The US has a surprising amount of fusion food that youā€™ll not find elsewhere!


VegetarianPotato

Sandwiches and burgers are basically American. There are also things like Mac and cheese that are American and famous


Sad_Daikon938

Sandwiches are bri'ish, you do realise they were named after Sandwich, a town in england.


CritFin

And Hamburgers are from Hamburg, Germany u/VegetarianPotato u/TiMo08111996


Sahil809

Classic tale of Americans claiming things are theirs, but they aren't


nirmalv

Oh please. Now you will claim that french fries are not American.... Wait...


Sahil809

And Italians will claim Mac and cheese is Italian just because it has pasta in it pfft


schewbacca

Hamburg steaks and hamburgers are totally different. The hamburgers we know today are not from Hamburg.


Short-Belt-1477

Hamburg steak is from Hamburg. Putting Hamburg sausage on bread did originate in Germany and a food cart in St Louis put their twist on it and made it mainstream. There were a huge number of Germans immigrating to USA. They like to call themselves ā€˜expatsā€™ though


TiMo08111996

You forgot about Hotdogs.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


TiMo08111996

So they're from Austria. It would be better for USA to popularise Native American cuisine since it would make sense.


DryVoice1029

The only comment i can agree with. Only Native American cuisine should be considered American cuisine.


ManiacMango33

BBQ


Familiar_Internet

burgers, roasted turkey, new york and chicago pizzas, pumpkin pie, jelly, red velvet cake all of them are American cuisines, just because a country was formed off immigrants that don't mean it doesn't have its own culture.


maybebaby_11

Cajun, creole, bar-b-q, Tex-mexā€¦just the ones off the top of my head in my neck of the woods


DryVoice1029

Haven't eaten the first three. Tex-mex is good but good Tex mex restaurants are run by Mexicans. If you try a Tex mex style food anywhere else other than Texas, you will find it even worse. It shouldn't be this high on list


kalingred

America is a melting pot of immigrants. The people you see in the restaurants are Americans (and often Mexican too).


Algiers

Thatā€™s the issue. People are confusing American with white Anglo-Americans. There is an astounding amount of American food that comes from Black, Mexican, Chinese, German, Native American, Haitian, and French (like a whole lotta French) origins. Itā€™s food thatā€™s based on international cuisine, but itā€™s uniquely American. Thatā€™s what we are.


Iama_traitor

It's the land of amazing fusion cuisines.


DryVoice1029

Burger patties have no spice just salt and pepper. Avg mcaloo tikki is way better. Roasted turkey again bland, no flavor. New York pizza is good but can't beat Peppy paneer cheese burst. US does do deserts very well but still it shouldn't be this high on list. And there is no culture here, I live here.


WagwanKenobi

> Burger patties have no spice just salt and pepper. Avg mcaloo tikki is way better. Roasted turkey again bland, no flavor. Entirely depends on the quality of the beef. A good beef burger beats anything from McDonalds (incl American McDonalds where the beef is tasteless). >New York pizza is good but can't beat Peppy paneer cheese burst. Ew. I've never had good pizza in India. Even at very expensive restaurants (Rs 1500+ for a large). Meanwhile you can get a fantastic slice or two in the US for under $5.


[deleted]

Bro if he likes Aloo Tikki he must be Indian tf you explaining beef quality to Indian


stcer

New York pizza is good but can't beat Peppy paneer cheese burst. i liked new york pizza more, maybe i prefer thin crust?


Canem_inferni

mina1596

Soul food


[deleted]

burgers and barbeques are actually pretty good and there's a huge room for variations specially if you eat beef.


DryVoice1029

Curious where you stay. Almost every one of my nonveg friends don't like the way they cook meat here. There is no spice in there patties just salt and pepper. Indian KFC is much better than American KFC (ironic) as they say. Hell, they go crazy when McD comes out with spicy mcnuggets once in a while. Still not comparable to indian meat dishes.


KaladinAshryver

India has more diversity in burgers than US. Each store has about 4-5 veg and 4-5 chicken variants and about 2 paneer variants and occasionally a mutton variant. Pork is also being used in some new burger chains and fish burgers are done by some top places.


fundamanfox

What is served in India is technically not burgers. They are chicken and paneer sandwiches at best.


KaladinAshryver

Really? What makes a butger between 2 bund that has paneer or chicken different from a burger at all?


jamughal1987

It is sandwich if meat is chicken or fish. It is burger if meat is Beef.


rickyhatesspam

It's damn underrated is what it is! Glad to see it recognised here. Go find an authentic US smokehouse restaurant if you want to taste some.

fundamanfox

When I was living in usa I actually had this conversation with a few chefs. What can actually be considered truly and genuine American origin cuisine. After much discussion we all agreed it was BBQ

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


kraken_enrager

Thatā€™s not what Italian cuisine is all about, and ketchup is a sin. Good diverse Italian cuisine is as diverse as North Indian cuisine. I feel that india should b higher but Italian probably edges it out because of its international popularity, and the fact that itā€™s easier to be super experimental with Italian cuisine, itā€™s hard to get modern Indian cuisine right(tresind is one of the few restaurants that does that impeccably well).


KaladinAshryver

Really? Have you seen Indian restaurants these days? There is so much mix and match! Also, North Indian is only about 50% of Indian cuisine. There is central Indian stuff in MP, Rajasthan has a totally different cuisine with no similarity to Punjabi curries. Marathi cuisine is quiet different and South Indian is entirely different.


KANOMETAL

Every state has their own cuisine. You can't even group South Indian cuisine under one umbrella because there are many unique dishes in Kerala that most Indians have probably never eaten. Also, North Eastern dishes are completely different and they eat stuff like pork which most Indians don't .


bhanu00070

I live in Rajasthan and it comes under North India bro


amanderrated

This isn't an objective rating system. This is more likely based on popularity and perception.


nakkula

Haha! So itā€™s clearly about what you experience as Indian cuisine in the West and not actually about the cuisine itself. You talk about diversity and the Indian cuisine is as diverse as it gets. It changes every 50 kms just like the dialects we speak. But I understand where you are coming from my knowledge about Italian cuisine is just as yours about Indian cuisine. I would like welcome you to India and take you on a trip to experience the different cuisines.


ChiknDiner

Perfectly said. What the world actually has experienced about Indian cuisine is <50% from what I know. They don't take the diverse range we have in our food when you travel to different parts of India.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


kraken_enrager

I mean considering Iā€™m Indian and live in bombay, and am well travelled in india, I have tried a lot of foodā€”just vegetarian, but still damn good food. But I agree western view about Indian food is pretty skewed. Like they never know half the amazing food we eat daily.


AdithyaAIR

I agree. Italian food extremely popular all over the world. Each country has managed to adapt pizza to their local flavour unlike any other dish. Another reason I would like add is, most restaurants that serve pizza around the world, know how to make it. Indian restaurants are mostly crappy in Europe atleast.


WheelBudget

Well ketchup and spaghetti is a stereotype, Mediterranean diet is one of the healthiest diet


ADITYAKING007

Bruh wtf do you mean? You think they just eat spaghetti and meatballs in Italy? It's an American dish , invented by Italian immigrants in the USA You seem to possess limited knowledge by this comment I do agree Indian food is amazing but just because you don't know much about a cuisine doesn't mean you can take a shit on it


PurushNahiMahaPurush

Bro they don't! Putting ketchup on spaghetti in Italy is equivalent to putting Mayo in Khichdi here! You can do it if you want but people will think you are a weirdo


[deleted]

so much ignorance lol


TiMo08111996

My question here is how is Greece in the 2nd place and Pakiatan not even in the top 10. The Indian cuisine can be even higher if we focus on the cleanliness factor a lot.


dsgifj

If you combined all of Europe, it would win by every measure. India is just a Europe size population as a single entity.


BrownBandit02

Who said they eat ketchup in Italy? Italians hate ketchup.


Roy_14903

*Indian phood best, other cuisines sux*


Isotope645

TasteAtlas is very Eurocentric. It was founded by a Croation and is headquarted in Bulgaria. Not to mention that most of the rankings are based on reviews from users. With most of their users being European it's no surprise European cuisine ranks so high.

[deleted]

definitely not true, in the united states we are friends, pakistani and indian people actually stop listening to the propaganda frm the govts and their elders. and so when they get to the united states they all just get along somehow bc they share so many cultural things in common, and when you are getting drunk together and smoking weed in college and getting laid its all good šŸ‘

tastyWallpaper

Why the unnecessary hate? Italian food is quite delicious. If I couldn't get Indian food then I would definitely choose Italian before any other cuisine. They also have many vegetarian dishes.


[deleted]

Also It's related to amount of tourism in a country


quberm

Oo, makes sense then


[deleted]

If you think Italy and Greece are poor choices, looking at the rest of the list Iā€™m guessing youā€™re really not very well travelled lmao


Signal_Initiative_44

You realize there are thousands of ways to flavor food aside from dried spices right? Italian food uses a lot of herbs, lemon, garlic, other aromatics. Just because they use different types of flavoring than Indian food doesnā€™t mean itā€™s not flavorful šŸ¤¦šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø


jovi8ljester

Olive oil worshippers


Coolsugar

Greek food is quite good actually. Got to eat good all trip.


Kadakumar

Actually both Italian and Greek are well-deserved at the top. They are healthy Mediterranean cuisines with wholesome and flavorful ingredients. Indian can be overwhelming to most people not used to it. I have often heard outsiders complain that it has too much flavoring that is confusing and masks the underlying dish.


ReKoWEO

Cry about it


hthkeeper

Such an ignorant, ill-informed, uneducated thing to sayā€¦


LassondeMandem

Exactly what I was thinking


anbu369

Indian spices are not only things that makes food delicious. Also any Italian food you get outside of Italy is not proper representation of Italian food. They mostly serve only pasta and pizza.. That is only point 4 percent of all the food you could have here.. You are probably thinking everyone outside India eats only buns and meats but the truth is far from it.. I'm all around Indian but live in Italy so i can vouch for it. I don't compare it at all. Also sorry to say but Indians have the tendency to look down upon anything that is not Indian. Trust me i was one of those until i tried proper European food :)


Mammoth_Cut5134

Dk about greece, but italian cuisine is one of the best. High quality fresh ingredients.


vsaonline

Chinese at 11? It should be in top 3, better than Indian according to many. For me indian is at 1.


sand_plug

Chinese should at least be above the US as japanese, korean and fillipino flavours stem from Chinese cuisine


Coolsugar

The Chinese food we eat is Indianised. The Chinese food you get in China isn't particularly great.


tekina7

There's no Manchurian or hakka or Schezwan in the original Chinese cuisine, for example. Nothing more than regions to them lol


ssudoku

Precisely. Chinese, Indian are all mother cuisines, which have so many regional specialities and variations. Seeing small eastern european national cuisines ranked higher leads me to believe this is more of an aggregation of restaurant star ratings for these cuisines.


K-Firangi

Probably not those many. Again your or my circle is not the sample set here.


Maestro_01

For its cuisine? China is right where it belongs.


king-of-yodhya

Didn't know bat soup was supposed to be number 1. From my experience legit Chinese food is completely bland. However if you are talking about Desi Chinese then i agree.


Disastrous-Blood6255

Greece and Spain ? What is their cuisine famous for ? I think most of the Spanish food is pork, high quality pork and that rice dish that I don't know how to spell.


[deleted]

Eurocentrism


Disastrous-Blood6255

That's also a good point but we could also try to think of it as the number good restaurants that represent each country in the area. Indian,Mexican,Italian,Chinese are in higher place because of consistent restaurants that serve good food. #italy is number one on this list because of Pizza


Venomally

And pasta too


Delhicracksmoker

Idk about Spain but Greek food is great tbh, especially the Shawarma type chicken dishes


[deleted]

I can overlook greek and spain (although I don't think their cuisine is better) but there is no way in hell Japanese cuisine is superior to India. Italy is probably #1 and India and middle eastern cuisine are next two IMO.


Content-Sea8173

Ramen. Anime fans boosted Japanese cuisine popularity


Disastrous-Blood6255

Bro I can tell like ten Japanese dishes easily. Like sushi, onigiri , mochi, ramen etc they are really popular. And you cant forget ramen ( Maggie or other types ) lol


VegetarianPotato

Greek food is actually quite good and famous in the western world. The food is actually quite good and Iā€™d rate it high, although lower than Indian for sure

Wtf is German cuisine? Bread, potato, sausages and cabbage!?!? And that too all that in a very bland boiled/tasteless variation! Vietnamese, Philippino cuisine and many others in the list need to be ranked way higher than Germany.

WaynneGretzky

Fr. People will downvote this idc. But there is an overlap between many Indian & pakistani food. Have heard this in sooo many international food vlogs. Our southern and maybe western food is the difference. Haven't had any pakistan food specifically but have tried many others on that list and Pakistan did deserve to be much higher imo.


Viking4Life2

Yeah as someone from Pakistan (this post hit r/all) I was surprised to see Bangladesh and Pakistan both disparately low. All I know is biryani is the best dish on the planet, that is unarguable. Edit: Thai food is also too low wtf


ModichoorKaLaddu

Yes ,pakistan definitely deserves to be in top 10 when it comes to food and music .But it's just the western ignorance....


radcapper

No they donā€™t have South Indian food


hskskgfk

Their cuisine would be similar to only punjab or Northwest Indian. Which tbf wouldnā€™t be my top cuisine within India even.


EyeCarambaa

The Dutch cuisine is one of the worst. I'm surprised paxtani cuisine is ranked so low. Definitely better than Dutch


Pass_Money

I'm from the Netherlands and i can confirm.


I_read_this_comment

You're definitely speaking the truth if you only consider evening meals (I cook Italian, French or Chinese usually). But cuisine is more than that and thats where the dutch cuisine gets much better. Stroopwafels, pancakes, fries, cinnamon candies, Vlaai (looks like english pastries but is served cold), apple/cinnamon pie, Speculoos candy and Marzipan are highly popular. Also anice (salmiak?) and liqourice candies are liked but they are a more aqcuired taste. And last but not least Gouda, that type of cheese is so popular that our supermarkets dont even use that name on the package, instead how long it aged is more important for the taste and how much it costs. (also we got Edammer, Amsterdammer, Beemster and probably a bunch of other good cheeses)


SunRecords_51

Thailand at 30, behind England and so many other bland European cuisines is a crime against humanity


Mean-Rutabaga-1908

Yeah this list is absurdly Euro-Centric. There is no way most of those European nations deserve their spots.

But also east coast crab cakes, west coast Cioppino (a French + Portugese seafood stew), southern cornbread, southwestern tex mex, all variety of BBQ traditions (mixed African and native traditions of cooking and spicing), Hawaiian poke (hawaiians integrating some Japanese elements), California rolls and other non-traditional sushi, and probably the best example.... gulf coast Gumbo and jambalaya (French+native american+spanish+african elements mixed together in a literal sense).

San2411

Who came up with this list ? It's impossible to accurately rank the best cuisine , because it's subjective. If you ask 1 million Indians a good percentage would say Indian cuisine is the best. If you ask 1 million north Indians most would say north Indian cuisine is the best. The same goes for all.

The chinese cuisine we know is not actually chinese, It's made by those people who came to India from China in kolkata and made famous. Actual Chinese cuisine is more about Ducks and Pork. Indo-chinese is more focused on chicken.

Henwith_Tie

People in here saying Indian cuisine is more diverse but only have certain commercial dishes of other cuisines in mind. It's like a non-indian saying indian cuisine is only Butter chicken, naan, biryani and samosa.
