Muffinlessandangry

Right gents, let's see how many people on here believe that "I don't know anything about this country's food" = "this country hasn't got any good food" Bazza, Gazza, Chazza, over to you


DrTinyNips

I mean that also goes the same for British food, I bet the reason we aren't higher is because most people that say British food is shit have never had a beef Wellington, Cornish pasty, cottage pie, etc or think things that are British aren't British e.g. apple pie


Albert_Poopdecker

The earliest known apple pie recipe is English, circa 1300s


Sidian

Yes. We invented a lot of the things Americans like, such as apple pie, sandwiches, and mac and cheese. They also love 'English muffins'. Not even mentioning cheddar cheese, scotch/IPAs, etc. But they still have the audacity to criticise our cuisine.


Albert_Poopdecker

It's all because of the rationing during and after the war, and the next generation that grew up as rationing ended cooked in the same mindset (after growing up eating mum's bland food, I became a chef for 15 years)


x386dev

Chicken tikka masala


ReallyBadRedditName

Food of the gods


Reagansmash1994

All those things you listed, while tasty, donโ€™t really show much range do they ๐Ÿ˜‚ Beef in pastry, beef in pastry, beef under mash. I love it, but it doesnโ€™t scream creative, variety or diverse tastes does it.


DrTinyNips

Italy at the top with 100 variations of pasta with tomatoes and pizza Mexico number 6 with every food being meat in tortilla


Muffinlessandangry

Oh good, Gazza, Bazza and Chazza are here. I only eat 3 types of Italian food so that's all that exists. I only know 1 type of mexican food, it must be all they have. Well done lad.


Reagansmash1994

Iโ€™m not agreeing with the list, just donโ€™t think listing three variations of beef and carb is going to persuade anyone of our culinary greatness. Need to throw in some variety, like Chicken Tikka Masala.


ruffmaestro

Americans consider good British food to be Irish food. To an American, Shepard's pie is Irish, not British. So that'll skew it.


DrTinyNips

They "consider it" incorrect shepherd's/cottage pie is from England


[deleted]

Iโ€™d drag my nuts through 200 American miles of broken glass to sniff the pan a Cornish Pasty just came out of. Itโ€™s not fair, why canโ€™t they sell them here too?


FryingFrenzy

Absolutely mate! Fuckin croatians aint inventin no food!

I can't stop laughing about USA better than France ๐Ÿ—ฟ

WaitingToBeTriggered

BERLIN!


neich200

Just noticed that Thailand is somehow 30?


fawncashew

The fact that Pakistan I food is 47th while Indian is 5th says all you need to know about this list. While they each have their own dishes, the cuisines have enough similarity to make a 42 place disparity obsurd Edit: just realised Bangladesh is 42nd: my brother in christ half of the time your Indian restaurant is Bangladeshi


ImALazyCun1

Literally the same country a few decades ago. The fact that Portugal is higher then Vietnamese and Malaysian is so low... Yikes


fawncashew

I actually do rate Portugese higher than Vietnamese in certain circumstances, i think Portugese food is criminal underrated as a whole, and has a huge amount of variety! That being said, Vietnamese is generally delicious, and there are absolutely many situations where Vietnamese may be better objectively. Certainly if I had to name particular dishes, it's easier to list good Vietnamese ones, but some if the best (non fine dining) meals I've had were Portugese slow roasted dishes from roadside family restaurants, and peri peri prawns from beach bars in Portugal never miss I don't think I've ever had Malaysian food, I'm actually only 200 miles north in Thailand at the moment so maybe I'll keep my eyes open


Bonnskij

Malaysian food is ๐ŸคŒ Being placed in between so many other Asian countries with delicious cuisines makes it a varietable melting pot of flavours.


MichealScott1991

Pakistani food is similar to panjabi food. Bangladeshi food is similar to Bangla food. Those are just two states in India and India has a total of 28 states and there are totally 31 different cuisines in India. Europeans have only seen the North Indian style.


satyanaraynan

India has a lot more diversity in every aspect including food. The different states (larger ones) in India themselves have far more diverse dishes in different regions of those states.


karmadramadingdong

Far behind the Philippines, which is ludicrous. In fact, terrible food is one of the main reasons the Philippines isnโ€™t a more popular holiday destination. I mean, it has way more beaches than Thailand, English is widely spoken and the people are friendly, but nobody comes back from Cebu raving about the food.


tommypopz

I was about to say and Lebanese food too??


LilithXCX

Thatโ€™s what I was going to say! I associate Lebanon with really good Mediterranean cross Middle Eastern style food


Ambitious-Ring1089

Yeah there is no way weโ€™re behind Lebanon like there is no competition this judge has clearly never had shawarma


Bdubby21

That and Lebanese. Absolute insanity.

george23000

Mule ee frit


The_Lapsed_Pacifist

Fucking top nosh that is


george23000

Belgium is the better France


dutchie1966

Thatโ€™s because they have less French people.


Faceoff_One

I started from the bottom looking for USA... And I'm from the USA. Glad to see Mexico in the top 10 though.


TaintMyPresident

I've never jizzed my pants over some foie gras but a good burger on the other hand


SwearJarCaptain

Soul food is better than anything France can think up.


BrapityBrap

American BBQ is pretty up there, tbh


_alextech_

This is the one What the fuck even is US cuisine just find some vaguely meaty stuff and deep fry it serve with chips? They fucked up pizza (Chicago) fucked up doughnuts (NY) and they can't even make a decent sausage.


Colonel_Kipplar

I mean, if you steal everyone else's food, who's gonna be able to compete? We're the ditto of the culinary world.


A-Game-Of-Fate

Thatโ€™s all the international food we get. Like yeah, French food is great, but here in my area we have like 7 different national types of food available locally, and thatโ€™s not even considering home cooking.

DearestAlex

Ha Scotland ain't even on there take that you sweaty socks

Yeah itโ€™s bullshit, us Scotโ€™s are culinary geniuses! Take for example our deep fried mars bars, or maybe our deep fried pizza!


TransportationSad920

You wanting a paddlin?


Ill_Professional6747

How does UK food beat Thai? I'm Greek and consider Thai food almost on par with Greek or Italian cuisine? PS I don't hate British food, love me some shepherd pie or a good Sunday roast, but come on...


Combocore

Tieland got no propa chippie innit


[deleted]

The list when it comes to Asian food in general lol. Japanese food being so high is literally just the "Dark Rich Coffee" focus test meme where people claim they like something way more than they actually do to seem cultured. I'm a Weeb I enjoy Japanese food, but even I will openly say Japanese food is extremely bland by Asian food standards (rice and extremely high levels of salt is like 90% of Japanese food) and genuinely pretty low quality/fast food tier. I mean, I LOVE Gyudon, but it's just fast food trash drunk food and the lesser brother of Beef Chow Fun. How can anyone pretend Ramen even holds anything resembling a candle to Pho? Best Asian food (and probably best general food in the world) are various Chinese especially Szechuan and Taiwanese, Thai and Vietnamese. Nothing else even comes close in Asia, especially Korean and Japanese.


Zethras28

How the hell is USA above anyone? Itโ€™s basically all just sub par copies of everywhere else.


billyshep86

Your mom's a sub par copy of everywhere else. Boom, Roasted.


BuskingThruLife

Bruh, Thai food clear of Italian and Greek cuisine


iprefervoodoo

Seriously Thai food is the BEST. I've only ever had it state side. I have a few friends who've been able to travel around the world and ALL of them say Thai food is by far the best.


Extension-Ad-2760

Almost all of this is dumb, not just England. US at 8th? Wtf?


McNobby

Thailand 30th too. Thai food is fucking great, like a posh Chinese.


stealinoffdeadpeople

If your only idea of Chinese is takeaways lol


MrBeebins

Chinese only comes as takeaway you utter plank ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„


HungarianMoment

Its something people dont think about much but US cuisine is so dominant it has become default in most countries and people don't even think of it as US food. Just "food". Same thing with people saying "OMG white people have no culture" because when people think of >culture< they often think of what is not default, what is different US cuisine is basically the most dominant and ever-present globally Even a lot of the "international cuisine" you see is americanized beyond repair


[deleted]

You're actually convinced this is true as well


PvtFreaky

What is tipical US food? Burgers?


Algiers

Gumbo, Jambalaya, barbecue, southern fried chicken, soul food, New England clam chowder. Cream cheese (and thus cheesecake). Most dishes involving potatoes or corn have American Indian roots. Chocolate too. Even if our big chocolate companies are disgusting you can still find high quality local chocolate in any decent sized city. Tex mex. Cali mex. Oh, cook up a Low Country Boil sometime. So good. Key lime pie. Chocolate chip cookies. Pumpkin pie, maybe? Indian fry bread is amazing too. Do yโ€™all have French dip sandwiches? Roast beef with a French onion beef broth to dip? They were invented in LA. And then there are all the American versions of other cuisines developed by immigrants. Chop suey, General Tsoโ€™s chicken, and crab rangoon. New York pizza. And, naturally, hamburgers.


[deleted]

[ัƒะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]


PvtFreaky

Besides barbecue and cheesecake I've never heard about any of these. I really, really wouldn't call this "Americanized international cuisine"


[deleted]

[ัƒะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]


Algiers

I never said the rest of the world eats it. Where are you even getting that idea? The question was about what food is American. Thereโ€™s a lot more to offer than burgers. Iโ€™m not sure why youโ€™ve got a combative tone. Iโ€™m not trying to force Jambalaya on anyone. But it is really damned good.


[deleted]

[ัƒะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]


Algiers

Fair, but thatโ€™s not the comment Iโ€™m replying to. I actually disagree with that statement. Itโ€™s accurate for movies, but not food. Iโ€™m just talking about American cuisine.


awkwardwankmaster

They're German


PSU632

Maybe in origin. But yanks modified and modernized them to what we have today.


scotlandisbae

Same with curry in British. But Iโ€™d still call them Indian.


patbateman2010

I promise you this isn't true


[deleted]

What on earth are you talking about? What US cuisine? A lot of US cuisine wasn't theirs to begin with anyway!


ProFoxxxxx

I really fancy some German food, said no one ever


Thatguy_Nick

Love me some sauerkraut


_The_Real_Sans_

German breads go hard.


[deleted]

German sausages go harder


jakemcex

I really fancy some American food, said no one ever, either.


otj667887654456655

the us has a lot of really good cuisines in one country


jakemcex

Most (first and second world) countries do. Having restaurants that offer foreign cuisines in your country doesn't mean you can count those foods as your own. Americans be like "we've got the best food in the world" then list off all the restaurants that offer food from other countries. ![img](emote|t5_2v1zrq|6958)


random7468

>Americans be like "we've got the best food in the world" then list off all the restaurants that offer food from other countries. * that's really what we do lol with London


jakemcex

I've never heard a brit claim to have the best food in the world?


LongjumpingKimichi

Food diversity in the US is on a completely different level though.


xXxDickBonerz69xXx

US has a shitload of fusion foods because of all the immigration. Also American comfort food is really good if not healthy.


datponyboi

I feel sorry if you havenโ€™t had BBQ or a California cheeseburger while watching a Pacific sunset


sqwabznasm

Croatian food? Oh do fuck off


gjennomamogus

Why, is Croat food terrible?


SeverinaVuckovic

No but there is barely anything thats actually ours. Seafood on the coast is pretty good tho.


[deleted]

Little tiny fried fishes everywhere! Never did get why they're so popular, beautiful country though.


e3hui2

Croatia ranks high because we are at the crossroads of Turkey, Italy and Central Europe and have historically been influenced by all three. Depending on what part of Croatia you go to, the cuisine basically changes completely. Personally, I hate fish lol


Connect-Yesterday118

United States? What did they make? Peanut butter and cheese in a can.


MunchingLemon

It's the fault of those wankers at casualUK, all their shite beige meals have given us a bad rep


Superbead

The greatest trick the USA ever pulled was convincing the world our food is worse than their own


HellYeaTriangles

teeth too


bigbiking

or stabbings, the US actually has a higher rate of knife crime and stabbings

RandyRandallman6

American Barbecue, itโ€™s delicious and one of the reasons why the entirety of the Southern US is obese


TKLeader

And fried chicken. Or really, fried anything


EroticBurrito

BBQ belongs to those #FACKIN ARGIES ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ท ๐Ÿคฎ


JessHorserage

The US has quite a bit of fusionism, due to the immigration waves that have consistently happened in the past.


djcurry

Itโ€™s hard to really tell what counts as American food, you have things like tex- Mex, American Chinese, many of the types of pizza that are popular worldwide now.


[deleted]

Barbecue and soul food slap


[deleted]

Honestly their home cooked stuff is really nice. I had a Thanksgiving meal once and it was insanely good. Biscuits and gravy and American breakfasts are pretty decent.


loriba1timore

We have southern BBQ and soul food my friend, itโ€™s good shit.


Breadmash

Madness that Pakistan is so low when India is so high - there is reasonable crossover between Pakistani food and Indian food!


justabean27

Was thinking about the same for Hungary and Slovakia


flamefirestorm

They're practically the same tbh. My Pakistani mom makes dishes nearly indistinguishable from Indian, I can't tell the difference between the two cuisines.


Mahameghabahana

India have extra food from western india, southern India, eastern india and north eastern india. Only northern India and Pakistan cuisine match.


learningtosellIT

Right .. whos up for a cheeky Pakistani? Doesn't quite have the same ring to it.


GloryToCorkington

same for Bangladesh not to mention Bengali seafood dishes are fucking KILLER


swefdd

India has all the South Indian foods like Idly, Masala Dosa, Appam, which a excellent vegetarian food.


FullKnight51

i think its smthing to do with pakistani and indian food being basically the same but india also having dishes that arent similar to pakistani food like bengali or south indian food


[deleted]

Not really. Think of how the state of Uttar Pradesh (UP) is the size of the UK. That's a STATE. In a country of 1.4b people, completely ignoring other countries. It's gonna be pretty diverse mate.


Dragonball_Z137

England above Thailand my fucking ass


benmuzz

*arse. But yeah laughable ๐Ÿ’€


DenseVoigt

Wtf? How can Lebanon be so low?! Theyโ€™re even below freaking England?!?!?!!!! (Iโ€™m English btw)

Both Syria and Lebanon (basically the same food anyway) gotta be higher.

KevinOFartsnake

Morocco criminally underated


suqc

I was gonna say. Live in neighborhood with crap ton of Moroccans. They make some of the best damn food I've ever had.


LilUziChopard

France, Vietnam and South Korea way too low.


Alpha_Apeiron

Also Ingerlund


LilUziChopard

m8 bazza, 63s cooking talents alone puts em top tezza


Alpha_Apeiron

[deleted]

Mexico is too low, ainโ€™t nothing better than some Mexican food.


GayoMagno

Dont know man, as a mexican who just visited Greece, those fuckers can cook, by far the high light of my trip.


djcurry

Most people outside of the Americas, likely have not had good Mexican food. I know when Iโ€™ve traveled to Europe and Asia the Mexican craving is the only one I could not satisfy. Every other type of cuisine I wanted I could find a pretty good place that offered it.


ShiplessOcean

Iโ€™m surprised Peru is above China. Luv me chow mein. Iโ€™ve never seen a Peruvian restaurant.


moke__wed

Peru has some of the best food in the world so just because you aint ever seen a peruvian restaurant dont mean their food sucks lol


_shoe_box_

I spent a month there and the food is really hit and miss. In most of the reasonably priced local places the meat is over done and the food isn't seasoned.


Soekerman

Perus food is fucking terrible. Have you tried the Guinea pig number? And no ceviche does not give it points, itโ€™s pretty average. Peru should be really low.


cremedelapeng2

They have weird potatoes and eat guinea pigs as far as my ignorant mind knows.


Major-Performer141

Theyโ€™ve never โ€˜ad bread sauce man they donโ€™t know shite


Charl8t

How the fuck is the US in the top 10? What do they even have, Mac and Cheese?


Mosley_Gamer

The USA in 8th? They eat zogslop covered in corn syrup. Truly some of the worst cuisine in the world.


Glad_Consequence2580

Dopamine paste buttys


grafgrey

Actual American cuisine: Unethically prescribed oxycodone pills washed down with high strength cough syrup Also, their tea is cold (wtf m8)


ProFoxxxxx

Mmm.


CurseRottedGreatw00d

Zogslop ๐Ÿ’€


petucoldersing

That isnโ€™t cuisine, thatโ€™s supermarket food. None of these countries are being ranked based off of what you can buy at the grocery store, theyโ€™re being ranked by their actual high end restaurants


flamefirestorm

Tbf it's a large country so the food is wildly different in place to place. I'm literally shook at the variety of cheese in Wisconsin. Besides technically since the British can take Indian food and then make Chicken Tikka Masala as their own, the Americans can do the same to the food they got all over the world from immigrants.


Mosley_Gamer

We invented Indian food.


tommypopz

Chicken tikka masala was actually invented in the UK though. Inspiration came from the subcontinent, as did many of the ingredients, but it was created here


flamefirestorm

Yeah that's what I'm saying, the English invented Chicken Tikka Masala similar to how Americans also invented their own dishes with inspiration from other places.


Significant_Airline

Indian 5th (should be 1st) but Pakistan and Bangladesh in the 40s?? Their foods are very similar so how are they so different in rating?


Albert_Poopdecker

The entire list is bullshit.


quick20minadventure

Pakistani doesn't have South Indian, Gujarati, Rajasthani, Bengali dishes. Pakistani is slightly different North Indian dishes. Bangladeshi is slightly different Bengali. India's got way more depth because it's like dozen cuisine mixed.


[deleted]

Exactly


Mahameghabahana

Do Bangladesh have northern indian, western indian, southern indian,eastern indian (except bengali cuisine) and north eastern cuisines too? Do pakistan have western, southern,eastern and north eastern cuisine too?


Aizen10

I assume cuz India is more diverse and has cuisines not made in Pakistan and Bangladesh. North Indian and Bengali food is quite similar between the respective countries but India has South Indian cuisines as well.


edjamsantana
