1. Depends.

If we go to Carraba's we have the mussels and then I have the Pollo Rosa Maria. Yum!

I like spicy when it comes to Chinese and Thai, too.

American would be either a big ol' bleu cheese burger with bacon, onion, and lots of pickles or buffalo wings with, once again, tons of bleu cheese.

On edit: Love falfel wrapped in pita with hummus and a nice Greek salad with kalamatas and feta, too.

6. I'm usually in the mood for a nice, juicy burger.

I order that with steamed vegetables instead of fries.

Tonight I had grilled tilapia with mango salsa and half a plate of steamed vegetables - broccoli, yellow squash, and carrots. With that, I had a fine margarita.

Mexican: Beef and Cheese Enchidladas with Tamales and usually a beer or Margarita

10. Mexican: Spinach Enchiladas, at Mexico Real, they are the bomb!

other Mexican places I ususally order Nachos as a test menu item. If I like the Nachos, then I try something else. Or sometimes I will try the fajitas first.

Chinese: Always something HOT with lots of veg and either beef or chicken ..and the test menu item is hot and sour soup. I rate Chines restaurants by the Hot and Sour soup.

Indian: Chicken Tikka Masala or Beef Curry or the thing w/ all the vegetables.

Greek: Moussaka, or the Greek verson of Lasagne

italian: love the egg plant things and the veal things, anything picatta

American: give me a good steak anytime

so long as it has lots of lobster chunks in it.

And a small pitcher of white sherry to go with it.

Mexican - Fatijas or Enchiladas

Japanese - Yakisoba, California Rolls

American - Slab of beef. Salad.

Italian - Seafood alfredo.

I usually order chicken strips and a salad, if I don't like anything else on the menu.

14. Seafood...

because it's a giant waste of money for me to cook it at home. It ALWAYS sucks when I do.

18. For Chinese, I always order Hunan chicken with white rice

For Mexican, chicken fajitas. American: hot turkey sandwich or filet mignon, depending on whether the restaurant serves filet mignon. Hungarian: beef ghoulash. Polish: pierogi stuffed with kapusta. Thai: boar medallions with basil and that cucumber salad in the sugar water. Italian: chicken parmigiana.

19. I don't order the same thing anymore

Except I usually get the following at fast food:
McDonald's: Their BLT Ranch salad
Wendy's: Single hanburger with everything except tomato(it tastes like my grandmother's burgers did growing up)
Arby's: Chicken salad sandwich, although last time I got the chicken club and am thinking of trying other things
All other chain stores I alternate between a few things. At restaurants with a variety of things, I could get one of any number of things. I tend to prefer chicken as my meat of choice but have also ordered vegetarian stuff, steaks, and bbq ribs. I like rice, noodles, and salads too. It really depends upon my mood and how my stomach is doing.
