"Middle Eastern" is such a broad term. So many varieties across the region.

I stand by it. I've been to Egypt, Morocco, & Saudi Arabia and almost all the food I had was very similar to me.

I dunno. Asian food has far more variation and specificity than Middle Eastern.
When I want to eat vietnamese, japanese, thai......I expect something different. Asian countries within close proximity can taste very similar. The middle east is a smaller conglomerate of nations than Asia.

Is Egypt not in the Middle East?
Are they not all influenced by Arabic cuisine/culture?
I'm confused.

Egypt is on the African continent but it is considered a "Middle Eastern" country. Very strong Arabic influences like you said. Some form of Arabic is the most spoken language in Egypt. You are correct in your assessment.

Concur. But the French stuff I like tends to be really rich - a lot of cream and butter, etc., so I don’t eat it often. Rare treat.

Entirely possible, like you like Szechuan but not a fan of Guangdong style. I like all though.Including a region spanning 20 diff countries but gonna limit Mexican to the zip code
Clear bias here:
Jamaican - Especially in Jamaica, man nothing I've had beats these perfect mix of spices and flavor
Chinese - all region styles
Vietnamese
Greek - Any Mediterranean really
Mexican
Lots more though like Trini, Italian, Japanese, Turkish, Indian, Pakistan, Afghan etc etc

The Middle East isnt solely a continental geographic term colloquially. There are North African countries considered part of the Arab/Middle Eastern culture.

Duck confit is one of the few French dishes I've tried. So damn good.

It really is the polar opposite of Italian food despite the proximity (and small overlap)
The richness and complexity of a lot of French dishes keeps it out of the top for me but I always enjoy it
