They only had 50 spots man, cut them a break.

>>4006761
>Nothing from Britain.
I see fish 'n' chips in 21.

>CNN

Hmmmm credible source OP???

America got like 5 things. Can't you read?

>>4006801
Yes, actually. CNN is a legit news organization.

This list is fucked.

>Fettucini alfredo, Italy
Actually it was made in USA, just because it is found in American Italian restaurants doesn't make it a native Italian dish.

>43. Fajitas, Mexico
Nope. This is Texas. Made by Mexican Texans, yes. Eaten in some parts of Mexico, yes. But it originated in Texas.

>42. Hamburger, Germany
NOPE. This is American, no argument.

These are the only fuck ups I can see but I am sure there are many more with foods and countries I am less familiar with. The whole article is complete utter shit, man.

Because british food is atrocious and russians only eat because they have to because they can't live on vodka alone.

>no Caviar
>no Filet Mignon

This list is shit.

>>4006761
>46. Maple syrup, Canada

My sister has only made one good thing in her life, and it was some amazing sweet potato dish from Africa. I wish I knew what it was.

> Readers' choice
> every other food is listed as being from the wrong fucking country

CNN can't even do food right

>>4006911

Was it sweet potato or yam?

>>4006761
Biased - an overwhelming amount of the spots were occupied by Asian food.

>>4006761
isn't Anthony Bourdain going to be doing something for CNN soon?

>>4006761
>Fajitas
>from Mexico

>>4007275
oh god, another one

>Hamburger
>Germany

Germans are responsible for Hamburg steak, the finely ground beef that comprises hamburger patties. Americans are the first ones who stuck a grilled or fried Hamburg steak on a bun.

>>4007237
nothing wrong about any of that

>>4006843

>mfw my russian friend backs this up.

What a joke. Just add 50 food stuffs and randomly put them in whatever order you care for and then claim they're the 50 best foods in the World. No wonder CNN has become such a laughing stock.

I read in Maxim years back that pad thai was invented in Greenwich Village in the 70's. Were those idiots fucking with me?

Holy moly. The one thing this list promotes is the writer's field of experience - white American suburban upbringing, sheltered white collar work life, and "worldly experience" from vacationing in the most superficial of south-east Asian tourist traps.

>>4007329
was what invented in the 70's what are you talking about nigger?

>>4006911
Fufu?

>47. Fettucini alfredo, Italy
right ... italy ... thats 'murican

>46. Maple syrup, Canada
more like native americans

>43. Fajitas, Mexico
again i belive that to be 'murican (tex mex)

>42. Hamburger, Germany
true origins sketchy, but ima give that the 'muricans as inventor of the dish we known today

>32. Lobster, Global
sketchy

>31. Fried chicken, United States
the fuck ? southern friend chicken is murican,

>30. Cheeseburger, United States
adding cheese not a whole new dish makes

>25. Chocolate, Mexico
plant mexico, chocolate bars as we know today, that would be the british...

and reading through all that
jesus fuck why is CNN still called a credible news organization

>>4006761
To be fair, most of the US ones are lip service as its probably a US blog. I mean, ice cream is ancient, as is frying chicken.

Also, the entire top ten is Asian cuisine so it's hardly a serious list. Just a bit of fun.

>jesus fuck why is CNN still called a credible news organization

Dem moneys mang. A lot of people have invested in that corporation. As a result, a lot of people are both backing it, as well as believing what they pawn off as news because they have money riding on it so they can't even entertain the possibility of them being wrong.

Shit's funny.

>Poll only takes Americans into account

Thats why theres nothing from abroad, apart from generic asian dishes and "Italian". Its an established fact around the world that Americans have no taste

>>4007490

Just like Fox News

>>4007425
Fajitas are definitely Mexican, but I do gotta say that what is usually presented as fajitas in the US is a pile of lies.

>>4007499

>Its an established fact around the world that Americans have no taste

It's funny that you almost had a point, then you had to go into a wild generality that basically makes you look like the uneducated douche.

No points are awarded.

>>4007506
lol

>>4007506
The stereotypical American, to the majority of the world, is the fat lazy nascar fan. Yes there are people living there who have good taste, but if I look at that poll im not going to think that the more sophisticated pople of the country are going to be voting on it, because its a stupid internet poll. I also think its true that the English have a generally poor taste, and wouldnt trust a "50 best foods" on BBC news. Why am I even typing this this is a troll thread

>>4007514

You stated opinion and stereotype. In the previous post the phrase was literally "established fact", that terminology is an intentional lie meant to incite angry insults. If the person who stated that was trying to actually state his true opinion, it gives a look at that persons own crushing insecurities with his own home country.

Now that aside, watching Fox News and assuming that's how the country is, is like me getting my opinions of British from what we hear about Chavs, Or Mexicans from stories of drug cartels. If you lived in either of these countries, and imagined a scenario where someone generalized your entire country based on a 1%, vocal population, you can imagine the confusion when people state that it is "established fact" regardless of the meaning of those words. Which is ironic when that person was arguing how dumb and tasteless Americans are.

Now I can imagine the posts after this are going to be mocking and trollish, because even attempting to respond to someone logically on 4chan is just an exercise in futility, but I've had too many beers tonight to care.

>>4007514

being as how the top ten are all asian, and about half of the top ten are thai, i'd say the list is not really based on any poll, and definitely not a poll with many americans.

looks like they might have had a poll, and the the author created his own list.

>top 2 are indonesian
>sushi no 3
>dimsum not no.1
>ramen not top 5

America, y u no can into rijsttafel restaurants?
