the Balkans obviously

Reminds me of when my brother made dinner for his in-laws when he first started dating his wife
>be bro
>making dinner for gfs family at their house
>parents and grandparents are italian immigrants
>mama mia but whatever
>gf tells him to make spaghetti since it's everyone's favorite
>makes it
>brings out to table
>grandparents look pissed
>grandfather turning red and swearing
>grandmother goes from english to italian
>goes from pissed to crying upset
>dad threatening to kick bro's ass for making grandma cry
>gf and mom trying to bring order
>bro ends up bailing without saying a word when he hears pops rifling through cupboards
>finds out later that grandparents were upset because the presentation and smell didn't match what they traditionally had/made back in italy
>hes never cooked anything for them since

>>16555765
everyone knows Italy is peak culture. food, clothes, wine. Gaul can't compete, they're kidding themselves

>>16555799
>almost getting stabbed by italians over tomato sauce

>>16555765
France alone beats the whole south.

>>16555799
This can't be real

>>16555799

>>16555799
Why are italian so fucking butthurt?
They never cook their dishes the same, take two Italians, they'll give you two different recipes for the same dish, but when a foreigner cooks one of their dishes differently, they turn into absolute niggers.
Why??

>>16555806
>everyone knows Italy is peak culture.
Shit imported by Venetian traders that Italian then considered theirs.

the balkans use Sunflower oil for everything,
As is always the case with these maps they were made by some clueless retard. I hope that was not you OP

nobody mentions german cuisine

>>16555799
Is this copy pasta now?

>>16556283
Same when they think all they eat is expensive lamb.

>>16556300
nope

>>16556300
poland is better

>>16556374
they eat the same things

>>16556300
>German cuisine
Only other thing apart from sausages and beer I can think of is the fat lady making horrific fly calorific food

>>16555869
Angloids are not European.

>>16556379
>fat lady
who?

>>16556389
The European Union is not all of Europe.

>>16555765
I think the Spanish, because they have great ingredients and don't mask it with a shitload of oil and butter like everywhere else that claims to have culinary superiority.

>>16555765
>Venice and Milan are magically somehow "butter countries"
nice reddit map

Do they actually use butter for cooking?!

>>16555765
>France is the only good country in Butter Europe
OP obviously never been to belgium

>>16556256
>they turn into absolute niggers.

Drop the niggers, it's literally just unfiltered white rage.

>>16556459
The European Union is not just Europeans.

>>16555765
combine them for best result

>>16555869
I thought margarine was banned in the uk

>>16557198
you're not white alfonso

Italian and French are obviously kings, I'd say Greek is also up there. Spanish, German and British (only because of how badly it's perceived) food are all underrated.

>>16555799
Italians are overreacting babies. I've seen shit like this happen and it was pretty cringe.

>>16555765
I disagree with this map. Us croats use olive oil a bunch and we have a lot of local made olive oil.

>>16555765
Italy is the best, then Spain, then France. Poland is massively underrated.

>>16556377
No

>if we just keep claiming we have the best cuisine, everyone will just agree even if they have never had our cuisine
t. Francois Fromage & Luigi Pomodoro

>>16558415
Oh, forgot to include Greece to round out the top 5. And, honestly, Poland might be better than France. France has much more variety and is more consistent, but Poland has significantly higher peaks and isn’t pretentious about it.

>>16555799
What I remember as Italy food growing up as a young kid in Bologna

>stuffed mice
>maggot cheese
>squid ink noodles
>toasted bread with cow spleen
>unidentifed pig parts in gelatin
>chocolate flavored pig blood
>one time, lamb brains

Americans have no idea how bad it really is. No one in Italy knows what the fuck fettuccini alfredo is or spaghetti and meatballs. Italian food is disgusting. Literally the worst parts to eat of any animal. Makes sense because wops are the race of humans closest to animals. They make disgusting noises when they eat, slurp everything, men in the streets wave their fucking hands and wildly gesturing in front of their sweaty faces while laughing and chewing with their mouths full of food. Like what kind of idiot decided that hardtack would be the ideal breakfast. Starving Nigerians who eat grass have a better diet than the average italian.

>>16556340
Copypasta?! You call this minchia copypasta? Whass-amatta-you, stupido?.It aint real copypasta unless its just like nonna use to make. I otta take you outside and teach you not to disrespect Italian cuisine

>>16555765
what a cringe map, eastern europe should be sunflower oil or pork fat

In Spain before globalization also butter and pork fat was used, olive oil was only for the areas with olive trees.

Germany was also big on using pork (and geese) fat, but it fell out of fashion (as a cooking fat but also as a spread on bread). The concept of clarified butter still seems to be strange to still a lot of people (it's also very expensive) and regular butter burns to fast so people use sunflower or rapeseed oil for daily cooking. Butter is often added later just for taste. Wannabe chefs and housewifes, who watch to many cooking shows use olive oil for everything.

i enjoyed this

we should write more variants on it

>>16555765
Spain because it has the best parts of the Med and the Atlantic to offer.

>>16558680
>>unidentifed pig parts in gelatin
we have this in the balkans too

Go be a soijak somewhere else. There is good and tasty food in Germany, Austria, Poland, Czechia, up in Scandinavia and elsewhere. I'm actually looking down on you tastelets not even trying great stuff like rye bread or smoked fish just to tend for your 'muh superiour food culture' bullshit. You're not an inch better than the idiots responding with 'Looks like poo' to Indian curries.

I'm from Spain and I enjoy my country's food the most for obvious reasons. That being said, I just went on a 12 day trip to finland and spent most of my days in a comfy cabin by the lake with my gf's family, and I think most nordics think too little about their gastronomy.

Her mother was super self conscious about giving me any food but I thought there was some pretty nice things i would have never tried otherwise. I unironically think rye bread is more interesting than most white bread, the summer potatoes were actually excellent and the freshwater fishes they marinated were excellent too. Also we don't get to have any berries in Spain and trying all those different kinds was very nice aswell.

In my experience, most food people has most of the time is not really anything special. We don't have expensive iberico ham 7 days a week in spain. It's more about cherishing the moments you get to enjoy some foods which might not even be particularly exquisite, and I think that's more like what really happens in the med countries.

Colossal drunks up there tho. Lots of fun.

It's well-known that Denmark has the best food scene in the world, so by extension they're the best on Europe too.

>>16559616
you sonuvabitch, how did you manage to fish a fin grill?

>>16559636
Tinder in Madrid. It's been 2 years and I can tell you that the cultural barrier is being quite a problem long term for many things. We come from the very opposite sides of europe. But we'll see.

>>16557020
Non country

>>16559693
good luck, just get her pregnant asap, not even joking, you'd probably be doing both of you a favor

>>16559705
hah. That's one of the contingency points. She has no intention to marry and having kids was never in her plans.

It's something we shall discuss again soon. I personally don't think we'll make it right now. But it's been worth it.

>>16559718
alright good luck to you anyways

>>16558680
>stuffed mice
no such thing
>maggot cheese
Not italian
>squid ink noodles
>unidentifed pig parts in gelatin
delicious
>toasted bread with cow spleen
You are an absolute tastelet. Stick with hotdogs mutt
>chocolate flavored pig blood
no such thing since 100 years or so.
>one time, lamb brains
it's very nice

I can't tell if you were prising italian cuisine or objectively retarded. The things that you didn't pull out of your ass are actually delicious

It's a spicy pasta

We still eat sanguinaccio in Naples. It's pretty good.

>>16560126
>>16559990
We have sweet blood sausage in Spain too. It's pretty good. I swear some people are just picky as shit.

Butter Europe has Olive Europe by the throat.

Stop listening to female propaganda/meat hate/butter&cream hate/foie gras hate/liquor hate.

Start living.

>>16557198
I’ll drop niggers left and right whenever I want to

>>16560126
No you don't, unless you are from some butthole village in campania. Sanguinaccio nowadays is done without blood since it's illegal

>>16557020
North of France and Belgium share many dishes. Its very close desu.

>>16560415
>Blood sausage is now fucking illegal
When the fuck are you guidos going to rise the fuck up ? First they fuck with your cheese and now sausage ? I thought you guys are terrorism specialists.

>>16560499
> When the fuck are you guidos going to rise the fuck up
Because we are not amerilard that rise up when they stop selling whoppers

>>16556379
We have bread, cakes and pastries. Then we do a lot with carbs like Knödel, Spätzle. We also have shelf stable veggies like pickles, Sauerkraut and Rotkohl. Lots of roasts and stews plus the sausages you already mentioned.
In addition to all of that, we have lots of seasonal dishes, like asparagus or anything with fruits and berries.

A lot of our cuisine however is regional and isn't well known outside of our borders. That makes it difficult for it to attain global fame.

I'll post a recipe as an example that the experienced cooks of /ck/ should be able to tackle.

>>16560526
Amerilards don't know shit about rising up. The picosecond someone tries to mess with our way of life here in France we take it to the streets.

If it's ok for muslims, don't be too cocky

>>16560535
Ok, so you take raw herring filets. However many you like. If you don't want to leave them whole cut them into pieces as a last resort.

Now take an apple and two onions and cut them into thin slices.

Chop a copious amount of dill.

Put all of it into a bowl, cover with yoghurt, a bit of cream. Use milk until the consistency is to your liking, but don't overdo it or it will be soup.

Cover the bowl and let it soak for two days. Then eat it cold on hot, peeled potatoes.

You think you can manage this recipe?

>>16560563
Muslims are literally parked in ghettos. Also we have been blasting Isis ass in the Sahel for years now. Also you guys have the same problem lmao

>>16559616
Interesting to read this, i’m finnish. I do agree that new summer potatoes, some butter and fermented herring is really good. Also fresh berries from the ground.

>>16556300
Even the UK has better food than Germany

>>16560606
I liked the graavisiilakka a lot. And we did a crawfish party and got pretty hammered. Apparently my political family was mindblown at how proficient i was at desling with crawfish. I never had crawfish in my life before but i guess i've had more than enough seafood in my life so it counts.

>>16555765
Easy answer. In the south butter is as cheap as olive oil.
In the north olive oil is almost a luxury item.

>>16560673
Nah.

>>16560858
Yes.

netherlands has best cuisine
lmao jk
for a bunch of sexy viking niggas they cant cook for shit LOL

>>16560887
Feel free to elaborate.

>>16555765
You can probably include most of the balkan countries in olive oil europe as well. And France. France is both.

>>16560887
Germany has pretzels and sausage. I fucking love pretzels and sausage.

Cold and wet weather is peak comfy for me and nothing goes better with it than hearty stews and pies. I’m gonna go with Ireland

>>16561710
>stews
yeah boyee
my favorite food of all

>>16558680
lamb brain in one my favorite foods
