I voted for others, having in mind Indian. You may think that Indian curries are not European, but then the Indian Curries served in the UK are generally not Indian. (One of the most popular, Chicken Tikka Masala, was invented in Glasgow.) And, the last time I checked, there were more Indian restaurants in England than Fish and Chip shops, which are often seen as quintessentially English.

In a similar spirit to @Ophiolite : When I visited my daughter in Germany, the best food we had there was at a Turkish restaurant. So, does that count as Turkish or German? (I checked "others".)
Well, half of Istanbul is in Europe, so Turkish cuisine is more securely in the list than my suggestion. :)

I literally like all of them except Croatian, only because I've never had it so I dont know.

English has that terrible reputation, I think due to tough habits coming out of war rationing. But I really do love a classic English roast and a lot of other traditional favorites when the ingredients are fresh and its prepared with care. And I dont mind so called "bland" when there are subtle flavors to be appreciated. Sometimes we can forget that main ingredients have their own flavors when all you can taste is spices.

(I do love the worlds spicy cuisines too tho.)

It goes back to the history of exploiting India for spices, tea, and opium. Your country fought wors to secure the pipeline.

Croatian. Now there's a new cuisine to me.

apparently it would be a good place to visit if your into a variety of food hehe. from what i read below

Croatian cuisine can be divided into several distinct cuisines (Dalmatia, Dubrovnik, Gorski Kotar, Istria, Lika, Međimurje, Podravina, Slavonija, Zagorje) each of which has specific cooking traditions, characteristic for the area and not necessarily well known in other parts of Croatia. Most dishes, however, can be found all across the country, with local variants.
