Mmm. Love Greek food. I was just thinking how it's too bad we don't have better ethnic food in the area, and Greek is one of the things I miss.
I can take you to have goooood Greek in Cincy.
I've eaten Polish once, and a friend turned to me, gestured at the plate and said "Isn't this why they left Poland?" It's about the only cuisine I've written off in majority. Most everything else has something I like or love. Don't even want to try again with Polish food.
Oh, man! You had the wrong Polish food! (I hate when people tell me that my experience was the "wrong" introduction to said experience, and yet here I am doing it.) But -- kielbasa! And pierogies! And more pierogies! And paczki!
(My family is part Polish, so I got to eat the good stuff, not the fried lard or beef tripe.

Or duck blood soup, which, hand to god, my mom routinely ate as a kid. They called it "chocolate soup.")

I've made my distaste for Slavic cuisine known, but Poland gets a pass for the pierogis. I was there for like three days and ate at the same pierogi place three times-- it was that good.

I'm a big fan of any kind of pouch-like food: pierogis, knishes, dumplings, wontons, Hot Pockets -- you name it.

Actually, a dumpling is more of a lump o' dough and not a pouch. But still yum, so I'll leave it on my list.
I had a burrito for lunch. Nom nom nom.
ita and Liese, come to Chicago!! We'll get you set up with some fabulous Polish food, and as for Greek food, well, we've got an entire neighborhood full! I was at Parthenon in August, and had some yummy lamb. And saganaki (flaming cheese--"Ooopah!") was invented here!

ALSO a pouch of sorts. Er, in that the tortilla holds in all the burrito-y goodness.
I'm about to have pumpkin pie!!
Well, Sox, she's working on it.

I think anything that involves dough is good.

Similar to pouch food... I'm a big fan of meat and dough -- meat pies, bao, etc.
