Middle Eastern (Lebanese to be specific) and Mexican. I like Moroccan food too.


Here's a question though. What is the diff between Lebanese, Jordanian, an Syrian?  It's like the difference between West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio

I honestly don't believe there is much of a difference. Most Middle Eastern resturaunts here in the states are labled as "Middle Easter Cousine," but a lot of the time they are also labled "Lebanese Cousine." The obvious reason for this is because the owner is Lebanese. In my opinion and from experiences, most Middle Eastern resturaunts are owned by Lebanese people. This is going to sound like a stereotype to my own people, but Lebanese people don't like working FOR someone else. They like owning their own businesses. That's why you see of local Lebanese owned resturaunts, jewelers, and gas stations. Again this is just my opinion, but that is why I believe a lot of Middle Eastern resturaunts are labled as "Lebanese." Of course there is a difference in how certain dishes may be made, but most of the meals are going to be the same as the other surrounding countries.
Doug Flutie is Lebanese.  Most of my experiences with Lebanese is in the area of jewelry.  They're definitely definitely among the best in that area

The Scots and Irish have good breakfasts, too.  Love scones...especially potato scones.  And gammon...mmmmm mmmmm

Absolutely true.  Some of the sausages took some getting used to, but the bacon (rashers) are amazing.

No, they're the same but Scots decided to cover them in batter and deep-fry them.  I've never had them.  They also do the same to a pizza slice.  I kid you not!

Bangers for me, but that is what I was raised on.  When I first came to the States that was one of the things I missed the most.
