Which country/region has the best food?

[Polari]

Trying to figure it out. It's really hard guys. For added difficulty name which country has the worst.

[Shadow Mod]

I honestly don't know. I've had good everything. Even English food.

[Polari]

Hang on I have a candidate for worst: Scotland. Black pudding is kind of nice but what's in it doesn't sit well with me.

[Polari]

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.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

Japan. No fucking contest.

[etiolate]

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.

[Positive Touch]

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.

Japan. No fucking contest.

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.

[Mupepe]

Do I have to choose a specific country or can I say Latin American food?

[Shadow Mod]

France, obviously.

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 assume most of it is basted in sweat from their unclean bodies

[TakingBackSunday]

Indian, Italian, Israeli, and mafuggin UK.  shepherds pie

[Positive Touch]

I'm pretty sure intestines are involved at some point.

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

Asking what country has the best food is like asking for a favorite color.  There is a right color for every situation.

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

[Madrun Badrun]

American Asians.  Make awesome tasty food and can construct a railway to boot. 

[Madrun Badrun]

Also, red. 

[Human Snorenado]

My uncle married an Italian woman from Naples during a tour in the Navy, and maaaaaaan.  They lived with us for a while because my uncle is a fuck up when the Navy is not giving his life structure, and her cooking...

[CrystalGemini]

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.

[tiesto]

Out of all the foods I've had, Indian is my favorite, and Vietnamese is my least favorite.

[Cerveza mas fina]

If I could only eat cuisine from one country for the rest of my life it would be:

Poland.

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

[Momo]

North Africa/Mediterranean followed closely by Korea and Japan

[Cerveza mas fina]

Oh regions are ok?

Europe.

[Cerveza mas fina]

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.

[Cerveza mas fina]

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 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)

[Polari]

New Zealand

[Phoenix Dark]

If Italy's food is half as good as Olive Garden I'd have to go with them.

[Brehvolution]

Any good Italian place is going to be better that OG and probably cheaper too.

Although, Zuppa Tuscana soup is with the bread sticks.

[naff]

New Zealand

hangi

But French cuisine is da best cuisine. Got a Daube on the oven right now.

[Verdigris Murder]

The US will eventually be taken over by Latino food, look to Texas. Firmly Repub, but the Latino gen pop are growing, and Demo just means more beaners.

[naff]

Out of all the foods I've had, Indian is my favorite, and Vietnamese is my least favorite.

I've never tried anything typically Vietnamese but this bourdain ep made me pretty keen to find a good Pho somewhere

vietnamese, thai, and filipino is all good

[Fifstar]

If I had to go with just one type of kitchen for the rest of my life, I'd go with Italy. 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.

Your check from the Italian Tourism Bureau is in the mail

This shit is so metal

[CrystalGemini]

Sheep head isn't bad.  Not a whole lot of meat though I like brain a lot and you get the whole thing when you buy a head.


It's not nearly as scary as it looks.

[Raban]

[Joe Molotov]

We didn't fight the Russians in WWII to have to eat things that's still got the eyeballs in it.

Fuck that shit

The lamb I had on the South Island was so good. I would go back just to eat lamb.

Plus Fergburger in Queenstown is awesome

[Positive Touch]
