Tell me more.

What the duck is ethnic food? Italian, French? German? British? Barbeque?
>>
>>7500092
It's not, it's Thai. Or Burmese.
But Vietnamese falls way behind those two.
>>
>>7500148
I wouldn't say they're "amazing", but they are pretty good.
>>
>>7500137
eggs on pork chops is Vietnamese style, usually with rice and salad.
>>
anybody got a good recipe for vietnamese pork chop that's sweet and glazed like in the restaurants? also how to make those sweet tasting cabbage/carrots/daikon they usually serve them with?
>>
>>7500201
Do an image search on google, "thai pork", "burmese pork", and "vietnamese pork"
>>
>>7500092
Now here is an example of a perfectlly cooked fried egg
>>
>>7500229
They use a sauce made with ketchup and oyster sauce and something else. Totsu-something. Read it in a thread today but forgot it. The local weeb should know.

Favorite ethnic food would have to be italian

>ethnic food
This term only is meaningful within whatever tiny regional bubble happens to be your particular world. What might be an exotic immigrant cuisine where you live could be everyday eats somewhere else.

But if we take "ethnic food" to mean "the food of immigrant non-native English speakers in the English speaking world" then you pretty much start in Canton, China, head to Southeast Asia, then follow the spice trade through India and the Middle East to land in every country that borders the Mediterranean. There's your short list of great "ethnic" foods.

I had an ex's grandpa hate Italian food because it was ethnic. He was an old dude from Ohio.
>>
>>7500416
Well, to be far, Southern Italians are not the greatest of people. They were the original Mexicans.
>>
>>7500273
No they don't.
>>
>>7500422
Oh I phrased it weird. He claimed it was ethnic and that was the reason he didn't want to eat it.
>>
>>7500273
Tonkatsu sauce. Goes great with pork

No cooking involved:

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp Ketchup.
1 tbsp de oyster sauce
2,25 tsp sugar

mix and enjoy fuckers.

>>7500416
My Grandpa was from PA, and he felt the same way. Never was a clove of garlic in his house. My wife's grandparents were the same way. The food they are was mostly good, but not terribly varied. And some of it was boring as hell. Not what I would eat by choice.

As a white Californian, authentic Mexican is amazing.

>>7500839
>As a white Californian
Relevance?

Cheap, authentic Mexican street food is probably the best.

vietnamese food is great because of french colonization

it's like the french cooking techniques combined with asian ingredients
>>
>>7500092
You seemed to have spelled Japanese wrong
>>
>>7501423
Japanese food is bland.
>>
>>7500137
It's not. It's just another thing the Europeans are trying to steal from America.
>>
>ethnic food

Trust americunts to come up with retarded terms
>>
>>7501132
he's talking about the brown ring around the outside of the egg
>>
>>7501464

What would you call it?
>>
>>7501464
it wouldn't be fair to call it "foreign" food, since the majority of common American foods originate in foreign cuisine. other languages from monocultural societies have special words to refer to food cooked in a foreign rather than traditionally domestic style, like how Japanese refer to Western-stylized food as "youshoku" (actual food that comes from foreign cuisines has the name of the country or region attached to it). So to deal with this kind of discrepancy, American English mostly refers to "American" or Western food (which includes American-born food from non-European groups, such as tex-mex or American Chinese), and ethnic food to distinguish foods which come from Asia, Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe, or the Middle East. It's not an ideal term since it's based in orientalism, but it does refer to a specific but vast group of foods based on culturally-consistent dividing lines.

THAT IS MY FAVORITE

I'm going to a vietnamese restaurant tonight for it, maybe I should learn to make it myself...

Jalea is by far my favorite seafood dish. The marinated red onion is so good.

>>

What about that looks Chinese?

How so? The chinese do pile stuff up like that but there would always be a sauce involved.
>>
>entire nation of immigrants

what is ethnic food?
>>

>peruvian food is fucking delicious

If that's true it seems like you should have been able to find a picture to back up your claim.
>>
>>7501777
Peru actually has Chinese influences I their cuisine.
>>
>>7501823
Jalea is not a very photogenic dish. But you should try it.
>>
>>7501784
>>7501788
I said it because of the deep fried sorta clams that are in the bottom

>>7501837
That explains it

Without any question whatsoever.

What the fuck do you even mean by "ethnic"? Italian food and German food are just as ethnic as gook food.
>>
>>7500173
polite way to say third world
>>
>>7502122
It's pretty common in Spanish and Portuguese speaking places, where putting a fried egg on top of a steak is called "on horseback".
>>
>>7502130
so singapoo cousine is not ethnic? or dubai's? or finland's saami cousine for that matter?

To be fair, the OP is not that great of presentation.
>>
>>7501689

Deep fried anything is delicious
>>
As a Mexican from Mexico I agree with op, when I tire of mole, gorditas and freshly made tortillas I go get some pho and/or that awesome bbq pork, bun anything and idk if originally viet, but those tight as phuck egg rolls, perfectly crisp.
>>

have you tried filipino food?

Mexico and France have the best food in the world, IMO

Vietnamese is good too but I'm not fond of shrimp.
>>
>>7502334
deep fried liver is not so great
>>
>>7500092
I never understood the hype about Vietnamese food. Quite literally garbage-tier.

Just look at OP's pic. Burnt but somehow undercooked egg, bland boiled rice, little bit of cucumber and carrots, and a hunk of meat.

2/10 if that.

Anybody who likes Vietnamese food is either a hipster faggot or a pleb.
>>
>>7503385

That honestly just looks like a plate of heartburn.

jesus what did that non stick pan ever do to you? enjoy cancer.

All of that oil. Disgusting
>>
>>7502137
any country that isn't the USA is a 3rd world country
>>
>>7503401
Vietnamese is great because it combines the spices and ingredients of southeast asia with the technique of France. If you can't appreciate that, then you're probably some kind of shitty anglo.
>>
Romanian ftw

I never liked this when I had it. Maybe my Vietnamese friend's mom was just a terrible cook.
