Title: Which country/region has the best food?
Post by: Polari on August 08, 2013, 08:22:28 PM: Trying to figure it out. It's really hard guys. For added difficulty name which country has the worst.

Post by: Shadow Mod on August 08, 2013, 08:24:25 PM: I honestly don't know. I've had good everything. Even English food.

Yeah. Maybe I'll phrase it like this: if you could only eat one for the rest of your life, what would it be?

I'm tempted to go with Italian as I can't really be doing without pizza.

Post by: etiolate on August 08, 2013, 08:31:51 PM: Russia has been real hit or miss for me. There's some Russian foods that I love, but at the same time, I've had some really bland dishes from Russian restaurants.

Middle America has some really bland food. Both my grandparents are from the central part of NA, and they cooked some of the blandest food I've known.

I am sure someone will come in and tell you Hong Kong is the food mecca. Southeast Asia also has the same sort of port town combo of culinary styles. Your Mediterranean line of France, Italy, Greece and Spain is all pretty much international staples by now.

Probably Chinese or Indian. Most people just eat the same greasy Americanized Chinese but I've had all kinds of different dishes from each region thanks to friends families. Indian has such a vast range of spices utilized. God damn.

Post by: Positive Touch on August 08, 2013, 09:11:04 PM: yeah if indian food was more affordable here i'd eat it for every fucking meal. some good heavy-ass american food is amazing tho, aside from the part where it kills you.

WERD.

Japan has the best food.

No land, no personal freedom, difficult personal expression, low birth rate, and bureaucracy out the wazoo, but plenty of great food everywhere.

What do French people actually eat? I know it can't be all baguettes and escargot.

A lot of julia child recipes are based off French cooking.

I had shepherd's pie. It was good. Although I don't think I'll bother to try jellied eels. Looks awful.

Also wtf isn't there any pictures in this thread holy shit people.

Post by: CrystalGemini on August 09, 2013, 12:09:40 AM: Even in this day and age you can't get most regional cuisines everywhere. That and most ethnic foods are butchered and bastardized to all hell to appeal to target markets. It's hard to say what is best when most people haven't tried a lot of food they way they were meant to be eaten.
Title: Re: Which country/region has the best food?

Not saying its my fav even but if till my dying day I could only eat food from one this would be it.

Post by: Cerveza mas fina on August 09, 2013, 10:07:56 AM: You don't have to spice everything so heavily if you make it yourself, as long as you keep the flavour.

People where always raving about fish in Goa though, I tried it in many places and it was always meh.
Title: Re: Which country/region has the best food?
Post by: Cerveza mas fina on August 09, 2013, 10:56:57 AM: I agree but you don't need to make a lot of it, know what I mean? :)

If you make a good masala it will complement whatever you are eating it with too. Ofc this works best with strong meats like lamb.

My fiance made some wicked masala this week man :drool It's the only Indian dish we know how to make cause we took a cooking course in India (well we know how to make chapatti too)

Fantastic ingredients, great herbs, overall very varied food, can be both quick or long elaborated meals, stuff for just sitting outside living the good life like antipasti and wine but also comfort food for winter and shitty weather, great desserts, coffee culture, great meat, fish or vegetable dishes... Italy has it all.
