What ethnic food do you think is the healthiest?

[Anonymous]

I'm curious as to what people think. I certainly don't know if there is a right answer, but I know it isn't American food.

Japanese

Just a guess

Food from the Caucus Mts countries. Emphasis on fresh, seasonal eating. Animals aren't pumped full of antibiotics.

I agree with Japanese, if we're talking Americanized-ethnic, as opposed to genuinely from another region/culture.

I'm the Japanese poster, and I agree with this. I was thinking in terms of "if I go to an ethnic restaurant, which would have the healthiest food?", not "if I go to a country, mingle with the ordinary people and eat what they eat on a day to day basis . . . ".

I'd add Vietnamese to the list.

American is a nationality, not an ethnicity.

I think (well, I hope) that pho is a relatively healthy choice. Now I am sure it is loaded with sodium but it is mostly broth, not that much meat.

Japanese is high in mercury.

Not quite. The saslokk (kebabs) are made from very fatty pieces of meat. I do like them a lot though.

If you are thinking sushi, not so with the sticky rice and salty soy sauce, even though I heart sushi, a lot. You can try sashimi with very tiny bit of soy sauce.
