What's better and why?

Mexican American food, Asian American food, or Italian American food?
>>
Mexican American food because that's what I like best.

"Chinese" food gets old and Italian American is the same sauce and pasta 100 different ways
>>
Out of those three, Chinese is the most diverse and closest to its roots.
>>

I could eat Chinese-American food everyday and not feel like I'm dying.

Most places will steam the vegetables and meat, toss it in a light sauce, and serve with steamed rice. Steamed dumplings are good, too. Not everything has to be fried.
>>
>>7052669

The Asian approach is better IMO, as it always includes a high percentage of vegetables, and you can mix and match proteins and spices with ease.

The Mezkin and Italian foods are alright, but they're usually more fat heavy.

None. All fucked up versions of originals

While I prefer Italian or Mexican over Asian, the -American equivalents, Asian-American wins.
>>
Mex Amer but only when way less Americanized than that picture.

>>
>>7052689
Mexican American food is also the same thing 100 different ways. Chinese food at least has a lot of different things. Only similarity between all is rice
>>
>>7052669
I like straight up Mexican food. Not a fan of Mexican-American for whatever reason. Asian-American food is my jam, though.
>>
mexican american
because while chinese and italian american food are as good as the traditional authentic stuff
the mexican american blows the traditional authentic stuff the fuck out
>>
Pointless thread, but another vote for Asian.
It seems like you mean Panda Express type fast food, but Asia proper includes many excellent cuisines... many flavors of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Filipino, Vietnamese, Indian, and others. No contest.

Mexican is much better than tex mex and has much much more variety. This is why all the top chefs praise Mexican and why no one gives a shit about tex mex whenit comes to regional american cuisine
>>
asian american by far

mexican american and italian american are both poor imitations of their authentic versions

asian american is way better than actual asian food

mexican food can only be made in professional kitchens. The masses in mexico are too poor to actually contribute anything of value to the culinary world
>>
>>7055204
Nothing you said correlates with my post. Mexican food is superior food as tex mex a one dimensional pile of shit. Plus there are many Mexican restaurants in the top 50 restaurants, so get with the times

You realize even Mexican street food is praised right? Also, Mexico does have professional kitchens. Go back to masturbating to trump.

American Chinese food consists mostly of: fry it, add flavorful syrup or oil. There are dishes that don't fit that description, but the same goes for American Mexican food and the fundamentals there.
>>
>>7055511
Italian food is 99% mix and matches of water, flour, eggs, tomatoes, basil. and cheese.
>>
>>7052669
Should stop calling it nationality food and start categorizing food by their main ingredients/spices.

I could eat stuff like osso buco, chicken vesuvio, and pesto or alfredo all fucking day. Italian american is more varied and more like a real cuisine than chinese take out crap or enchilada/burritos

Our culture is conquering weaker cultures.
Plus Italians are white you whopper.

easily american mexican food, and the only reason is because it contains on average more vegetables and fiber.

viva la bean.

clearly Italian

Mexican food is all basically the same shit presented differently

I'm biased because I have a Chinese girlfriend but Chinese-[insert country here] food is pretty goddamn crazy. They can cook just about anything and make it delicious and load it to hell and back with veggies.
Mexican food is alright but I haven't had a large diversity of options to really comment.
Italian food can be great every so often but eating it all the time can make it stale. I need to learn my grandma's recipes before she kicks the bucket. My god all that Italian in her makes her a hell of a cook.

We cook together actually. Not sure what the problem is.

Chinese girls can't cook because their parents spoil them. If yours can cook then congrats you got yourself a shiny pokemon.

You really should have just said, "Chinese American food", because there are plenty of different Asian restaurants in the US, but you're probably thinking about how most places just serve Americanized Chinese food.

Yeah, you can get authentic versions of all three everywhere, but the first thing I think of when I think of Asian food is sushi places. Even the ones that don't serve stupidly large, complicated rolls, slathered with 3 different sauces are still Americanized. Sushi would be the only real answer, but it doesn't sound like that's what's being asked.

Shitty pizza was also a dumb thing to post, because Americanized Italian food is actually a thing - sometimes very good - and most people wouldn't even consider pizza Italian-American food.

Then you post hard shell tacos...

Mexican American food is tex-mex. Hard shell tacos are what white trash eat on taco Tuesdays. The only real answer is tex-mex, followed by Italian-American, with generic Chinese American food coming up dead last.

Adding American to the end of everything
