I haven't time right now to construct my own list (it would take a lot of careful thought and best be done when I was not hungry) but I'm sure it would include at least one Thai, Indian, French, Spanish and Scandinavian dish....

>Two long time neighbors are talking. One of them complains that he has skunks under his porch that he can't seem to get rid of. "Here's what you do," his friend says. "Make a big platter of lutefisk and put it under your porch. That will get rid of them." The next time they see each other the friend asks if he tried the lutefisk. "Yes, and it drove away the skunks. But now I can't get rid of the Norwegians."

I've eaten in a few "world class" restaurants whose food tasted TERRIBLE.
