The simpler style of French cooking is near the top of my list:

This lamb rack is the kind of style found very often in Modern Australian cuisine:

I love indian food. There are many nice indian restaurants in the city I live in. Generally when you're with other persons, you can order many plates of different dishes and choose whatever you like at the center of the table. I brought girls to such restaurants a few times on dates, though you have to make sure they'll like it ; some people don't really enjoy sharing dishes (even if you don't eat in the same plate). I never remember the name of the dishes (so many of them), but there are very few that I dislike. I especially like chicken curry.

I love arab food even more ; my favorite ethnicity in fact. Falafels, kebbeh, couscous, pita bread, hummus, baba ganoush, etc. When I was a kid, my neighbors were arab and had kids around my age. The mother was a housewife, and my parents made a deal with them so that my sister and I would eat there every dinner, instead of eating at school. I literally ate just about every arab meal that exists.

Even today, there's an arab market in my neighborhood where I go to about once every month to stock up on many meals : seasonned chicken, couscous, tahini, hummus, baba ganoush, etc. I can't really cook the more complicated meals myself though.

I love all ethnic foods, but one of my life-long favorites is the Czech bread dumpling with it's sweet and savory gravy, accompanied with liver dumpling soup!. I first had this delicious meal in Omaha, NE at this awesome little place called the Bohemian Cafe, specializing in Czech foods. (Images taken from their website - now I'm hungry!)

I've spent a lot of time traveling in the states, and really enjoy the different regional foods. Things like sugar cream pie and elephant ears from the Ohio valley, salt potatoes from New York, barbecue from the Carolina's, collard greens from the south. Horseshoes from Illinois, gumbo from Louisiana, and Gooey butter cakes from St. Louis. We have a lot of regional differences here.

There is no way to answer a type. Quality ingredients make the meal to me. I like almost anything if it is made well. I gravitate perhaps toward Greek, Italian, French, Thai, Indian, Middle Eastern, Japanese…Fresh ingredients and a good chef is what matters.

Have to agree with NickiC, it's the ingredients and the way it's cooked that's the key. I prefer the simplicity of some Italian dishes, linguine with clams a particular favourite of mine. But then, I'll occasionally have an awesome curry. The world's a small place, these days, luckily we get to experience some pretty terrific cuisines just about wherever we are smile
