Which foreign foods do you like? Which ones do you dislike? I love the taste of sushi, and Chinese food. I also like perogies, my grandma makes really good ones, and I love Mexican food. I don't like the taste of Indian food. I also don't like borscht, which is weird because I have an Eastern European background (on my dads side) and it is always served at holidays and family reunions, and my sister thinks I'm crazy for not liking it.

I love Indian food, African cuisine, and AUTHENTIC Mexican. (the Americanized stuff dumped with 5 pounds of cheese not so much)

I dislike Chinese food while I'm not much of a fan of some German cuisine. While I have never tried the food styles of the UK, it doesn't sound very appealing to me, either.

Chinese chicken balls, lemon chicken, fried noodles and that sweet red sauce are all great! As for the rest of the buffet it may as well not even be there.

In general I liked every kind of cuisine, I tasted until now: (Mediterrean, north african, creolic, all kind of asian cuisines, south american, mexican, ...) The only thing about all kind of cuisines I dont like is sweet-sour mixes. So Couscous with vegetables and raisines, or all that pseudo "Hawaii" stuff with Ananas on it, or sweet-sour asian dishes, are a no go. I love raisins and Ananas itself, but sweet stuff in normal meals, kills the taste for me.

After growing up with my Mexican grandmother's cooking, I am very picky about the quality of my Mexican food, otherwise I don't really don't care too much about foreign foods. I love all of it. I've even had Ethiopian and liked it.

Kung po sauce! I went through a period of eating nothing except chicken with that sauce.

My Indonesian grandmother cooks a lot of Southeast Asian food, which I really like. I like most foreign food, and I don't think there's anything I really dislike.

I think I like most foreign foods. I particularly like spicy food, such as Indian, Thai, Mexican etc. I have tried some Burmese, Ethiopian, Middle Eastern (maybe Sudanese), Salvadorian and Afghan dishes (all made by immigrants from those countries), too. They were all good. So I guess most foods from all over the world must be actually delicious. I like French, Chinese, Italian etc, too.

If anything, I don't like some unusual things such as snails (escargots), scorpions, some grubs etc. Not that I have tried them. It's more the idea of eating gross things that puts me off. Oh wait, I actually have tried snails without knowing I was eating them and they weren't bad. But when I was told that they were snails, I suddenly felt sick.
