What are they outraged about? Indian food is freaking awesome and so varied.
A lot of people I've talked to are also misinformed about Turkish food only being take away but they have so many beautiful dishes. Greek food is also phenomenal.
Usa, Peru and Germany are over rated on this list. Serbian at 25 should be higher than Croatian. Hungarian is also better than Croatian.
Georgia, Romania and Thai are all under rated. Lebanon at 40, Ethiopia at 55 and Colombia at 71 is absolutley ridiculous and the best BBQ I ever had was made by Syrian friends, greatly under rated cuisine as well.
Overall rankings are pretty off.
i agree that the rankings are 'pretty off.'
'murican food is the absolute best. so scary good that today, in certain parts of the globe, countries and cultures are actively working to
prevent it's emergence locally. ya know, southern fried chicken, burgers, pizza as popularized here, peanut butter, mayo, ribeyes, swordish, fried cod, dungeness crab, apple pie, ice cream, hot dogs and beans, clam fritters, iceberg lettuce (that's a newer one), roast turkey, roasted peanuts, potato chips, mac and cheese, crab cakes, chicken nuggets (gross), chili con carne, fortune cookies, reubens, pot roast, meatloaf,
sub sammiches, pecan pie,,,,, here's a list
Eat Local in the United States of America
and of course, it's a complete swing and miss putting Lebanese food way down, since the honest food historian knows how foundational it is, with a complete spectrum of dishes from an appetizer to a dessert.
they are correct in elevating Japanese food to the top, and widely placing most asian cuisine not anywhere near the top, cuz, as often stated here, it's mostly bowls of slop. i wouldn't necessarily place Indian in that insulting categorization as they do have a few tasty wrinkles, but i also don't see epic and global broad distribution for an Indian brand of food franchising, like kfc, pizza hut,
McDonalds, ....
no wonder some places are making laws prohibiting 'murican food.
doesn't matter, it's already over.
the people have spoken!
and, all, please spare me the 'health' discussion on our food. that's a u problem, not an us problem if u can't eat in moderation.
twinkies, french fries, Texas bbq, Carolina bbq, ....
personally, and since day one, my numbah one fav thing to eat (hey china! where's the bread? hey world! where's the beef?) is *quality American cheese in a white bread sammich. mayo optional. numbah two is prolly the classic iceberg, tomato, and cucumber salad, served cold. yeppers, give me a meal of murican cheese sammich, that salad, and mebbe a ring ding for afters, and i'll be good every single time. kale tastes like butt, and milk comes from a cow, not an almond.
ketchup (catsup?), Buffalo wings, key lime pie, eggs benedict, bbq ribs, banana split, .....
one of ours not to be proud of is this mania of chicken and cheese. chicken parm was not created in Italy, even with their outstanding history. they find it gustatorily abhorrent. me too, and yet the chicken and cheese sammich grows exponentially here, and will soon hit the globe. hard. sad.
no other fresh thing with refrigeration turns so foul so quickly.
budweiser, coca cola, tunafish salad with mayo, corndogs, cranberries, blueberries, maple syrup, ....
*quality 'murican cheese. loosely, not the stuff coming in individual plastic wrap, tho i'll gladly eat that too if that's my only option. they've managed to make a pretty good one on that 'cheddarish' kind when used for melting.
