Hmmm. I love Japanese food (I lurve miso), and tend to avoid Indian and Vietnamese. Too many flavors/textures happening at once.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

In general, I prefer the Indian aesthetic of WAY TOO MUCH ALL THE TIME (as seen in Bollywood and various masalas) to the Japanese aesthetic of spare purity (as seen in tea ceremonies and sushi).

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Amen! I mean, Huripa!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse, you should do what I do and just eat it (sushi it, I mean, not IT it) all the time. Then you wouldn't have that problem.
Well, yeah. But it gets pricey.

My house is so small that you could maybe put in a hidden mousehole if you tried hard. Or possibly a cat door between the kitchen and living room....

And, in a nutshell, the basic difference between the Hecubot and the juliana. (Though I still want to see the Bollywood remake of Fight Club.)

I love Japanese food, both teppanyaki and fresh sushi. And lots of Thai is exceedingly yummy to me, though my taste for the blazing hotness has decreased in recent years. But Chinese is hit or miss depending on how greasy/heavy it is, and despite several attempts I've hated Indian every time I've tried it. Only tried Korean once, but the taste/smell of kimchee convinced me never to try again.
Boy, my plan to eat a cheap homemade pizza tonight is looking much less appealing than it did before reading this conversation...

I'm extremely unfond of Thai food, somewhat less so of Indian (but still on the whole unfond), I can handle sushi only occasionally and when I'm in the right mood, but I love love love love love love love Chinese. Mmmmm.... soy sauce.

I also like crunchy vegetables, even if I don't eat as much as I should, and I adore broccoli, but not anywhere near as much as I adore asparagus and fresh, blanched string beans. Artichokes are pretty effin' good, too.

SA, how good is your credit? I think you're going to have a hard time with that anyway, but it would be a place to start.
Love Chinese, though I've had a hard time finding good places, love Thai, love a lot of Japanese, love Indian, haven't really gotten far in to Korean, though there's a really good place near me. Pricey, though. Vietnamese I tend to have the most issues with for some reason.
