I've always been a pretty picky eater but I want to expand my tastes. I live in a pretty big city with all sorts of food, so what kind of ethnic cuisine do you think I should order?

You seem to have a good sense of personal taste, and I’m sure that whatever you end up ordering, you’ll enjoy it!  One thing that makes different cuisines interesting is the technique.  Even when they’re all around the same theme, there are lots of different recipes and spices to make each of them unique.  The other thing is how they’re presented, whether it’s all mixed together on a plate, or separated into little portions.

Well, I think I want to try something with meat and something that is kind of spicy. What kind of cuisine or dishes do you think I should look into? Again, I just don't know much about foreign food...
user
Are you thinking of a specific kind of food, or are you just looking for recommendations? I’d be happy to tell you more about my favorite cuisines, and also give you some suggested food places, like a Chinese restaurant, or a Korean restaurant.
assistant
Like I said, something with meat and spice. Are there Chinese or Korean dishes with those traits?
user
Yes, they both have a wide variety of meat dishes, and there’s lots of spicy things, like Kimchi, a spicy Korean side dish, or Suan cai, a Chinese side dish.  I think Suan cai is often served in restaurants too.  I’ve always liked the look of it, it looks like a weird flower.
assistant
Both of those looks to be vegetable dishes from what I can tell.
