What country? Me? Peru, easily.
I'm not quite sure why Americans are not familiar with Peruvian food but IMO it's the best food in the world. They have a variety of foods and their seafood is the best. Ceviche, there most popular dish, is something I can eat everyday. Probably my most favorite dish. It is raw fish cured in lemon or lime juice.
Their drinks, desserts, and fruit are the best in the world as well.
Has to be a dupe.. or am I crazy?!

just fucking kidding, I love it but it has a well-deserved reputation.
Come on now! I got to quite enjoy haggis while there. A great incentive to drink a lot of scotch. (Actually, modern haggis is pretty good but not as good as sticky toffee pudding!!)
One kind of food though...Italian. No second place.
Actually food in Edinburgh is excellent. Game and seafood are two of my favorite things and the country has both in spades, and there are excellent options from the former Empire (Indian in particular). And haggis done right isn't bad. But generally speaking it wouldn't be on the top of my list.
Peter get the recipe for the Peruvian Aji sauce and post it! I could drink that shit!! They never give the recipe here though!
I go to a Peruvian Restaurant in Queens Pio Pio on Northern Blvd. that shit is crazy good!
If the nationality limit includes beverage sources as well this becomes an immediately much more tempting option.
Gotta go with German. I'll miss the pizza, but I'm guessing they have some sort of melted cheese dish that will fill the void.
It has to be something with meat. not tiny little pieces of meat mixed in with 90% filler. meat. so brazilian might work, too. especially if the waitresses serve it with their brazilian wax jobs showing.

It has been said that the only distinctly American cuisine is barbecue. I don't know whether or not that is true. Certainly some regional cuisine, such as Cajun, draws heavily on outside influences but is distinctive.

is off the menu, since it is an amalgamation of other countries.... If not, sign me up for USA (especially since it is the food I am in all likelihood going to eat for the rest of my life)

How to define barbecue, seriously? They ate wine-soaked charred meats in the Illiad, so. . .
pizza here is only generically comparable to what is made in Italy. As was said on the other thread about 'best' pizza, no such thing as what a pizza is supposed to be. so, is the american pizza (pick your style) american or italian?
Is corned beef american, or irish (where beef wasn't corned, or popular, in the sense americans think)?
Hot dogs? an american invention, or just another form of sausage. and when does a sausage change from chorizo to keilbasa?
the list can go on and on.
If forced to pick, I'd probably pick Italy, so many reasons.
but if I got Vietnamese (my 2nd pick), American, Spanish, Greek, Portuguese, French, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Malaysian, Middle Eastern (just grouping all ME together), I wouldn't starve and I'd live happily ever after.
As long as it's not Indian.
I'm sure that I'd be trying to get some pizza or cheese burgers on the side though. lol
Or sushi.

I suspect it's the spice, curry, that you are not fond of. I dislike cilantro, it tastes terrible to me.
Amazing how everyone's tastes in food vary so much. I am glad that nice semi-crispy bacon is considered the best tasting food in the world.
but it's also the sauces they smother everything with.
the only dish I like is Tandoori Chicken, but the unusual reddish color of the chicken turns me off.
And thread over...
