  2. For the record, my favorite meat is venison. I like chili peppers but my wife and daughter don’t (except for ‘tamed’ jalapenos), so we don’t have chilis in food. I simply make a volcano sauce that I can use if I want. And my favorite cuisine is Native American, specifically, Cherokee.

    • I’m very partial to venison too, but it has become quite expensive in latter years, so I end up eating once or twice when in season. I’d love to know more about Cherokee cuisine. Perhaps you’ll make a post some time?

      • I can certainly write about Cherokee cuisine, though it would be multiple articles since our tribe ate and eats a lot of things. LOL Some of my recipes are highly biased due to Cherokee cooking influences. I just don’t think I’ve specifically written about Cherokee cuisine since I didn’t know that there would be an interest. Now I know. :))

    • That’s a good point, Nela. If you don’t use any herbs or spices, salt is the only way left to increase the flavour level, and too much salt can be quite deleterious to health.

  8. Interesting poll! I love spicy food but not too overpowering. I like being able to enjoy all the tastes and flavours of the dish. As for favorite cuisine, it’s hard to tell, but I avoid fried food and I prefer homemade dishes.

  9. Interesting poll. I cannot tolerate spicy foods, and am usually in the minority of any crowd. I will eat chicken but prefer salads, vegetables and fruits only. And desserts of course.

    • I do like spicy foods, but I like plain dishes too. I like food but I’m easy enough to please. However I wouldn’t give a thought to sugar disappearing off the face of the earth 🙂

  10. My favorite cuisine is Southern Balkan mixture of many cuisines. That means very spicy and tasteful dishes and too sweet deserts. If you saw some of Marija 64 recipes, you’ll know what I am talking about. It’s a mixture of Oriental and Mediterranean food with meat instead of fish. 🙂

  11. I love this topic. I prefer meals with more than one spice, but I can not name them all together. The hand does not hurt me a lot. I hope for a break to be able to visit my friends. I really like the fact that now that I see a profile I see normal size of the posts.
