, local cajun french meals, and they aren't terribly difficult just takes patience. Asian is hot and fast and i can't seem to master it.

I believe that's American cuisine. It covers, hotdogs, hamburgers, pizza, texmex, Cajun, seafood, steaks. Basically everything.
But What i would want to be really good at is Mexican/Texmex. Its so good, and should be easy but i havnt gotten many dishes to taste how they are in great Mexican restaurants.
Japanese would be the other but I have nailed Japanese Hibachi.
When i was in Italy i was actually disappoint in the cuisine and thought American Italian was better. BUT i was in central to north... i didnt go to south where there is more of what we would recognize as Italian.
Another country i would love to tour for the food it China...

Lol. You really comparing hot dogs and hamburgers to risotto and wild boar sauce? Pizza? Hate to tell you but that’s not American. If you haven’t been to Italy and the various regions you have no clue how diverse the food is north to south and even how something like bolognese changes dramatically from region to region.

quote:so you didnt read past that... yes i have been to italy... and it was disappointing. But thats a given as things in America, and especially south Louisiana, are just more flavorful, top to bottom, than most places in the world. Was the food good... sure... but it wasnt outstanding as the flavors were subtle.

Honestly, what you typed isn't worth a detailed response. From your America comment I can see you're one of "those" people. You're probably one of those shitty American travelers as well. Peace.

Thai food for me. I like fresh, aromatic, herby dishes. French food is too heavy for me.

Not sure what you meant by that but, she was born into a wealthy family that owned one of the largest banks in Europe. Now don't come back with "her family was rich but she wasn't" or some b.s.

For sure. We can cook all the others. Our Indian friend has taught us some tricks, but for Indian, the spices are so intricate.
