Ice cream made me much more dealable. Whew! One hour til I can head out from work.

I don't seek out Asian.

Well... ::dons lecturer cap:: ...if you break it down to only sushi and Chinese, maybe that's why. What is it about Asian food you don't like?

Again, I say, peanut sauce.

Of course, I am a peanut butter whore, and I will actively seek out and eagerly eat virtually anything that's smothered in anything even vaguely resembling peanut butter (except prunes; nothing will ever make me love a prune).

You are right - it is Japanese. I am a horrible, horrible person and put Asian food into two categories. Chinese and sushi.

I was just curious. I've seen Asian mish-mash places. I'm enough of a nipponophile due to anime, video games and thinking samurai and ninjas are cool that it struck me as odd.

I am a bad person.

This is unpossible.

ETA: I like a bunch of different Chinese food. Can't stand sushi. Like some other kinds of Japanese stuff. Haven't had enough Thai to form an opinion (liked one dish I had, didn't like a different dish and that's it for my experience so far) and I don't think I've had any Korean, Viatnamese or other Asian foods.

It's a rare, rare day when I don't eat some form of Asian food. Life without Thai or Indian food? Not worth living.

Of course, I am a peanut butter whore, and I will actively seek out and eagerly eat virtually anything that's smothered in anything even vaguely resembling peanut butter (except prunes; nothing will ever make me love a prune).

I had a peanut butter and nutella sandwich the other day. It was Teh Yum.

Shit, now I really want Thai, and the truly great Thai place in our neighborhood has closed and been taken over by a mediocre sushi place. The merely adequate Thai place at the end of the next block down is still in business, but it feels wrong to settle for mere adequacy.

except prunes; nothing will ever make me love a prune

My prune & port quickbread begs to differ.

I need more good, convenient Indian. It's the one thing my 'hood seriously lacks. (There are places, but they tend to be sit-down, kind of pricey spots. Not take out joints.)

nipponophile

I beg the forgiveness of Japanese people everywhere for reading this as "ninnyphile".

I am very selective about my sushi likes and dislikes -- it's a stomach and/or texture issue for me much more than taste. Anything vegetarian, OK; tuna or fake crab OK in very small doses; anything else, no can do.

I find that I crave Chinese like junk food, whereas I actually enjoy Thai food -- sweet curries with mango or pineapple, especially -- in a satisfying way. I don't know if it's because the only Chinese food available to me has always been junk-food level; maybe Chen Kenichi could win me over on that front.

I have little experience with Korean tastes, but enjoy a lot of Vietnamese flavors. I love basil and lime juice together, which happens in a lot of the Vietnamese dishes I've tried.

I say all this as somebody who can't eat hot-spicy foods period, so FYI there's some variety to be had.
