I tend to prefer taste over texture (texture can be a negative, but the lack of flavours is a killer). I also dislike chewy food, so most meat and European style crusty breads aren't really enjoyable. Given that context, I like the non Mughlai/Punjabi style Indian cuisines, and seafood heavy cuisines.
Picking three options is hard, but
Gujarati/Rajasthani
Bengali
Malvani
Other cuisines include Chettinaad, Kerala, Goan, Parsi, Sri Lankan, Thai, Portuguese, Greek.

Some famous person once said that when it comes to food there are only 3 countries in the world: France, Italy and China. I'd pick those as top 3. (Although I have to say, 2 of my best "eating trips" were England and New Zealand).

Because my tastes change too often, I can think of my current favorites:
mexican
chinese
italian
all Americanized of course, since I’m in USA :-)
I love white and brown rice, and we know their stigmas in China!
we know that polpette (meatballs) aren’t served on pasta in Italia.

And yes, fresh or dried pasta with truffle or jarred sauce or just pecorino cheese & pepper is fine italian cuisine. as is my own cheaper steak version of Bistecca Fiorentina, which still needs to be cooked before reaching medium.

I can get authentic in sf as well but Im fine with my Americanized standards. I really hated being in China / HK / Taiwan for fancy business meals and not having rice as part of the meal. It would have been really bad to ask for it. It makes the host look bad and it makes the guest look ungrateful.

If true, I doubt it would ever make my top 3 even though I'm sure I'd enjoy it.
