Jesus guys, we aren't even off the first PAGE yet! Part of the reason I love this forum.
Anyhow, I'm a big fan of Burmese food and Ethiopian. Also Dim Sum, a kind of authentic chinese.
The Burmese place I went to was in northern Virginia and it was absolutely amazing. It's like a cross between Thai and Indian, with a hint of Vietnamese. Brilliant salads, stews, curries, and all sorts of dishes. They had such a varied menu that I can't begin to list it all, but it was the one place I could go to where I literally could not find a thing I didn't like. (Except their idea of a dessert. It was like a sundae with rice noodles and pepto bismol. I think they didn't understand it was supposed to be an after dinner treat) I've only found that one place, but if you can find something similar I can only hope that it is as good. And if you live in Northern Virginia and like ethnic food, for the love of god go there.
Ethiopian is another Indian inspired cuisine, in fact when I treated some Indian friends to it they commented on a good deal of the similarities. Must be due to the trade routes way back when. Anyhow, it's a pleasure for all the senses, and traditionally comes on a communal plate with a type of bread that's similar to a sourdough pancake instead of utensils. You pick up the food (traditionally mostly vegetables, great for vegitarians) with the bread and eat it. Seeing as how all the food on the platter is on another large piece of the bread, you get to eat that as well when you're done. At the end of it all they have a special kind of coffee, infused with spices, which is absolutely wonderful. Just don't drink too much! It's incredibly strong and you will be up all night. Beware, because you eat with your hands they will smell wonderful until you wash them a few times. People will think you're weird for smelling your fingers.
I'm a big fan of spicy, cultural food. I'll save the rest I love for another time.
