Any other culture/cultures?

Hi. Please help. I always thought that the noun that comes after the phrase "any other" is in singular, for example "any other person." Could it be in plural? Is this correct? Could we write the prepositions "about" and "of" before the word "desserts" in questions like the one below (assuming we use them correctly in sentences - I think each of them in a question like below carries a different meaning)?

Do you know of/about good food from any other cultures?

Plural is fine. Your sentence is OK. Examples: My mind is blank right now.

It can easily be plural. Going out with Albert again? Don't you have any other friends?

know of = be acquainted with; hear of
know about = have (detailed) information about
