Kate, I think the question is what foods don't I like, but if I had to pick a favorite, it would be Japanese. I love sushi, I love those hibachi restaurants where they grill right in front of you.
My dad was stationed in Japan in the Air Force, and he used to go to these Gyoza bars. Gyoza is a type of Japanese dumpling that is pan fried then steamed fried, and they give you this amazing dipping sauce made of soy sauce, rice vinegar, seseme oil, MSG, and crushed red pepper. Years later, my dad asked the owner of a local Japanese restaurant about the dumplings he had back in the service. He gave my dad the ingrediants, and we've been making it ever since. Let me put it to you this way...I've never not known about Gyoza, to give you an idea how long this wonderful food has been in my life...it's been in my life ALL my life.
I really like Cajun food, too. Especially jambalaya, which I have an awesome recipe for, by the way.
