Authentic Chinese is disgusting, can't believe anyone would want that garbage. Give me the europeanized any day of the week.

Any major city can give you a wide variety of authentic food though, including New Orleans.

Yeah, everyone knows about Ethiopian food. It was a food fad in the major cities awhile back, hell I think they even joked about it on Seinfeld or some other comedy in the 90s.

My background is Scottish. After haggis, there's nothing about real Chinese food that can scare me. We've also got a tonne (Metric) of authentic Vietnamese restaurants, that could scare a northern Chinese with the ingredient list.

Nothing scares me, I am part Cajun. It's just not appetizing or remotely good. I have no issue with fear factor food. LOL

I rather like Vietnamese tripe soup, actually.

Don't know never really tried it to wear i can say i have had the real stuff, just speaking of Chinese. My parents lived there for several years.

My hometown has a very large Vietnamese population, so I am sure you could find good quality Vietnamese around New Orleans.

They are very big into the shrimping business.

I could go for DQ's Jalito's. Wish they made those in Ohio.

French, Creole, and Vietnamese are pretty much a given down there, I would think. Now what about British pub fare, Scottish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Iranian.........

Haven't ever looked for Iranian and Scottish, but the others are all safe bets.
