What are all the ethnic foods you've ever eaten? (lemm.ee)

There are some exotic foods we tend to take for granted exist. Almost every city for example has a Chinese restaurant, a Mexican restaurant, and maybe an Outback Steakhouse. But this isn't universal for some reason. Someone asked me if I wanted to go to an Egyptian restaurant and I was like "wait, they have restaurants?"

A question for all those who would say they consider themselves ethnically fluent. What are all the cultural categories of food you've had?

I've had buffalo wings, and American barbecue. Also I've been to American Thanksgiving meals with weird things like sweet potatoes with marshmallows on. So I've had some American ethnic food for one thing.

I was invited to a thanks giving dinner one year.... The marshmallow on sweet potatoes thing is truly weird, pumpkin pie was ok, the rest was quite nice.

No American dinner? Or American sushi? =)
