With very few exceptions, I like or dislike countries' cuisines wholesale, since they all draw from the same "palette" of flavors (and the exceptions aren't worth mentioning).
In general, I lean toward clean, fresh flavors (yes, I use A LOT of herbs and some spices). When I was introduced to genuine Mexican cuisine (both from a quite skilled northern Mexican and from Mr. Bayless), I nearly gagged. A pleasant surprise came from my introduction to my German heritage (3/4, woo!). When I started becoming interested in it at 12, I would have thought that I'd have rejected the numerous heavy, savory flavors. However, I've found that the combination of savory and sweet tastes (this goes for Swedish and Norweigian cuisines, too) really appeals to me.
How ya doing, buddy?
