Number 1 would be Thai (of course) since I grew up eating it.

In fact, I like most Mediterranean foods like Moroccan, Greek, Lebanese, and Spanish.

Most expensive, and best italian meal I ever had was at Harry's Bar in Venice

How much? The most expensive Italian meal happened to be the worst by the way. Oh the irony.

Also, in the north east, mainly NYC , if you can find a muslim Indian restaurant, try it!

I like Indian but not as much as the others I mentioned.

I also tried Afghani food once and I couldn't get enough!

San Fran has a lot of good eateries where you can't go wrong.

As for England, the early plan is to rent a car and drive from destination to destination ourselves, starting in Scotland, with the stops being arranged by a company that handles that sort of thing. I do know our final destination will be Wales, so we should cover a lot of ground. The wife is an Anglophile, I'm just along for the single malt

I was in Suffolk County and got to travel around. If I could, I'd move to Cambridge. Now that's a college town.

I don't remember the names of the restaurants in Venice, but the one place I tried I just kinda stumbled around the corner looking for something to eat. I gorged on the food there.

Of course you can go much more expensive, I've never tried those...
But in the spirit (phun intented

Looks delicious, not that appearance is an indicator of anything. I also enjoyed the spirit pun

I had afghani food once, I want to say it was lamb with a cream sauce and rice. I found it to be a little bland. What did you have?

Also, I'm very jealous of san fran. The phoenix area really has nothing as far as culture.

Charleston is loaded with fine dining establishments. It was ranked last year by Conde Nast Traveler as the #2 vacation destination nationally, and something like #4 internationally. As a result of all the tourism, we are loaded with great eateries

I forgot to mention I'm a big fan of Japanese food. While I like sushi and sashimi, I will sometimes be happy with some udon noodles or rice and chicken.

Man, I just had dinner and I'm already hungry after all this posting.

I have a severe weakness for sushi. Luckily we have a few good restaurants here, and one only about 5 minutes from my house

You're going to get a guest pretty soon! lol

I must admit that there's a lot around here when it comes to food. German, Polish, Italian, Ethiopian, Iranian, and on and on. Lots of Viet food, too.

Ours are not so great here, it is a desert after all. I did tell you my Valentines day sushi story right? Yeah, pretty sure I did.

I also happen to love authentic "southwest" and "Tex-mex" cooking, and I think you probably have a lock on that as well
