It’s gotta be G. Soul food, Mexican, fry bread, bbq, all the fruits from that region, yum.
I’m not big on Asian foods, I enjoy them well enough but the only thing I’d miss in D would be Indian.

Context clues are telling me that this is relevant to my interests.
Please, good sir/madam, what is Chine-Mex? Is it what I hope it is?

I’m also cautiously optimistic, but I’ll be honest with you, it feels a little too good to be true.

I once ate at a place called Wok-A-Mole that served Chinese Mexican buffet, and had a mural of pandas wearing sombreros.
I hope it’s that, but with good food

Well, if we assume American-Chinese foods are based upon what’s available to make authentic dishes, then Chine-Mex is the equivalent for South US(border region mostly) and Mexico. Stuff like cilantro in egg rolls or avocado fried rice! Here’s a nice supplemental NPR Article: npr.org/…/the-chinese-mexican-cuisine-born-of-u-s…

Wouldn’t be a problem. G includes the West Indies places like Trinidad which has plenty of food that originated in India. So not the full list of all Indian food but it is perfectly real and not some crappy fusion restaurant knock off.
Results of the British colonial era bringing a lot of people from India after ending the official slave trade and still wanting people to work plantations. So they switched from literally slavery to the not quite but still awful indentured service. The British would get the lowest social groups in India that functionally couldn’t own property in India to sign contracts for many years of work in exchange for a 1 room shack and a micro plot of land of their own.
