Hypothetical-- you can only choose two cuisines to eat for the rest of your life. What might they be?
(media.piefed.social)
For me it's Indian food, but then... what else? Ugh... what a question.
Bah. My mind is a whirling blank right here. I mean, freshly-prepared tiradito right off the boat is like... ffff, like tasting heaven.
I mean, I've never had *truly* fresh, truly authentic sushi, but I imagine it would be like tiradito? (note: it's a form of ceviche, i.e. latino lime-cooked fish slices)
Italian and Mexican. That covers about 50% of my diet already.
Indian and italian
Indian food is great because it packs tons of flavor with minimal calories

Middle Eastern and Middle Eastern (I should probably give other cuisines a try). There's a lot more to this stuff than shawarma, y'all.
Italian and Japanese
Does "American" count as a cuisine? 'Cause it encompasses just about everything else, as long as I don't need it to be "authentic."
Excellent choice. I hope you're happy with barbecue, fast food hamburgers, and all-day breakfast.

stir fry and pizza
Cajun, and I could stop there. Cajun food is hands down the best of the Southern US foods. Then it's a toss up between Mexican, Tex-Mex, or Greek. I might have a thing for spicy meats/fish and flat breads
Japanese and Mexican for the sake of the question. It's what I grew up eating, and I hate the idea of being without my familiar comfort foods.
Truthfully though, I love eating too much to limit myself regionally or to just two countries. There's so much I haven't tried.
Japanese and Mexican I think.
Italian and Vietnamese. I’m from neither of the places, but their food is so much better than anything we’ve got.

Mexican food and Chinese food - that should cover me pretty good. RIP Italian food, sushi, Indian, and American french fries.
Initially I thought French and Chinese, but I love pizza so much, and Greek food is so delicious too.
So, I found a compromise: Mediterranean and Chinese 😋
Japanese & Mediterranean.
Thai and Iranian. That'd cover a large spectrum of what I like.
Take the meat parts out and I'll eat almost anything.
Like my in-laws.... Hmmm here's a great new hummus and salad! Yeah we sprinkled chicken, pork, beef, and shrimp powder and other meat products. It doesn't change the flavor, we just like gout so much.
Perfectly good meal + smear some dead animal on it.

My local one and either Japanese or Chinese. These folks have nailed it, but I still want to eat something familiar as my staple.
Italian: I can still eat pasta, rice dishes, cheeses, drink bomb coffee, have I memtioned pizza? & let's not start with desserts.
Thai: I can get all the spices and sweetness of SEA food.
