Cuisine suggestions?!
The DW and I love food which is very flavorful and sometimes spicy, like Kung Pao Chicken or a good Mexican platter with hot salsa!. We'd like to try new cuisines which would have lots of healthy veggies, some meat, and lots of flavor!. Any suggestions on ethnic cuisines to try or particular dishes which we may enjoy which!? Any dishes at Chinese restaurants which are spicy, have lots of veggies, and some meat!. Kung Pao is the only one we've really liked so far!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
