Japanese is virtually a "thai" . I could have gone either way between those two, but since I'm not a big sushi fan I went with Thai. But let me explain "American" as I'm sure that will annoy some people.

I realize that a lot of "American" cuisine is borrowed. But there are Americanized foods that I sometimes crave - a really great cheeseburger with melty American cheese, an Italian beef sandwich, a loaded Chicago-style hot dog, bbq slathered in Carolina sauce, an omelet loaded with so many things that you can hardly see the egg, etc. So I'll stand by that choice, even if a lot of those items originated in other countries.

Great idea for a thread by the way.
Regarding the "American" comment, I hear ya! While overseas, I do crave a NY slice and a burger quite a lot...but I crave künefe, kaki furai, and Baja-style tacos much more. Presumably, it's because I don't spend as much time in places where those foods are common.

By the way, what do you like about Japanese and Thai food?
