Wish it were multiple choice, I can't decide between Greek and Italian food.

It's hard to decide...but I think I'll go with Polish food.

My personal favorites are of course pierogi, bigos (stew, with all sorts of meat, cabbage, onion mmm..), golabki (cabbage rolls), and I love the soups, no other soup even comes close to our thick and unique soups. Szczawiowa (sorrel) and zurek (white barscz) are my favorites, among many others.

There is also czarnina (blood duck soup) which is supposed to be great, but I have never tried it myself. It can't be bad, since kaszanka (blood pudding/sausage) is just buckwheat with blood, and really quite tasty.

Flaki (literally means 'guts', or tripe soup) is a national favorite, yes, I know it sounds disgusting, but it's delicious.

As for kielbasa, there are many different types, not just one 'Polish sausage'. Meats, and cold cuts especially are to Poles what cheese is to the French.

Really hearty food. Intestines, blood... yummy!

There are many more dishes, these happen to be my favorite at the moment.

Italian is my non-Polish favorite.

Well since it's not multiple choice I voted for Greek food too. Feta, dolmades, tzatziki, smoked eggplant salad, saganaki, spinach pie... ah! Need. Food.

German and Portuguese are my favorites, but the others are good too. Irish is delicious, especially considering Guinness as a favorite food group.

That sounds nice, actually.
Still unsure about the Balkan "black magic" though
